I have been working with the product since 2022.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Since implementing the product, we have experienced stability in our applications.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis. Once they gained expertise, the deployment process became straightforward and was completed within a month and a half. A seven-member team helped with the deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Redis is an open-source product.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the product an eight out of ten.
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.
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.
Top caching tech
What do you like best about the product?
Redis is very very easy to use. We use it in our software to get frequently used data from cache instead of db which saves a lot of time in computation. Plus its pub sub system is also helpful in some areas of our software.
What do you dislike about the product?
No UI to see all its keys and values. One has to be dependent on its command line interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To store frequently used data. Saves up a lot of time while computing.
The open source, in-memory data store
What do you like best about the product?
Is a very fast key/value data store, mainly due to the fact that is a in-memory data store, also possible to persist the data on file system.
It is open source and very well documented.
It is open source and very well documented.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not have a query language.
It consumes a lot of RAM.
It consumes a lot of RAM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If the data fits on a key value pair, store it and retrieve data is very fast, this could be used as cache on top of other applications, or databases.
Fastest caching server for the applications
What do you like best about the product?
Redis cache helps boost any application performance and it's very easy to integrate in different programming languages, I like the way we can store any value against a key and retrieve it quickly as we need. I've used it in the Laravel application for caching the post counts on every view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is a big factor when we need to store a large amount of data and scale the Redis DB to increase the performance, though It's obvious it will be costly as it keeps a lot of data in memory to serve quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every application needs to retrieve some of the data frequently and Redis provides us in-memory database which makes access to the data faster than other Database solutions. so with the help of Redis cache, we can enhance the application performance significantly.
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.
Review on Redis
What do you like best about the product?
Redis is used for caching the data, and communication in microservices using pub and sub-features. It helps in improving application performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of proper documentation, no graphical user interface. It is difficult for beginners to learn
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redis helped in improving web application performance with caching the rest-API responses and sharing the data between microservices using pub and sub-features in redis
In memory distributed caching solution
What do you like best about the product?
- Various data structures are provided
- Lots of use cases like rate limiting or caching are provided out of the box
- Has good durability (AOF and snapshot)
- Easy to use
- Lots of use cases like rate limiting or caching are provided out of the box
- Has good durability (AOF and snapshot)
- Easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
- Cluster management are harder to build and its Enterprise SaaS are expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redis helped us build caching mechanism easily, allowing more RPS to traditional databases.
Redis great as K/V cache.
What do you like best about the product?
reliable and scalable: when working with a cluster (and if you have a proper sharding strategy), your DB can scale to a pretty high number and not die in the middle of any spike. Both the client and the command line tool are easy to use and well-documented.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no GUI for managing the keys and values stored in REDIS. Lack of some basic permission, there should be a way of having a user with restricted commands (i.e: no keys, now write command, etc.).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
REDIS is used as chance storage in our data visualization application where responsive time is key . This in-memory database helped to solve many of the use cases we've had with our product like user-based caching and real-time analytics.
Best for storing sessions.
What do you like best about the product?
I always prefer Redis because it's so convenient and helpful when it comes to storing sessions. Redis stores data in memory so that reading and writing data using Redis is the fastest so the website's performance is enhanced. and the major benefit of using it is that I don't have to write so many lines of code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about Redis, but it was not easy to use I had to debug my code so many times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started using Redis because we wanted our website to work faster our website was working properly but it was working slowly after storing some cookies and sessions so Redis came for the save and after that day I always used Redis for storing any key-value pair type of data.
