ScyllaDB solves high-performance, low-latency database challenges, benefiting with faster data access and scalability.
Till date , highest performing Nosql DB.
What do you like best about the product?
The best part was the performance and scalability. In ScyllaDB each node is isolated which provided realy commendable performance with ease of use. Its multiple shards functionality made it unique compared to the ones which we were using. Once the community is build I think this can go places.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation is less and community support is also low making it difficult to adopt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of our services are using Nosql databases.Our go to was MongoDB but with our latest service we tried this and it is performing well till now. We are planing to replace mongdb with scyllaDB in other services as well.

Performance and Scalability in NoSQL Databases
What do you like best about the product?
With low latency and great throughput, ScyllaDB is renowned for its excellent performance. It is capable of effectively managing several concurrent requests and massive volumes of data.You may easily add more nodes to your cluster without experiencing major downtime or reconfiguration because to its easy horizontal scaling. It is hence appropriate for expanding applications. ScyllaDB and Apache Cassandra can coexist, allowing you to migrate your data with no difficulty using the same client drivers and tools. To provide optimal performance and an even load distribution among nodes, the database automatically shards data.
What do you dislike about the product?
In order to attain its high performance, ScyllaDB can be rather resource-intensive, requiring a large amount of CPU and RAM. When compared to certain alternative NoSQL systems, this may result in increased infrastructure expenses. ScyllaDB has good performance, but careful configuration and tuning may be necessary to get the best results. This can be difficult and time-consuming.There may occasionally be latency spikes due to a variety of factors, including heavy write workloads or node failures. Even though they are uncommon, these can affect applications that need a constant low latency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB is perfect for applications that need to process data in real-time and respond quickly because of its design to provide both high throughput and low latency. Users gain from this since it makes it possible for them to effectively manage massive data volumes and several concurrent requests, guaranteeing a seamless user experience. ScyllaDB easily expands horizontally, enabling customers to grow their cluster by adding more nodes without requiring a lot of reconfiguration or downtime. Users gain from this since it smoothly handles increasing data quantities and user demands without sacrificing speed. ScyllaDB is compatible with Cassandra, allowing users to take advantage of the client drivers, tools, and knowledge already in place. Users gain from this since it facilitates a seamless transfer and lowers the learning curve for teams that are already acquainted with Cassandra.

For contemporary data management requirements, ScyllaDB is a strong and dependable option because of its user-friendly interface and extensive monitoring features, which further improve the whole experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup and configuration complexity of ScyllaDB, which can be difficult for novices, is what I find objectionable. Furthermore, the documentation, while extensive, sometimes lacks clarity for advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB addresses scalability and high-latency problems in data management. We gain from its enhanced performance and economical use of resources, which allow for real-time analytics and the smooth management of heavy workloads.
ScyllaDB: High-Performance NoSQL Database for Real-Time Applications
What do you like best about the product?
It’s highly scalable and that muti shards and caching functionality makes it the best db also it solves our latency issue
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s not that easy to learn due to lack of learning or documentation but its features are what we needed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB addresses several critical issues in database management:
Scalability
Compatibility Issues
Scalability
Compatibility Issues
Immediate CDC available, safer but some lag with the documentation
What is our primary use case?
We used ScyllaDB as an alternative to MongoDB. Our company's MongoDB servers experienced malicious attacks, so we migrated to ScyllaDB.
We read from MongoDB and wrote everything to ScyllaDB because it's considered safer than MongoDB.
What is most valuable?
There are two that I like most. Firstly, if I update something, it's most likely to finish within milliseconds. Anything can be updated without writing too much code. Secondly, I like CDC.
What needs improvement?
When it comes to the performance, it's not as good compared to MongoDB or Postgres. However, performance is not a big issue in ScyllaDB. If you have a very large scale of data, it takes at least five milliseconds more time to execute the query compared to MongoDB or Postgres. This is the little drawback in ScyllaDB. But on the safer side for CDC, read and write, and all things are good in ScyllaDB.
There are some extra packages we can apply on ScyllaDB separately. We can add some extra layers on top of ScyllaDB to improve the performance. So, it can improve throughput, latency, scalability, and performance.
The documentation is not well established for new developers. If a developer is starting their career, it's not ready to use. MongoDB and other things are very scalable and everything is documented. But here, everything is not documented. You have to go to the GitHub repo, Stack Overflow, or Google things.
The documentation is not well maintained. But if a developer is experienced, like two or three years in MongoDB, they can make the wrapper cluster and use ScyllaDB easily. If anyone is pressured, it takes some time to adjust to ScyllaDB because the scalability and performance on the internet are not well improved, and the documentation is not well written or maintained.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used it at my previous organization.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
How are customer service and support?
Initially, about two years ago, they would support us by responding within 24 hours if we posted any problems on the data repo. We could also debug ourselves and search on Google to fix issues.
There also support on the GitHub repo. You can post anything and get responses.
If you post one problem, they can find similar problems and give you answers to those as well. For example, if you ask about latency, they can give you information about throughput, scale, performance, and areas you can improve. So if you ask about one question, they can give you the answer to that question and similar questions as well. That is one of the best things.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
If your wrapper class is written in a well-structured and managed way, there is no problem. But if you have a connection issue between your local machine and the server with ScyllaDB, there could be problems in deployment.
In MongoDB, if there's an error, we can still deploy easily on the server, but ScyllaDB might break down during deployment. So make sure all errors and things are well maintained and handled in ScyllaDB when we deploy.
When it comes to the configurations, ScyllaDB configurations can take overhead compared to MongoDB. But in terms of freshness, all these things are good.
There can be challenges while integrating it into the existing infrastructure. If you are working on MongoDB and completely want to switch from MongoDB to ScyllaDB, you have to make a similar clone of the ScyllaDB instruction. Everything can be read from your existing database. Then, implementing the plus of ScyllaDB, you have to write everything into ScyllaDB instead of the existing database. If you are completely migrating, you can redirect from the existing database to ScyllaDB. But make sure the connection between the server and the local system can be established, and the TCP protocol is working.
What was our ROI?
It is worth it. It is a performance optimizer and is safer. There are no malicious attacks on your server, and it is safer with immediate CDC available. For other things, you have to write logs separately, but ScyllaDB has logs available in RediView itself. So you only have to enable them, and you can both with the implemented logs. So there are two or three things better than MongoDB.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
MongoDB pricing and ScyllaDB are similar. It is worth it.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten because there is some lag with the documentation and with existing databases. If you have no experience with Node developers, it might not be suitable for working with ScyllaDB. You have to have a good knowledge of ORM before using ScyllaDB. If you don't have experience with MongoDB or ORM, you cannot go with ScyllaDB directly. You have to take some time and face many challenges. So I will go with seven. Initially, it took some time, and I faced many challenges when I integrated it. But after some time, it was okay.
I would recommend people to go with ScyllaDB because of its performance and latency compared to MongoDB. Also, the logs are better, and malicious activity can happen in MongoDB but not in ScyllaDB. If you want to protect your database in MongoDB, you have to pay extra money, but you don't have to pay extra in ScyllaDB. So there are two or three things better in ScyllaDB compared to MongoDB.
Database worth having in your infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
It handle workloads very comfortably with optimum utilization of hardware. It provides low latency operations, both read and write. Team is very much confident with the level of support this DB provides us for both usability and reliability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it does provide a lot of benefits to us, the pricing could be bit on the lower side. Also the documentation needs some improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to leverage the benefits of this DB for our internal tool that is helpful in scaling and managing multiple servers with it's low latency. APIs are easy to integrate with other NoSQL databases.
