Boost authentication and session management with reliable and fast data handling
Reviewed on Nov 13, 2024
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
Aerospike is mainly used as the first step for authentication, authorization, and session persistence in our organization. It is a critical part of our workflow, as without it, we wouldn't be able to authenticate users, which would create a single point of failure.
How has it helped my organization?
Aerospike has been very reliable in managing our authentication and authorization services, helping us process millions of users with scalability.
What is most valuable?
From a pricing standpoint, Aerospike might be on the expensive end, yet it offers features where everything can be stored in memory ephemerally. It provides good options for persistent and hybrid storage. It shows better compression and compaction, which is valuable. The speed at which data is ingested and retrieved is impressive. The Aerospike cluster is lean even with high reliability or replication factors.
What needs improvement?
There is a lot of technical debt in our company, and we need to update to the latest versions. The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern. A tool for automatically handling such upgrades would reduce operational huddle. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Aerospike had a community version to encourage broader adoption and experimentation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used this solution for around five to six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
From a stability standpoint, Aerospike’s reliability is solid.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Even though we run on older versions, we have not faced any major issues regarding scalability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use other databases as well. The effective use case for Aerospike remains in areas where high scalability and fast data retrieval are necessary.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was a long time ago, before my tenure here, and I am not fully aware of the complexities involved.
What was our ROI?
We have considered migrating workloads from other database solutions to Aerospike. The current infrastructure provides a good ROI in terms of extracting value from the pricing.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We use around half a TB of data and spend approximately $36,000 to $40,000 USD per year on Aerospike.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
Use it wisely, considering what data needs to be stored. The cost in a cost-sensitive market makes it tricky, so careful planning is crucial. We rate Aerospike as eight or nine out of ten.

NOSQL database that is highly scalable.
Reviewed on Jan 11, 2021
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Metadata used a standard open-source NOSQL database, but we encountered problems with size and velocity, as the company database increased. Due to its simplicity of use, simple setup and a high speed reading and writing, we have chosen Aerospike to replace MongoDB. Together with the simple customer creation and a sync request support, we have been able to increase our outlining algorithms and operate twice as quickly, allowing us to service more customers with even smaller hardware resources in a lower amount. The move to Aerospike has expanded our capabilities and led to the growth of our business. Any tech company searching for a solid database, which remains scalable, super-fast and commercially accessible, should be advised by Aerospike.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our approach and architecture had no issues with installing or incorporating Aerospike. It was made simpler by your documentation, and we had no problems scaling it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest challenge was to help our rising database without compromising pace or buying substantially more infrastructure on our network. The consequences were fantastic, as we doubled our performance while retaining a sleek infra cloud.
