Great realtime database solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2019 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Fast transactions, fast deployment, high reliability **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Partition migration usually takes longer **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Realtime API service ### 9. Blazing Fast, but Read the limitations before using **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Aerospike has everything you would expect from a Key-Value store. Blazing Fast Write and Retrievals, Asynchronous Updates, UDFs, MultiFetches And a Feature Loaded Java API. It performs as fast as In-Memory, when used with SSDs. This can be the go-to Database for all sorts of caching Requirements in your company. What surprised me was that, their update-modes and atomic Commands work like a charm. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** The non configurable Limitations like 14 char limit on Bin Name, totally defeats the purpose of using it for storing multi-bins, or json like data. We had to store the mappings separately, of the actual bin names to a 14 char truncated BinName, and use it at the time of Writing and also Reading. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used it as a product cache, for e-commerce data. Where various attributes of the products were to be stored against their SKUs. We chose it over Redis, for it's ability to store a record as Bins. The feature loaded Java API and blazing fast write-and-retrieval on the Primary Key made it fit for the requirement. ### 10. A SOLID, High-Velocity Key/Value NOSQL Database **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gil A. | Chief Executive Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2017 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Metadata was using a traditional NOSQL database based on open-source technology, but we experienced challenges with scale and speed as our database grew. We selected Aerospike to replace MongoDB due to its the ease of use, simple configuration and high velocity reading and writing. Along with the easy client development and support for async requests, we managed to boost our profiling algorithms and run twice as fast, enabling us to serve more customers in a shorter amount of time with even leaner hardware resources. Switching to Aerospike broadened our capabilities and has helped support our company growth. We recommend Aerospike to any software company looking for a solid key/value database that is scalable, super fast and commercially ready. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** We had no problems / issues installing or integrating Aerospike into our solution and architecture. Their documentation made it easy and we're experiencing no issues scaling it. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Read the documentation, talk to other users- make sure to set the best foot forward with the implementation and you're up for a sweet ride. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our major challenge was to support our exponentially growing database without sacrificing on our platform speed nor purchasing significant more infrastructure. The results were Aerospike were amazing as we were able to more than double our performance while keeping a lean cloud infra. ### 11. Easy to setup and best key value store **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Deepthi M. | Sr.BizOps Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Easy to setup . easy lookups based on keys . Its much faster **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** I dont have anything that i disliked in it. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Definitely Yes! **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Storing and query large data sets ### 12. Aerospike **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Networking | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Aerospike is easily configured. One simple config file (which must be the same across all nodes in the cluster) takes care of it. System recovers well on its own when a node fails. The AMC is a nice GUI with good at-a-glance info about the cluster. The Enterprise version is especially nice because it allows you to query and set parameters without having to use the command line tools. The support is also great, and the logging is fun (messages like "Now there will be cake" when the node is up and ready to ingest info, and "Now there is icing" when XDR is functioning. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Some of the tools aren't very easily interpreted or easy to use. The syntax can be confusing, and at one point there seemed to be a gang of tools that did similar things so it was confusing to know which one to use for what purpose. Another issue I had was when I wanted to see some information about the kind of data we were storing, so I wanted to get a couple of rows so I can see what bins were being used, types, etc. I didn't want to select *everything* in a huge database, but there is no option to limit the output as there is with say, HBase. You have to use an external tool to do that. Also wish there was a way to do something SQL-like in terms of describing a row or set. Lastly, I wish there was a way to have different TTLs for different clusters. For example, if you have a main cluster that you need to retain data in for a longer period of time for compliance, but in a remote cluster you don't need the same requirements, it can cause a waste of resources and become expensive. Since XDR sees shipped logs as client writes, maybe there should be a separate setting for XDR ttls. gmail **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Well worth reading through their documentation. It is thorough (much better than some other products) and contains a lot of little nuggets that will save you time. It pretty much walks you through considering how to scale out your infrastructure, how to set it up once you know what your resource needs are, and how to perform basic maintenance. The troubleshooting section could use some help, but the community forums are also solid. Make sure you take their advice regarding SSDs. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** A database that is faster than HBase, and replicating data to an AWS cluster to allow our web servers there to access the same information. ### 13. Aerospike is easy to maintain **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric J. | Software Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Unlike other NoSql products (... cassandra hint...) Aerospike is very easy to set up and does not have weird, unexpected behavior. UDF's are fairly difficult to write and debug, but if you have a few simple ones they are very valuable. The Java Client for Aerospike is very good. