Fast, easy to use, adequately featured

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.

What do you like best about the product?
Unlike the free cache modules, Redis is a well known provider with good reputation. While I have not implemented this cache in real environment, I am confident if it will deliver as promises.
What do you dislike about the product?
Memcache is also good and free. Our team is more familiar to Memcache.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slowness while access database. We combined Varnish and Memcache and solved most of the first byte issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try other cache options, including the free before jumping to Redis so you can see the different.

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

Great in-memory storage and persistance

  • January 08, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What's best to appreciate about Redis is how quickly it's growing since it's first appearance and how useful and fast it is for many parts of a software implementation.

It always seemed to me like a storage option for caching or indexing, but it is way more than that. Some features are definitely to be highlighted like:

* Pub/Sub message system.

* Redis Cluster

* Expires

* Lua scripting

* Blazing fast

Are some of the things I noticed that make a difference when looking for this kind of memory storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not find any problem yet will update the review one I have more information
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Decoupled architecture, Pub sub

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.

Practical tool for caching

  • November 14, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fast performance, easy to use. Has support for basic data types, and more advanced ones such as HyperLogLog for solving count-distinct problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no native wildcard support for deletion operations in Redis command line client.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Caching for web service. Active session tracking/counting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Setup multiple DBs for different general use with different default TTLs.

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily handle things like sessions in a distributed environment without having to spend much time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limitations on some features that come when running a cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from a centralized server to micro services and a distributed high availability setup.

What do you like best about the product?
The performance , robustness , easy to learn and ease to use in production environments .
What do you dislike about the product?
scripting language , i prefer that use javascript for scripting in redis .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are using redis in data caching and socket.io related using .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
support javascript as scripting language and connecting and integrating to another databases as an optional module .

Very quick server DataStore

  • February 11, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redis comes in a very light and fast environment which allowed me to run my test on an old Raspberry Pi without lags due to computation times.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a big lack of documentation both on official website that on online tutorial.
Moreover the event management is quite poor (but under active development).
This, in addition to the weird syntax, caused a little of problems in getting started with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was working on a disaster-management mobile application and Redis was the datastore selected on server to manage the data because of it's impressive speed (which was a requirement in the development context).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a very fast datastore, Redis may be what you are looking for. Please be aware that it is so fast because it saves all (of most) of the storage directly on RAM, therefore it requires a server with a lot of primary memory in order to exploit it's full potential. This may lead to an increment of costs which should be considered.
Redis has a log file on disk with the history of all action performed which is used in case of recovery. By default this log is updated asyncronously at certain time intervals, this means that if a problem occours between two interval, it may lead to a data loss. It is configurable to update on log on each action, but this has to be bechmarked as may reduce performances.

What do you dislike about the product?
I used to dislike the lack of features on Redis, but that was like 2 years ago, it has grown so quickly so fast that it's scary, the community is strongly focus on this product development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pretty much anything that needs to be stored and retrieved fast, like caching is a great use case for Redis. For example to store session information in web applications. Also to store large amounts of incremental and volatile data, since it can be "expired".
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.
