The product is good. When I tried to deploy the product for the first time, I liked Pinecone's approach, and it was one of the major reasons why I decided to continue with the product.
I mostly use the solution in my company for data storage.

I think Pinecone provides good features, and I feel that the product gives out some free space during the starting stages, just like how Fortinet and some other tools do, so that users can learn to use the solution. It is a good thing that the product supports research among its users. The product also offers support, especially when they are supposed to interact with the servers of the users.
There aren't any problems with the product, and I feel it is a good solution. Users also need to consider the different sources and options in the market and, at their own discretion, should decide whether to go with Pinecone or some other solution. In Pinecone, there are a lot of changes to be made to meet your requirements. Even though Pinecone is a good tool, I haven't used it much.
For testing purposes, the product should offer support locally as it is one area where the tool has shortcomings. A person needs to learn everything and figure out how the product works. If, as users, we get to know how to use the product properly, then we can use it for our specific use cases, making the product more user-friendly for all. The product can be made more user-friendly.
I have been using Pinecone for one to two years. I am a user of the tool.
In my company, it was me who was using the product initially, after which we tried to integrate it with other tools.
My company selected another solution over Pinecone. I don't know much about Pinecone, and I don't know much about its deployment. I only know how to use the solution and interact with its UI. I don't have much information about the platform.
The product was installed on Pinecone's server. The product's setup phase was easy.
I have experience with the tool's free version.
Everything is good in the solution, including its user interface. Pinecone provides its best facilities for beginners to be able to learn the product, so I think it is an easy and good product to use.
I would recommend the product to others, and I would also suggest that it is very important to learn on how things work in Pinecone, especially areas like automation, integrations and secrets detection engine.
It is easy to learn about the product since all the information related to the solution is provided to users. Users just need to read the information provided by Pinecone and implement them.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
We've been building an ERP dashboard using generative UI. We needed a vector database to retrieve and implement augmentation, so we opted to use Pinecone.
We chose Pinecone because it covers most of the use cases. Also, Pinecone is stable and reliable.
We are using Pinecone for retrieval. Pinecone did a really great job in marketing and perfecting its adoption. That was very helpful because we could find resources if we got stuck on a problem. The only reason we are not using Quadrant, despite its promising features and reliable performance, is its limited resources. Pinecone community has been around for a lot longer than the Quadrant community.
We chose Python so that any new feature we could add could be implemented easily. Since Python has been around for a while, plenty of options are available. Some tutorials and resources, such as blog posts, provide references for implementing new features. We haven't utilized anything specific to Pinecone that only Pinecone offers.
The tool collects data, adds it to the database, and retrieves it using its SDK.
Onboarding could be better and smoother. Navigation is difficult because most of us rely on watching tutorials on YouTube to understand how to use this software. The onboarding journey should explain more topics.
We are currently using it.
The solution is stable. We use it for enterprise purposes. It's reliable for our use case. We haven't experienced any downtime or significant latency issues.
We use the tool for a single project with 10-15 people.
We worked with PG vector. We were using Sophos and a free directory plugin. We used it for testing and building the prototype. When I built it, we opted for more widely adopted services. We chose a database geared towards storing and retrieving active data, especially in augmenting generation.
The initial setup is great.
The scope of the project was really small to opt for positives with the PG vector plug-in. We opted for Pinecone since it is popular, and has a better use case.
The main issue arises when our team members join, and we must guide them, especially those unfamiliar with Pinecone. We assign them a small project to explore the software independently. This helps them overcome any hurdles and gain a deeper understanding of how to utilize Pinecone effectively. However, despite its overall positive aspects, there's room for improvement, particularly in making it more minimalistic and simplifying access to various options. Like many SaaS products, setting it up can be time-consuming. It should provide clear instructions or a step-by-step guide for undertaking small projects independently.
Real-time data retrieval is good. However, it used to drop in a while. Overall, it was reliable.
We don't require a lot of maintenance on the project. It's a small-scale project, and the scope is specific and small. There haven't been any issues. Two to Three people are enough for the solution's maintenance.
I recommend the solution and advise you to explore the documentation and tutorials. It's easy to pick up and integrate.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
In my company, we store our industry documents in Pinecone. My company stores the PDF files in Pinecone to use for the RAG application.
The most valuable features of the solution are similarity search and maximal marginal relevance search for retrieval purposes.
The product fails to offer a serverless type of storage capacity. From an improvement perspective, the storage capacity of the tool should not be pod-based.
I have been using Pinecone for years. I am an end user of the solution.
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Around four or five people in my company use the product.
The solution is used on a daily basis in my company.
I don't have any previous experience with any other solutions other than Pinecone.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in a day.
My company is currently evaluating Elasticsearch against Pinecone.
My company has integrated Pinecone into our machine-learning workflow by using LangChain. My company also uses an OCR feature to detect PDF files, which we added to Pinecone.
A chatbot application is the specific AI application for which Pinecone is used in our organization since it provides us with a source of knowledge through RAG.
I am unsure if Pinecone's similar search capabilities have enhanced our data analysis since my company is still in the middle of the tool's production phase.
If I measure Pinecone's impact on our company's system performance and scalability, I would rate it at an eight on a scale of one to ten.
I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