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Indices and scans are fairly rudimentary. Unless your use case is purely a key-value store with a one-to-one mapping, this probably isn't the right database for you. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Serving content to websites with high throughput. ### 14. Aerospike - A high throughput, low latency distributed nosql datastore **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rajasekhar Y. | Director of Data Architecture, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Simplicity of the architecture. Ease of Operations. high concurrency,low latency,high availability achieved with its robust architecture. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Minimal featureset to support growing needs. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** If you are looking for high throughput, low latency ,high concurrency ,nosql distributed database cluster, aerospike fits the criteria and deserves an active test for your usecase. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** high concurrency concerns with webservice calls. ### 15. Performance at scale **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Aeorospike and team delivered on performance requirements and exceeded expectations. Consistently getting 1-2ms latency on 1B requests per day. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Custom hardware required to meet these demands. Some complexity on loads and space management. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Definitely worth it to provide consistent high-throughput read-write capacity and maximize hardware investments. Focused product for meeting these high-demand tasks and worth it when you need it! **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Real-time integration into bid-stream. under 10ms latency requirements including network round-trip. Aerospike allows us to shave critical ms out of our transaction time. ### 16. Aerospike the nosql key-value database on steroids **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arbi A. | Concepteur/Développeur, Telecommunications, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** I've tested Aerospike [1] and other nosql databases when we were looking for a viable alternative to what we had as we were reaching its limit. What I liked in Aerospike is that you can easily confirm the exactitude of the performance claims, which is not the case for most commercial products. Also, in contrast to usual databases, there is no need to define sharding (i.e. how data will be fragmented on the different nodes of the database) or replication parameter (i.e. the number of node on which your data will be replicated so that you don't loose anything in case of node failure). These parameters are essential but as a developer you don't have to care much about them as Aerospike will do. Also, Aerospike gives you the choice between in-memory storage (e.g. to cache user session data) or SSD disk storage (for durability) without any compromise in performance. It has a powerful query language, and enable users to define custom aggregation functions based on the Lua programming language [2] which is very flexible especially when it comes to define business related aggregation algorithms. Above all that, it is an Open Source solution.

In addition, our use case required one big write workload directly from Apache Spark RDDs (Resilient Distributed Dataset) that may consists of billions of rows and hundreds of properties. These use cases were sadly not the appropriate cases where Aerospike can be used as it's a key-value database and not columnar oriented. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** If what you need is a very low-latency access to single data, then you must consider trying Aerospike. If you are on AWS and look for an easily deployable key-value store, then you have to consider Aerospike as it has an officile AMI (Amazon Machine Images) that you can use directly from the marketplace. In contrast, if you're looking for a nosql solution to use as backend for you analytic workloads then Aerospike may not be the appropriate solution, but you can still evaluate it as this may evolve over time. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** We evaluated Aerospike among other nosql solutions for Analytics workload and we found that it didn't fit well with our requirements. But we realized how good it is when it comes to caching volatile data. ### 17. Happy Customer **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** We enjoy the reliability that Aerospike provides. Along with an ease of setup, it makes it a wonderful product. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Not a ton of community support, most problems need Aerospike support to be fixed. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Storing and query large data sets ### 18. PIQ's review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Ease of use, mgmt is easy, and also quick lookups based on keys. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** No direct export or import from hadoop. Have to write a mapreduce job just to load data into aerospike. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast key value lookups needed, where others didn't work. ### 19. Very high performance, low latency, easy scalable storage **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Никита . | Программист, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Aerospike stores index in RAM, so it's really extremely fast. It uses the full power of the SSD devices to provide maximum performance and low latency for both read and writes. Aerospike is not just key-value storage. It provide you rich set of data structures, which allow you to flexible store and query data. Application does need not know where to send the data. Aerospike clients are cluster aware, so they automatically sends data directly to the node with the data. It allow you to easily build even large clusters. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Not all flash devices can handle the high volume of transactions required by Aerospike Database. You need to use devices from the certified list: http://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/plan/ssd/ssd_certification.html It's reasonable, but sometimes could be painful, because you need to benchmark nearly every device before using it in production. Also you need to carefully plan you storage. Aersopike store index in rAM, so double check that your data could fit into RAM. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Just looks to benchmarks. 99% of queries lower that 1ms. If you need low latency storage - Aerospike is a good choice. