Recommend on price and speed

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

They should have a simple best vs worst use cases in comparing against their competitors.

Monster of a Database

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the cluster architecture of ScyllaDB. There aren't any leaders, followers, replicas, etc. All nodes in a cluster are equal. If aqueried node does not have that data, it will reach the other nodes to find who has the data. This querying architecture makes it very easy for developers to write applications using ScyllaDB and for operators to set up and maintain clusters.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scylla Cloud does not support Terraform. I looked into the offering last year and making changes to a cluster requires emailing the support team. My company already uses Terraform for Infrastructure as Code and we wanted to use Terraform for Scylla Cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the need for reading/write latency on over 1TB of data in less than 5ms with ScyllaDB. Our main application needs to respond very quickly and we have used ScyllaDB to replace PostgreSQL and Redis. The benefits here are lower cloud costs and less complexity.

A good database system

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our dev team was I have attended Scylla University courses to understand the functioning and have to say its been a thorough session with hands on labs. Now I understand how to use it. Scylla is great, go for it. exploring options on improving DB results and we had 3-4 options ready to test. Scylla DB definitely was performing better and we found it to be safe and easy to use as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many issues were found in the test phase. But maybe we could see some when and if we implement more heavy microservices and deploy them to real-time testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now the team uses MySQL which is fine for the monolith. But moving to cloud storage, we really need a strong DB management system and we think Scylla is capable of supporting our apps.

Speedy noSQL, good for big data

What do you like best about the product?
Scylla handles concurrency significantly better than alternatives. The open-source version is great for experimenting without a license.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I haven't used it enough and I havent' used it in a professional envorionment to find issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my project, I was glad to have the plug-and-play Kafka connector, made it easy to stream large amounts of data.

So fast!

  • July 26, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
The speed of writing and reading, along with maximizing resources in a zero-config way for servers where it's installed is insanely useful, even if it's not completely API-complete against Cassandra.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license (Affero) was too restrictive for our organization, so we had to pass on using it, despite the ease-of-use and speed benefits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would use it as a backend store for longitunidal patient data by data type. Our current solution requires a ton of tuning and node investment that would otherwise not have been necessary if we went with Scylla
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can afford the Enterprise license or are not bundling it with a solution for sale it is a no-brainer for the use case of storing dynamic tables
