Redis Enterprise Reviews

It makes clustering, sharding, backups and more very easy to setup, control and monitor

The prices are a bit too high for small projects, it's ok for an enterprise global solution

Redis Enterprise provide the ability to make our application highly available using their XDCR feature. We setup a multi-data center cluster the replicated in real-time so that we could design our application to actively server from multiple data centers without any additional latency.

It needs a better UI, I would definitely like to be able to exec commands without having to login to the hosts.

It have good CLI which allows easy administration. It provides a great cache management feature which allows data to stay in the memory so it's very fast to fetch the data. Also, they have great customer support. Issues are solved very quickly.

The pricing is higher as compared to other tools. Also, configuring the security scheme is a bit complex process.

If I, as a developer, had the luxury of choosing a database by just a logo or colour palette initially, I would definitely choose a Redis (Redis Enterprise) because one of my favourite colours is scarlet. Surely there are other reasons for liking Redis: intuitiveness, innovative features, flexibility, scalability, ecosystem.

Since I use Redis Enterprise only in experimental applications / demos for prospective apps / labs, no issues so far.

Redis allows you to deploy an extremely fast production-grade clustered in-memory datastore that can be used as a cache layer or for any other fast data access needs. Redis Enterprise provides a managed solution which is deployed on memory-optimized instances for the best performance. Since this is an enterprise solution, the support provided for a given cluster is exemplary.

The cost for a given cluster is much higher than contemporary solutions. Configuring a custom security scheme for a cluster can be quite cumbersome.

My favorite feature is that it has a very flexible and performance oriented structure. It is a cache management application that is already used all over the world and has a large community. In addition, you can easily perform all your operations via the command line.

The product price may be a little cheaper, although I don't see any shortcomings. A useful interface can also be provided.

Redis has many benefits one of them being speed, reliability, and extensibility. Redis as a cache storage optimizes the fetching of data to and from the main storage. I also like the fact that with every Redis version that gets released a number of commands are added which simplifies work.

Redis to me has made my job simpler having not used any other product for a cache storage before am a Happy Redis user.

Redis enterprise gain big confidence in market with their ready solutions build on redis database. these ready solutions and new data structures are helping to build software applications much faster and with great performances

Costing is little high, but if you are getting best solutions with less time to go to market then why not pay?

Very quick to insert and retrieve values. Supports complex types of values. It is Possible to build an architecture with high availability.

The Redis does very well what is proposed to be done, there is nothing that I think is bad about it.

I like the different tier of support offered for redis. In the early days of development the lowest tier is sufficient but as we scale the increase in tier was necessary for the types of support we needed

The cost - but it beats managing it on your own!

- Being a non-SQL database, it does not require any structure. Perfect for unstructured data like key-value pairs.

- Redis is extremely fault tolerant. As soon as we write a record, it gets saved to the disk, without any performance issues.

- Redis is very lightweight. In docker it takes less than 30MB, so it is so easy to run multiple containers in cluster without taking too much power.

- Redis has a very good query API, and they are in their website each operation is clearly mentioned with its time complexity. This gives you a clear picture of performance. We didn't in fact do any performance testing because we trusted their site with all the information.

- Redis has a very strong community around it. We have never found an issue for which a solution didn't exist beforehand.

A cluster in Redis was a little hard to understand and deploy, but this is a one time thing to learn, no worries.

The pros over other solutions and its open source versions include:

1) On the fly scaling
Scale to more/less cores and memory as and when needed.

2) Cluster support
Support for clusters unlike the OSS version where the cap is on 1 core and fixed memory.

3) High availability & automatic failover
Redis enterprise manages the failover internally, so no crashes.

4) Predefined SLAs
A mandatory spec definition required by most enterprise customers

5) Monitoring, alerts, etc all such services are available
Get notifications on configurable events

Well, the pricing may not be very well suited for small companies which are low on budget. Not really a con as the open source version does most of the things except for the cluster support on the technical side of things.

The data remains in memory so it's incredibly fast to fetch data based on keys. The design is fairly simple to use, there is a wide range of data types that can be used. clustering and data distribution is very easy when using Redis.

As its primary advantage is the speed of reading and write, the security features are limited in the DB. As the data resides in RAM for faster access, it could have performance effects if the server system is not well managed. There is still a lack of a proper UI management tool for Redis.

Redis is a very flexible key-value store, allowing a lot of different data types. You can set a TTL for each key, you an have replica stores, you can set up a Pub/Sub, you can persist to disk, and all this in memory, with blazing fast performance and unbeatable reliability.

No database known to men can, to this date, provide consistent transactions, partition tolerance and high availability. Redis is no exception here.

Redis is high performance open source in-memory cache. Redis is my favorite choice to store data into cache. Cache can be used in multiple use cases like session storage, page caching, temporary data caching for faster speed. Redis supports various data types: Lists , Sorted sets , hash tables, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes. Redis provides secure and high availability service.

It is tricky and time taking process to setup redis for production environment if using to process background jobs.

It's fast, reliable, and easy to use. The added support and scalability of Redis Enterprise allows an already easy to use solution to scale to solve any problem.

Redis has some limitations with how it stores its data in order to achieve such great performance. Often times this trade off is well worth it for something that works as fast as Redis.

I liked the simplicity of creating and retrieving keys and the integrations available with different programming languages

The documentation is a bit complex for those who have never had contact with the product, understanding some concepts of how to use the key types takes a while.

Works as both in-memory database and message bus with it publish and subscribe mechanism which is used for IPC(inter process communication)

It will be good if they can provide acknowledgement to publisher once subscriber consumes it..

I use this software to manage all user data in our apps at the company:
Software that works very simply with a real-time update of our user status in the app.
It's very easy to update users' data.

Sometimes information from certain keys can not be cross-referenced.
The filters sometimes do not work at all (or not well).

It is fairly simple to get up and running and extremely cost effective. Beyond those base points, it scales extremely well and performance is great.

The documentation is not very good at all when it comes to the available commands. It is a difficult task to learn how to use Redis from the documentation.

Write data in a quick way
Can be used as an intermediate layer
Durable and zero dataloss

For those who use software for the first time it is challenging

We use redis extensively in our application.The basic factors it stands out from the crowd are
1.Fast
2.Reliable
3.Rich set of data structures
4.Easily scalable

Some better documentation and tutorials they can have.

Redis as probably everyone know - simple and simply works. As it simple it's easy to start using it by new developers. Simply work means that it requires minimum it support.

So no Cons actually. Just like with any solution it's not a Silver bullet. Learn about it and read documentation and use cases. Know when is better to not use it.

We are using Redis for session management and query result caching and the experience this far has been very smooth.

Love to see soe good tools for monotoring the Reds clusters.

Easy to setup and get running
Simple to use by developers and sysadmins alike
Very high performance
High reliability
Master-slave replication
Pub/sub support

Some operations are very complex (e.g. zrevrangebyscore)
