Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros

"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution.""The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast.""The online interface is very fast and easy to use.""The best thing about Redis is its ability to handle large amounts of data without frequently hitting the database. You can store data in temporary memory, especially for high-volume data.""The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward.""The product offers fast access to my database.""The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable.""It makes operations more efficient.

Cons
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly.""Milvus could make it simpler. Simplifying the requirements and making it more accessible. It could be more user-friendly.""Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation.""I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."

More Milvus Cons →

"It's actually quite expensive.""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.""The tool should improve by increasing its size limits and handling dynamic data better. We use the client ID or associate it with a key for static content. The solution will not be easy for a beginner. Unless you understand SQL data, it will be difficult to understand and use Redis. It also needs to be user-friendly.""There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution.""The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis.""I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources.""If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot.""The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
