ScyllaDB for natural language processing — glad we moved on from Cassandra!

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We previously used Cassandra to back a natural language processing system, storing news articles and metadata for an IR frontend. We evaluated migrating to Scylla and found it an absolute joy to work with. Creating the same schema was easy, and loading the snapshot from Cassandra to Scylla made it really easy to move the data over without having to write one-off custom scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing I could think of is to clean up the documentation on migration a little bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to obtain better read performance as well as reliability, and wanted to future-proof our solution. I think Scylla has enabled us to be more productive in this way.

Great migration experience

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My organization upgraded from Cassandra to Scylla last year. We were forced to make the migration earlier than expected due to some hardware failures. Once those issues were resolved, the performance advantages really stood out.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any complaints about Scylla that wouldn't be common to all NoSQL solutions. When compared to its peers, Scylla is easy to use and offers many advantages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Costs - the increased efficiency allows us to use far fewer resources than were required with Cassandra. This has been the primary benefit of migrating to Scylla.

One of the best performance in nosql databases

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ScyllaDB offers excellent read and write performance and takes perfect advantage of the new multicore and multiprocessor architectures that we can find in modern CPUs. In addition, it provides features that are consistent with new cloud-based architectures, such as high availability and high scalability in multicluster environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
As points for improvement, we could highlight that the documentation should be expanded with more specific use cases in order to make the most of the possibilities of the architecture it offers. In addition, interoperability and compatibility with other databases such as Cassandra could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB is intended for those organizations that have problems with the performance of the database infrastructure they are using. The main advantages of using ScyllaDB are high availability, high scalability, and low latency, allowing queries to be resolved in times of microseconds and having superior performance to other NoSQL databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using ScyllaDB for users or organizations looking for a flexible, fast, and optimized database for concurrent queries in multi-cloud and multicluster environments.

ScyllaDB is a great choice for stateful processing.

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We at Expedia Group replaced Redis with ScyllaDB for stateful processing of data pipeline, and we reduced our cost by 80% for state store. And latency is significantly less and performance is very compatible with any in-memory databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB list, map data type is only suitable for small size data. Otherwise, there is a performance hit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using ScyllaDB, we are able to maintain stateful processing in our data pipeline to update the data model in real-time. Previously, we were using Redis, where our costs were enormous. By switching to ScyllaDB, we reduced our costs by 80%.

ScyllaDB - The low latency, high throughput, highly scalable NOSQL database

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cassandra compatibility, lower node count, highly available, highly scalable horizontally and vertically, syntax similar to CQL, low latency, high read throughput, and write throughput, no JVM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is very minimal. Connectors are not available for all databases for easy migration to Scylla. Lack of good ecosystems and features like Cassandra.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to have a key-value data store, but we had a huge data, so we chose ScyllaDB. Also, we had a low latency reads requirement. We benefited from all the advantages of Scylla like fewer nodes, high read and. write throughputs, high availability, and scalability of Scylla.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No harm in trying as replacement to Cassandra.

NoSQL databases with improvements!

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The architecture model of data replication, token ranges and consistency levels are presented well. Also, working with cluster level read and write interactions are done such that with a few commands this could be easily handled.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much of a negative but more detail and documentation around shard's in ScyllaDB could be referenced. Also, some details on the architecture in relation to the shards in ScyllaDB could be clarified
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for distributed computing and managing nodes and clusters along with data replication. ScyllaDB also has a strong focus on not being a RDBMS but something where I could do this via a NoSQL Approach.

Recommend on price and speed

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ScyllaDB is fast. I've ran benchmarks against some other NoSQL solutions that I had been considering for a project and was impressed with the speed that ScyllaDB ran the queries under load. ScyllaDB was also more competetively priced making it an even more attractive solution
What do you dislike about the product?
I wasn't able able to find existing Perl CPAN packages that worked well, but it was simple enough to create modules to suit our own use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems that we were seeing were related to higher than desired latency in requests. ScyllaDB decreased the latency in our requests, so we had seem performance gains
