## Aerospike Reviews
  ### 1. Unbelievably fast database with super replication - started production with it in one day

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aleksander K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Aerospike?**

XDR super easy replication is my #1. Super easy to set up, you choose what and where to replicate.

Additionally, software has the possibility to fully utilize some cloud providers and their services, which is giving this software huge advances.. 
I loved shadow devices and lastly but very importantly, every time I contacted support it was a great experience.

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

Honestly, the software is properly built and I haven't founded its downsides yet, As soon as I do, will write a new review.

**Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:**

I used it as great replacement for Memcached, as I needed some good replicated solution, and Aerospike has it all in one software, I one namespace configuration... 
Additionally, for setup to support 10k I/O per sec, you need around 5 hours - if inexperienced with software.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

If you want to be self-dependent, not a slave of any cloud-managed service, you can have a super-fast database for a fair price including maintenance.

  ### 2. NOSQL database that is highly scalable.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shashank S. | Senior Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2021

**What do you like best about Aerospike?**

Metadata used a standard open-source NOSQL database, but we encountered problems with size and velocity, as the company database increased. Due to its simplicity of use, simple setup and a high speed reading and writing, we have chosen Aerospike to replace MongoDB. Together with the simple customer creation and a sync request support, we have been able to increase our outlining algorithms and operate twice as quickly, allowing us to service more customers with even smaller hardware resources in a lower amount. The move to Aerospike has expanded our capabilities and led to the growth of our business. Any tech company searching for a solid database, which remains scalable, super-fast and commercially accessible, should be advised by Aerospike.

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

Our approach and architecture had no issues with installing or incorporating Aerospike. It was made simpler by your documentation, and we had no problems scaling it.

**Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:**

Please read the documents and chat to other people - make sure that your implementation is the correct path forward and that you are on a sweet journey.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our biggest challenge was to help our rising database without compromising pace or buying substantially more infrastructure on our network. The consequences were fantastic, as we doubled our performance while retaining a sleek infra cloud.

  ### 3. Using Aerospike as the main Database to track Trillions of Objects in the packaging Industry

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Package/Freight Delivery | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Aerospike?**

Aerospike removes a big administrative Overhead for big Clusters compared to other Solutions and provides us with many useful out of the Box Features to implement high frequent and high performant functionality for billions of Records. The Aerospike Client Libraries are published Open-Source. That gave us the Chance to make Improvements and add Features we needed ourself.

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

Handling records with a large amount of Data is complicated due to the Record Size Limitations. Queries on many Records can be hard because of the missing ability to limit Query results

**Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:**

Using Aerospike as main Database causes a lot of rethinking of Modeling/Usage. The Aerospike Academy Courses offer a great way to look into the insights and help to learn to use the Database the right way.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Aerospike is used as the Core Database of our Infrastructure used to track a huge Amount of Retail and Packaging Information of large Companies around the World. It's high scaling ability and easy administration helped us to build an Database Infrastructure able to track nearly trillions of Records in real time with a minimal maintenance effort and low cost overhead. The Aerospike Connect Exportes allow us to build a realtime aggregation Platform and Machine Learning without any changes to our existing Code.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2020

**What do you like best about Aerospike?**

We've been running a small Aerospike cluster for a couple of months now, and I have to say it's been a real joy.

My team is mostly focused on operations, so we're keeping a close eye on performance and stability, and there's very little we can complain about. This thing is stable as they get, all the operations we run on a regular or random basis are very smooth - node upgrades / replacements, version updates, random acts of chaos engineering.

Easy to monitor, we use both AMC and Datadog.

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

Ruby client is way behind, some crucial operations are missing, and the code quality leaves a lot to be desired. We're looking for a rewrite using C bindings.

**Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:**

If you high-throughput key-value store is what you're looking for - go ahead, Aerospike will do a  great job.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

What we were looking for is a simple key-value store with persistence. While we do enjoy working with Redis, we couldn't rely on it for keeping our data safe. With Aerospike we feel very confident.

  ### 21. Fast and high performance Caching and No-sql Database

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

Migration time become high after restart when the data is big on a node.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using Aerospike as NoSQL and alternate of caching tools like redis to fetch fast result those are needed by application very frequent so that load over DB can be minimize. We are using Aeroslike with our multiple micro services with both small and big dataset.

**Reviewed by:** Carl J. | Director of Engineering (DevOps / Site Reliability Engineering), Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2016

**What do you like best about Aerospike?**

Aerospike's performance is by far its best feature. It is the biggest reason to use the technology, though the clustering aspects also are quite stable and simple to manage.

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

Documentation on aerospike site is generally good but occasionally there are articles which are obsoleted with newer versions, but do not denote that. This can lead to assumptions being made at a point in time only to later realize the info is out of date. The changes in eviction algorithm is a specific example of this.

**Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:**

Make sure to see what Aerospike can do on physical hardware. That's where performance shines. The performance advantages or economics may not translate as well to the cloud.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We require low-latency access to huge volumes of data. Hardware needs to be able to fail or be taken down for maintenance or software updates. Aerospike gives us both of these aspects.

  ### 28. Aerospike scale is amazing and affordable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Aerospike?**

Aerospike the database is fast, very fast... and Aerospike the company has been great to deal with, their support team is knowledgable and the development team has been improving the product rapidly.

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

At least initially, Aerospike felt like a drag-car... very fast, but also very limited. In our particularly use-case the trade off was fine, but there was a number of caveats that we needed to be careful of. Over the 3 or 4 years that we have worked with the team at Aerospike, a number of those limitations have been removed or expanded to a point where they are not problematic any more.

**Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:**

If you need blazing speed, Aerospike is for you.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our business relies on fast storage of a large number of records to be able to provide our customers with the response they need in a timely fashion... and in our business, a timely fashion is measured in 10s of ms.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven C. | Manager, Cloud Data, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Aerospike?**

Aerospike has been one of the most well-behaved technology stacks we use; the amount of thought I give it is actually quite small because it just doesn't break.

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

The first time I logged onto an Aerospike node, I was convinced the filesystem had failed. I had yet to learn that the tech uses its drive as a block device rather than a filesystem. It'd be really nice if there was some obvious thing that showed up when you shell onto such a node announcing, loudly, that you shouldn't expect to find the database's data in a file.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Aerospike makes my developers happy. ;) Giving us a fast, reliable datastore has been great.

  ### 35. High performance, low-latency key value store at low TCO

**What do you dislike about Aerospike?**

Some configurations such as adding xdr stanzas require a rolling restart.

**What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were looking for a scalable key value store for storing our growing user profiles.  Previously we used Memcache, however, there were operational costs of scaling up the cluster.  We benchmarked Aerospike against a few other databases and Aerospike came out on top.
