My main use case for Aerospike Cloud Managed Service is to keep the key values of my ad serving application where data latency is so critical.A quick, specific example of how Aerospike Cloud Managed Service helps with that day-to-day is that we are working on an ad serving platform where we had a lot of data that needed to be stored, and we have to retrieve it on demand as and when we are publishing or an ad is being clicked. We tried multiple things, but nothing could give us the speed of performance as Aerospike.Our application is very time-critical, and we need to make sure that the application should be able to get the information about the customer from our database as soon as possible. We tried multiple things, but Aerospike was the best to give us the least latency and the best performance.

Ultra‑low latency access has transformed how we deliver time‑critical ads and serves audience data in real time
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features Aerospike Cloud Managed Service offers are mostly high availability and cloud flexibility because regardless of AWS and GCP, we can simply move to, we can configure Aerospike Cloud Managed Service on multi-cloud as well. Performance is the main thing, a very predictive performance, ultra-low latency at a huge scale.Aerospike Cloud Managed Service has impacted my organization positively because earlier, we were struggling to convert these ads within a limited time frame. But with Aerospike Cloud Managed Service, we are able to deliver ads more precisely and faster to the audience. So, it definitely increased the throughput, and our ad performance also increased after moving to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service.
What needs improvement?
One improvement I think Aerospike Cloud Managed Service could make is adding more customizations because we have less control on the underlying infrastructure. Having some more customization options would be helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Aerospike Cloud Managed Service for almost three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Aerospike Cloud Managed Service is definitely stable in my experience.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Aerospike Cloud Managed Service's scalability is highly scalable; being a managed service, we don't have to bother about scalability at all. It was heavily scalable depending upon our requirement.
How are customer service and support?
I would add that their support was also awesome, as we had a dedicated account manager who helped us to fix issues as soon as possible.The customer support for Aerospike Cloud Managed Service is good because they were available 24/7 across the globe.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used a different solution; I think we were mostly in Redis at that time. We had to switch to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service because the latency was not as up to par.
What was our ROI?
I have definitely seen a return on investment because of time saved since earlier, when we were running these ads on other platforms, we definitely had a huge latency which impacted our ad performance. Almost 4x improvement happened when we moved to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that pricing was decently priced, but there were a few things, some costs which are not immediately apparent, is what I remember. Otherwise, it was very clear pricing, and it was worth it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Aerospike Cloud Managed Service, I evaluated other options, such as Redis and Cassandra. Cassandra was out of the box earlier itself because of the maintenance of Cassandra. Redis is something we were sticking with because it was simple to manage and was almost par with what our requirement was, but the latency wasn't up to mark as Aerospike Cloud Managed Service. That's why we moved to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Aerospike Cloud Managed Service is that not all tools will be applicable for everyone. So do your homework properly and see how Aerospike Cloud Managed Service, how your scenario is being handled in multiple platforms. For us, we tried with multiple tools, and Aerospike Cloud Managed Service did give us the least latency. So if you're looking for something which is very critical on latency, Aerospike Cloud Managed Service is the best option to go. I would rate this review a 10.

I really like the support and the product offering by aerospike
Using Aerospike as the main Database to track Trillions of Objects in the packaging Industry
Unbelievably fast database with super replication - started production with it in one day
Additionally, software has the possibility to fully utilize some cloud providers and their services, which is giving this software huge advances..
I loved shadow devices and lastly but very importantly, every time I contacted support it was a great experience.
Additionally, for setup to support 10k I/O per sec, you need around 5 hours - if inexperienced with software.
By far the best solution in the category. Unparalleled.
Super helpful product and people
Aerospike helps in storing data both as cached and database with XDR functionality.
we also like to have an atomicity feature as findAndModify which is present in MongoDB.
- power of both storage and cached at the same time.
