Offers good stability and information processing is very fast
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology.
What needs improvement?
The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier. But no one provided a GUI, or maybe we didn't request it. I'm not sure. We just make use of it.
For how long have I used the solution?
My experience with this product has been very good.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's been very stable. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
What was our ROI?
We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster. So there are some details we get, like customer contract details, customer details, customer ID, there are so many details for that. So we get it from Redis, which makes it faster.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it an eight out of ten.
I would recommend to explore this product as it's gonna make the work easy.

A simple, powerful, and fast solution that can be used as a main database
What is our primary use case?
Sometimes, Redis is used as a cache and sometimes as the main database.
What is most valuable?
Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Redis for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Redis a seven or eight out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In our team, around 20 to 25 engineers are using the solution.
I rate Redis a nine or ten out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support team was quite knowledgeable and fast.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used other solutions like DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, and Postgres for different use cases. We switched to Redis because maintaining the cluster for Elasticsearch was very complex and a lot of work. Also, the other solutions were very, very expensive.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is easy.
What about the implementation team?
Since we're using the AWS self-managed version, Redis can be deployed very fast if you go through the console. If you do an infrastructure, its setup will take longer. But if you just want to play with it and set it up quickly, it can be done in 10 to 15 minutes or less.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution's pricing is good compared to other databases doing the same thing. It might be cheaper to use Redis in some cases and not in others. Redis is not an overpriced solution.
What other advice do I have?
Redis is deployed on-cloud in our organization.
When it started, Redis had a very simple structure, but now it has a lot of powerful data structures. Users should investigate because they can use other things for their data structure. Redis has more new use cases. Users must consider that Redis is single-threaded, which might take a toll on them when they write to Redis. This might be an issue if you need very high throughput with writes.
Overall, I rate Redis a nine out of ten.
For advance use cases, you better go with 100% supported-features Redis providers
What do you like best about the product?
Easy integration, great support, easy to use and built in basic ui monitoring
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not really redis. They have different features. For example: No support for redis cluster which is a big problem and their alternative is not supported by redis clients in Nodejs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Same as any other redis cloud provider.
A scalable solution with a very fast and easy-to-use online interface
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for saving user sessions and user data for different applications.
What is most valuable?
The online interface is very fast and easy to use.
What needs improvement?
There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution.
The product should create awareness about its scalability.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is very scalable.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment could take one to two weeks.
What other advice do I have?
People using the solution should be aware of all the features of the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Good tool for in-memory data structure store
What do you like best about the product?
We can cache the data using Redis Enterprise. We recently planned to rebuild our platform and opted for using this tool for data caching so that the dependency on the MySQL database would be reduced, resulting in fewer server spikes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is not that helpful if we are stuck. So, this service should be improve

A best choice for caching data.
What do you like best about the product?
Below things are pretty notable in redis enterprise.
- High performance
- Low latency.
- Lua scripting - Allows me to perform complex operations!
- Scalability
- Redis Enterprise offers advanced performance optimization

What do you dislike about the product?
It has limited community support. Nothing else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have an application with heavy data - redis allows me to do caching - which adds value to my application by faster results.
Best in class integration experience
What do you like best about the product?
Having used a self-hosted Redis server in a different role. We had to invest a significant amount of time and resources in maintaining those clusters, making sure they are running and performing all the time. With Redis Enterprise, we really like the Redis-as-a-Service offering. The services integrate with existing code very smoothly. It saves a lot of resources given that most of the heavy lifting is done by Redis itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have been in love with this product. For a small team like ours, we don't have the bandwidth to pick more and more things to maintain. Although the pros overweighs the cons. But one thing we don't like is, it is expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small team with only 3 members. We don't generally have the bandwidth to take up more work. With Redis Enterprise and Redis-as-a-Service, we don't have to manage and maintain clusters. This saves us a lot of work. Redis Key-Value store is very reliable and fast. The feature at Redis helps with data backup with checkpoints so we don't lose data. Integration is very simple and quick.
So far so good
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we don`t need to take care about the infrastracture. Automatic clustering and failover is a nice feature.
Also we like the out of a box integration with Kafka.
Also we like the out of a box integration with Kafka.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it`s harder for developers and devops to support redis enterprise due to learning curve, as open-source redis has less functionality.
Maybe it would be nice to have more than 3 cloud providers, like DigitalOcean.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a high availability in our business, so this is where RE helps us.
Also it`s easy to recover data in case smth went in a wrong diredtion. As I know we use snapshots a lot.
Redis is popular itself, so it`s not a problem to find the right human resources to support and manage it.

Worlds best caching service provider with higher performance & scalability
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way it scales and handles the concurrent request loads, This makes our application so fast and it's a must-have tech stack for all applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very expensive when we need to handle large data sets in the cache.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Higher throughput is a need for every application and Redis solves that efficiently, We use it to store the data in the cache that we need frequently in our application.
