Pinecone fails to give accuare results
What do you like best about the product?
Pinecone is fast and fully managed. It also allows you to duplicate your index and create a new one. It was well suited for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
It provides inaccurate search results even for simple semantic search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to build a conversational chatbot over users documents. A user can upload thousands of documents and we can build a chatbot for them using Pinecone.

User-friendly enterprise grade vector database
What do you like best about the product?
We started using Pinecone pretty early on. I like the light UI on top of an API-first approach. We have been using it now for millions of daily queries, and it has rarely, if ever, gone down or giving us trouble. Highly recommended!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure what to say here. It's been a good experience overall. If I had to say something, the pricing was tricky to groc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast retrieval of multi-modal search queries
Ease to use and implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to signup and implement and use it as daily basis. Performance is stable and very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything bad about Pinecone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building the RAG application.
Great for prototype to production
I started using Pinecone with a free account when prototyping a new use case for vector search. Pinecone proved easy to work with and simple to get something working off the ground into the hands of my company. I was quite pleased with the setup process moving to the AWS marketplace as we put this prototype into production. It was simple to add to our existing AWS account, the Pinecone UI connects nicely to our test account so I can switch between production and test with ease - really useful for local development and debugging. Overall found the experience working with Pinecone to be great. There are certain areas that would be great to improve, the Node library was a bit funky when I first started using it (but that was a pre 1.0 version), the dashboard in the UI could add a few additional features to navigate and visualize what is stored in the DB, but those are all minor nice to haves that I'm sure will come. The search quality and reliability has been great and that was most critical to our needs right now.l
fast and easy to setup vector database
What do you like best about the product?
The things I mostly like are:
- that is easy to set up by following the docs
- fast for loading and updating embeddings in the index
- easy to scale if needed

What do you dislike about the product?
- that is not open source
- I cannot query the full list of ids from an index (I needed to build a database and a script to track what products I have inside the index)
- customer support by mail takes too much time

- customer support by mail takes too much time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I built a deep learning model for product matching in the ecommerce industry. One of the steps for the system is to find candidates that are potential matches for the searched product. Becase of this, I needed a vector database to store the embeddings (texts and image) for the products for doing a similarity search as a first step of the product matching system.
GWI on Pinecone
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use and metadata filtering. Pinecone is one of the few products out there that is performant with a query that contains metadata filtering.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing doesn't scale well for companies with millions of vectors, especially for p indexes. We experimented with pgvector to move our vectors in a postgres but the metadata filtering performance was not acceptable with the current indexes it supports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Semantic search for now.
Fine Product, Tough Debugging
The product overall is fine, but the GUI is quite disappointing when I try to debug. I have to write queries in the odd QL, which makes the entire process frustrating.
The fastest in production VectorDB yet
What do you like best about the product?
The speed. Hands down. QPS and the throughput is just the best in the industry. Easiest to get started with. Good support for parallel processing and batching.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, just could release more complex document related retrieval systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Semantic search is hands down a new way to search which is extremely efficient. Pinecone does a great job at not only providing the vector DBMS but giving the oppurtunity for scale.
Production-ready vector database to get you started quickly
What do you like best about the product?
- Good documentation and usage examples
- Easy-to-use Python SDK
- Production-ready with low latency at our scale (10-20M vectors)
- Good integration with the AI/LLM ecosystem
- Easy-to-use Python SDK
- Production-ready with low latency at our scale (10-20M vectors)
- Good integration with the AI/LLM ecosystem
What do you dislike about the product?
- did not find an easy way to export all vectors that we needed for data science/cleaning
- will get expensive when hosting 100s of millions of vectors
- will get expensive when hosting 100s of millions of vectors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Pinecone as a vector database for retrieval augmented generation using LLMs.
A Reliable and Consistent Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Pinecone has been a game-changer for our company, especially in the realm of vector embeddings. What stands out the most is its robust performance and reliability. Over the six months of our usage, we have not encountered any downtime, which is crucial for our operations.
