The Best Distributed Caching Solution

  • January 14, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redis can be accessed with many programming languages. Easy to work with. Documentation is very clear. Redis is also very fast since it uses key value mechanism.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would have been better to have more complex queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a cron job that I prepopulate data and put it in the queue. Users fetch records from the RAM one by one

Perfect Documentation

  • January 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use the Redis API in my python web-stack and it is one of the slickest things I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The application that I maintain, deepquill.com, needs to serve a high volume of requests while doing continuous cloud-resource tracking/management and it all has to happen asynchronously, so naturally I turned to Redis for a high speed caching solution. At the time I knew only Postgres and Redis works very differently, so I was new to the whole system. The solution I needed to implement with this database wasn't exactly trivial either, so I was prepared to spend a good amount of time slogging through source code to learn what I needed to alter to get this module to work how I wanted it to. -- To this day I have not seen a single line of it's source code -- It's all there in the documentation, written in plain English with examples and use-cases galore! Even if there were a faster and more reliable caching solution on the market (which there isn't) , I would honestly still pick Redis if only for it's thorough and accessible documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I could identify with this solution is that it is not really meant to store data in a persistent form. At least not by default. Redis does everything in volatile memory (which is why it can be so fast) , and while it is easy to set it up to write your data to disk from time to time (it's maybe 3 lines of code tops), it can potentially be confusing to people who come from a more traditional database and expect their data to still be there after a power cycle. The only people who would really suffer from this misunderstanding are those didn't read the manual though, so don't be one of those and you'll be fine. Just be warned: if you want Redis to record your data in a persistent form, you have to explicitly tell it to do that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to keep track of user activity, resource utilization, message caching, and the status of many containers on many AWS EC2 instances with high time-resolution, and manipulate all of this data in such a way as to make it easy to tell when to do what with which resource (margins are slim so we want to be as efficient possible) Redis handles ALL of this for us and deals with asynchronous operations in a most sane and predictable way. Redis also lets us encrypt all of our data moving between layers, which is pretty badass in my opinion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are trying to control a secured Redis server using a shell script you want to use a "-a" flag followed by the password. This was the only thing I've found that wasn't explained in the documentation. But now you know!

Faster and Reliable Yet OpenSource

  • January 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redis is one of my favorite databases. We have used Redis with NodeJS and Python. Due to its highly available nature, we used it in several areas like authentication & authorization, frequent HTTP response data caching, session management. We experienced that read/writes to Redis very faster, highly scalable, and reliable. Thanks to Redis Team to make it opensource so that we can use it freely.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be really great if we can store key-file in Redis like we store key-value now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Caching, Active Sessions, Web Authentications

Excellent solution for distributes cache

  • April 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redis is extremely stable and comes with a powerful community support, learning curve is easy .
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such, working fine for our use cases and solving all infra problems,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Redis cluster to be used as a distributed cache solution and managing GBs of data with a minimal set of nodes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Redis provides a one stop solution for Enterprise applications, one must use it for distributed cache solution.

What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to install redis, i used it in ubuntu server. The steps where very easy for installation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was stucked with creating another instance on redis , the official documentation was not providing the information i needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it with dot net core and ubuntu server for storing the data on redis, it stores the value in key value pair.

What do you like best about the product?
Great feature-set, and not bloated. Libraries for major languages.
What do you dislike about the product?
I normally depend on 3rd party hosted solutions to reliably serve a Redis cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High frequency key-value database. Perfect for creating a message queue from, with features that support atomic transactions.

Review for redis

  • January 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redis is a open source ,Scalability ,Pub sub models,Luascript,key expire,key space notifications,Memory optimization,distributing of data among multiple redis instances
Memory optimization,key expires,creating secondary indexes with redis,Pipelining concepts in redis, No lack on tutorial for a lot of use cases, storing temporarily data
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to store high amount of data ,We should not able to observe logs(prints) while return code in luascript that return single time only so that we are difficult to find out errors,Insert into a LIST is O(1) complexity
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While doing project mongo db unable to handle parallel requests so that we go with redis.Redis having low latency time so better to go with redis database.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would like to recommend the redis database for data replication and can save data on disk and it is very fast.Debugging Lua scripts is very easy,We can optimize the memory usage.
If considering using Redis for a project, just try it, it's easy to use and feature-rich. The community is really active and there's no lack on tutorial for a lot of use cases

Perfect in-memory data structure storage with persistence

  • November 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Redis database is really easy to install and also easy to use. Configuration also fits into a single file.
Performances are very good and this tool allows you to scale your applications with ease.

The interesting thing with Redis when you develop web applications for instance is that you can use it for many purposes such as caching files, storing temporarily data, queueing, pub/sub system, and so many things.

Redis also allows you to choose fine-grained memory types to optimize your data storage.

One last thing, but not least, you can also write some custom Redis modules using the C language. This way, you can go further with your data storage and trigger Redis functions programmatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, nothing. This is a very good product at all levels.
The thing I can criticize is the security part: I actually have a token stored in the configuration file (clearly); which is not the best way to protect data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redis for managing tokens that automatically expire after a defined time (3 days for instance) and also in order to manage application cache with keys.

I know that a new feature is also available now: Redis Stream in order to manage consumers for reactive applications but I haven't tested it yet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really recommend Redis for its simplicity and its robustness.
