Fast Database, Easy to manage
What do you like best about the product?
I like that ScyllaDB is compatible with Cassandra. It fully implements Cassandra Query Language (CQl). This makes migration very easy. It also means that existing skills can be utilised without significant training. (Quick learning curve) The Developer advocate team are really helpful. They understand your questions and reply honestly with appropriate solutions. They will tell you if your architecture or data model is wrong or if ScyllaDB is inappropriate for your use case. There is a lot of courses available for free through ScyllaDB University. Very low latencies
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB only supports ACID transactions across a single partition and not across, multiple partitions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with several tables containing a large amount of sensitive health data. The tables need to be joined and this process takes too long. By using ScyllaDB I expect faster analysis and reporting times.ScyllaDB also provided encryption for my data and I manage the key(s)
