Good NoSQL database with really high throughput at sub millisecond latencies

  • February 14, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most important point is that Scylla is written in C++. Very good scalable, reliable, and fast database, for sure developer-friendly. The Seastar network works very well, no special infrastructure is required, latency is better than in other solutions. A lot of additional features like materialized views, global and local secondary indexes, workload prioritization, and a DynamoDB-compatible API make Scylla a good competitor for Cassandra.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scylla is still not so popular as other solutions. Cassandra is now the standard for column-store databases. Not many users decided to switch to ScyllaDB so community and support are weak at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I tried to solve a problem with latency during using Cassandra. I have noticed a nice performance improvement and potential for lower operational cost, also latency is better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth to try

High performance and low cost with ScyllaDB

  • February 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and ease of use make database administration more manageable. Cassandra and DynamoDB compatibility allowed us to use CQL drivers to interact with the database. Another exciting feature of Scylla is its fast replication. ScyllaDB provides high performance with millions of requests per sec per Scylla node due to fewer internal database operations. Scylla provides excellent monitoring capabilities with Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using Syclla requires complete application knowledge before the data can be modeled. No transactional guarantee and joins in ScyllaDB can be an issue for some use cases, along with the low consistency. No support for Azure in ScyllaDB Cloud is a pain point for companies looking to run all their workloads on Azure. ScyllaDB cloud lacks support for connecting to the cluster through a browser, which most other DBaaS providers provide. SycllaDB lacks direct support for other monitoring tools apart from Prometheus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ScyllaDB for storing big data in a distributed system. We use Terabytes of data across regions with high availability, thanks to Scylla. We use the Syclla Cloud providing and it is excellent for administration since it allows us to connect our AWS account(Bring Your Own Cloud, BYOC) and run workloads on our cloud account.

Scales well with good throughput/latency and costs are within our budget. Good support from the ScyllaDB team in answering the questions and helping us with our journey.

It includes a built-in caching layer that can improve performance for frequently-accessed data.Additionally, it has a number of built-in monitoring and management tools that can help you keep track of the performance and health of your database. Overall, it is a highly-performant and scalable NoSQL database that is well-suited for real-time big data applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB can be complex to set up and manage, particularly for users unfamiliar with Apache Cassandra or other NoSQL databases. Its built-in monitoring and management tools may not be as comprehensive as some other options on the market. Also, the cost of a commercial license for ScyllaDB is higher than other open-source alternatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can tell you that ScyllaDB is designed to solve several common problems associated with big data workloads. These include:

1.Advanced Data modeling features: it supports advanced features such as secondary indexes and materialized views, which can make it easier to query and analyze data.

2.Built-in monitoring and management tools: it has a number of built-in monitoring and management tools that can help you keep track of the performance and health of your database

Awesome NoSQL database for generating reports and complex queries

  • February 10, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ScyllaDB is currently the best non-memory database to generate reports astonishingly faster. The worker node principle compared to the primary slave architecture of MongoDB, which I now use, is a huge bonus since I am not wasting any valuable system resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't get the confidence to use ScyllaDB as a full production use DB since I had a few instances where the DB terminated due to heavy load. It needs more time to mature and gain my trust for full-fledged standalone production usage.

Edit: The more recent versions of ScyllaDB are more stable. We have finally deployed the reporting server to our production environment running ScyllaDB and have faced no issues till now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ScyllaDB in our organization to generate reports. The time taken for report generation in ScyllaDB is significantly faster compared to MongoDB, which we are currently using as our main Production DB
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ScyllaDB is great if you want to generate reports or perform complex queries on millions of data
