What do you like best about the product?
We had replaced out Mysql and Postgres databases with ScyllaDb the change was easy and smooth. We had an increased speed and a reduction of crashed .
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the base SQL does not work. But there are easy to adjust and fix
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Mysql DB did not support our use case very well so we moved to Postgres and also Won't work. We try ScyllaDB and all our performance issues were solved like a charm

From Cassandra to ScyllaDB: Why I Made the Switch

  • March 11, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most important thing about ScyllaDB is it's performance. As it's written in C++ it's super super fast as compared to cassandra which is written in java. This means no garbage collection pauses, lower CPU overhead, and significantly better resource utilization. Also, one more important thing is Shard-Per-Core Architecture, This eliminates inter-core contention and boosts throughput dramatically. It also provides better scalability over very less numbers of nodes And The best part? ScyllaDB is fully compatible with Cassandra’s APIs and query language (CQL). This means you can migrate from Cassandra to ScyllaDB with minimal effort and you get massive performance improvements.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB is 100% compatible with Cassandra’s CQL, but the broader ecosystem—third-party tools, integrations, and community plugins—is still catching up. Some tools designed for Cassandra may not work perfectly out of the box with ScyllaDB. ScyllaDB allows you to do more with fewer nodes, which is great. But the hardware requirements can be more demanding, and if you go with the Enterprise edition or Scylla Cloud, licensing costs could be a factor for some businesses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ScyllaDB’s Database-as-a-Service for a project that deals with a massive amount of data points—things like measuring heartbeats and signals in real time. Handling this kind of high-frequency data storage isn’t easy, but ScyllaDB makes it seamless.

High Throughput & Low Latency: The data comes in fast, and ScyllaDB handles it without lag.
Scalability Without the Hassle: I don’t have to worry about scaling manually. As the data grows, ScyllaDB scales with it.
Zero Ops Overhead: Since I’m using it as a managed service, I don’t have to spend time tuning or maintaining the database—it just works.

We are using ScyllaDB in production, at large scale, and recommend to everyone

What do you like best about the product?
Horizontally scalable, optimized for heavy writes, but also good with well-designed reads.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are well known trade-offs which you have to understand when choosing any NoSQL db instead of any relational: eventual consistency, joins, transactions etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our platform is serving large number of users, as well as high volume of content. We are using ScyllaDB to store the state. As the audience is distributed, we are benefiting from geo-distributed cluster which accepts the write at the region where the user is located, and making it eventually consistent across the globe.

Traditional, vertically-scalable databases, while having other valuable attributes (such as ACID) are not well suited for globally distributed and horizontally scalable set ups.

ScyllaDB the performance monster.

What do you like best about the product?
We are one of the biggest companies from Bangladesh. We use ScyllaDB on our workload. We server around 20+ countries. By utilizing this database we have reached to this cap with little to no performance issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB uses very high-end hardware to unleash the whole power of ScyllaDB. That's put a pressure on the cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are serving almost 20+ countries like UK, US most of EU countries. In traditional No-SQL database we found high latency issue, and there was complexity while setting these databases but this is where ScyllaDB solved our issues.

What do you like best about the product?
It's really fast and great for our use case (we store data as protobuf records)
What do you dislike about the product?
Filtering and counting are not one of the strengths of ScyllaDB
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB scales impressively by adding more machines, thanks to its efficient design that maximizes hardware use. Its stability comes from predictable performance and a robust architecture, making it reliable even under heavy loads.

High-Performance NoSQL Database with Low Latency ....super cool

  • March 11, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ScyllaDB’s shard-per-core architecture maximizes performance, ensuring ultra-low latency and high availability. Its compatibility with Apache Cassandra makes migration seamless, and the automatic tuning significantly reduces operational overhead.
What do you dislike about the product?
While powerful, ScyllaDB has a steep learning curve, and fine-tuning performance may require deep database knowledge. The documentation, though comprehensive, could provide more real-world use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now I am figuring out the usability for ScyllaDB.
