Unbelievably Fast, Low maintenance and exceeded our expectations
What do you like best about the product?
speed, performance and reliability at scale that's much needed for our domain.
What do you dislike about the product?
doesn't have many tools around operations that're standardized
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Low latency data store with high throughput and performance at scale
High performance, low-latency key value store at low TCO
What do you like best about the product?
Aerospike has been one of the most reliable systems running in our infrastructure. It delivers sub-millisecond queries, scales easily without downtime and runs with minimal support costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some configurations such as adding xdr stanzas require a rolling restart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a scalable key value store for storing our growing user profiles. Previously we used Memcache, however, there were operational costs of scaling up the cluster. We benchmarked Aerospike against a few other databases and Aerospike came out on top.
Aerospike
What do you like best about the product?
Fast nosql database, scale easily. Support is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it hard to manage data storage, specifically had issues finding data size of specific sets. Wished there were better, easier tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Caching speed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's fast.
Aerospike just works !!!
What do you like best about the product?
Aerospike provides what it promises. The best thing it's easy to use - just setup your cluster and go on. Good thing is even versions are released quite often its rare thing they contain some thing breaking bugs
What do you dislike about the product?
Secondary indexes works poorly - had to design solutions in away not to use them as they stop operating in case servers are leaving/joining cluster
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scallability - it allowed to scale our solutions.
Great Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Performance and reliability at scale is unmatched.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about Aerospike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Aerospike for fast read write low latency transactions and high availability. TOC using Aerospike has decreased with the need for less management.
Fast and scalability
What do you like best about the product?
With the XDR feature, you can replicate your data to a different zone.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not that I can think of. right now. Maybe the upgrade needs much planning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data replication from different zones (aws, google cloude)
A SOLID, High-Velocity Key/Value NOSQL Database
What do you like best about the product?
Metadata was using a traditional NOSQL database based on open-source technology, but we experienced challenges with scale and speed as our database grew.
We selected Aerospike to replace MongoDB due to its the ease of use, simple configuration and high velocity reading and writing.
Along with the easy client development and support for async requests, we managed to boost our profiling algorithms and run twice as fast, enabling us to serve more customers in a shorter amount of time with even leaner hardware resources.
Switching to Aerospike broadened our capabilities and has helped support our company growth. We recommend Aerospike to any software company looking for a solid key/value database that is scalable, super fast and commercially ready.

What do you dislike about the product?
We had no problems / issues installing or integrating Aerospike into our solution and architecture. Their documentation made it easy and we're experiencing no issues scaling it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our major challenge was to support our exponentially growing database without sacrificing on our platform speed nor purchasing significant more infrastructure. The results were Aerospike were amazing as we were able to more than double our performance while keeping a lean cloud infra.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation, talk to other users- make sure to set the best foot forward with the implementation and you're up for a sweet ride.
Aerospike
What do you like best about the product?
Aerospike is easily configured. One simple config file (which must be the same across all nodes in the cluster) takes care of it. System recovers well on its own when a node fails. The AMC is a nice GUI with good at-a-glance info about the cluster. The Enterprise version is especially nice because it allows you to query and set parameters without having to use the command line tools. The support is also great, and the logging is fun (messages like "Now there will be cake" when the node is up and ready to ingest info, and "Now there is icing" when XDR is functioning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the tools aren't very easily interpreted or easy to use. The syntax can be confusing, and at one point there seemed to be a gang of tools that did similar things so it was confusing to know which one to use for what purpose.
Another issue I had was when I wanted to see some information about the kind of data we were storing, so I wanted to get a couple of rows so I can see what bins were being used, types, etc. I didn't want to select *everything* in a huge database, but there is no option to limit the output as there is with say, HBase. You have to use an external tool to do that. Also wish there was a way to do something SQL-like in terms of describing a row or set.
Lastly, I wish there was a way to have different TTLs for different clusters. For example, if you have a main cluster that you need to retain data in for a longer period of time for compliance, but in a remote cluster you don't need the same requirements, it can cause a waste of resources and become expensive. Since XDR sees shipped logs as client writes, maybe there should be a separate setting for XDR ttls. gmail

A database that is faster than HBase, and replicating data to an AWS cluster to allow our web servers there to access the same information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well worth reading through their documentation. It is thorough (much better than some other products) and contains a lot of little nuggets that will save you time. It pretty much walks you through considering how to scale out your infrastructure, how to set it up once you know what your resource needs are, and how to perform basic maintenance. The troubleshooting section could use some help, but the community forums are also solid. Make sure you take their advice regarding SSDs.