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Aerospike is a perfect choice, if you need low latency, easy scalable storage. It has good community support, so you always find answers to your questions. It's really important. ### 20. Aerospike is the clear winner in the field of clustered nosql databases serving millions of req/sec **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Imran H. | Software Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** we had a special use key for our business where we needed a nosql clustered database which is highly available and must possess highly concurrent, low latency, transactional, small updates to billions of entries with ~10x more read than write volume. We ran a detailed review, analysis and benchmark of cassandra vs aerospike, these famous ones in that aspect- Aerospike was clearly the winner here. what our management loved most about aerospike was stable predictable performance with low latency and no hassle with maintanence. its so simple and effective to manage keys in aerospike that it actually turned out to be very cost effective and time saving feature of aerospike for our team. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Cost can be a big issue for someone not so quite familiar with working model of aerospike. not saying its something wrong on aerospike end, but users need to be careful deploying their keys . The larger the keyspace of keys deployed with aerospike, the more expensive your Aerospike cluster will be from a hardware point of view because all keys are stored in memory whether its in memory or ssd form . this model is quite different than cassandra , since all keys and values are stored in hard disk. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Aerospkie processes everything in RAM, meaning memory. so its very speedy and fast in processing of which you dont have to worry slightest. with that in memory fast processing, comes price as you grow your database. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** large scale, clustered, highly available, fault tolerant nosql databases are able to process billions of request per second. ### 21. Best Nosql Data Store which provides performance at scale **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adarsh S. | Senior Database Engineer, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Aerospike is well optimized to use SSD performance. The only thing needed is proper capacity planning and your production environment will be pretty stable.We have around 20-30TB data store in Aerospike. Here are below points which is like most about it :- 1. With a peak of 300-400k TPS , 99% of a incoming requests is still finishing in < 1-2ms. I believe it is the fastest Nosql Data store till date. 2. Cluster Setup is very easy. 3. Absolute Zero Maintenance as compared with Cassandra or Hbase 4. Easy to Monitor the cluster health and performance. 5. Enterprise Support is pretty good. 6. Version Upgrades is a very seamless process. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** However, there are many things which are work in progress in Aerospike : 1. Migrations : Migration is an activity that comes into action to balance and redistribute data when a node goes down and leaves the cluster. It can happen due to network issues or system level bugs which results in a service down time on that server. It is an expensive operation as it directly impacts the performance with a spike in latencies. This is further complicated as even latest Aerospike version is not smart enough to understand the difference between a manual service restart and a node going down. 2. Namespace Addition Needs Downtime : Namespace in Aerospike is an equivalent term to database in RDBMS. We have many different applications which are using their respective namespaces in production. Any new namespace addition is not dynamic untill now and it requires a service restart on all nodes in the cluster. 3. Isolation at Namespace Level : For better and stable production environment, we must have better control of all the key metrics that are critical and need special attention. As of now, we can monitor all the TPS at cluster level but we cannot deter- mine how many TPS are happening at namespace level. Also, there is no method by which we can isolate or put constraints at namespace level in terms of number of read/write activiities that can happen at any name- space. We have faced situations in production where TPS spike in one less critical namespace impacts the performance of all other namespaces. 4. IP tracking in Connections : Aerospike provides a security feature in Enterprise Version where we can enable security on our distributed cluster but we cannot track the client hostname or IP from where connection is coming. Having this will help us to narrow down our search to identify hostname which is generating too many connections. 5. XDR Limitations : XDR Replication is a feature available in Enterprise Aero- spike which allows us to replicate from one datacenter to another. But, it is not possible to enable any security while XDR is enabled in the cluster. Also, XDR can not replicate updates at bin level and it replicates the whole record again increasing inefficiency at network level. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Definitely yes. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving one of the biggest problems of mobile advertising industry. Scale of data is directly proportional to the number of smart phone devices across the world. Aerospike is providing us faster performance at a bigger scale to solve the larger problems of one of the fastest growing tech companies in the advertising world. ### 22. Fast, flexible datastore **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stewart H. | Principle Engineer, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** The speed. We replaced a MongoDB with this and pound for pound, it was much faster. We performed a couple month evaluation of this versus a few alternative databases. We ended up picking Cassandra after all was said and done because the support was better at the time. It looks like now though Aerospoke has a pretty solid enterprise support plan. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** I didn't have anything that I disliked overall. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Know the trade-offs that Aerospike or any database vendor has made prior to biting the bullet. We almost pulled the trigger on this one just to find out that there were some pretty significant issues in the waiting. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Well at the time, we were trying to scale up our data ingestion rate while avoiding data loss. This solution was very fast but then this happened during our evaluation: https://aphyr.com/posts/324-jepsen-aerospike I believe that they have since fixed some of the issues noted if not all. Given our criteria though, we were unable to select this store, no matter how fast it was. ### 23. Aerospike performance **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ankur g. | Lead Software Engineer, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** My use case was to support billions hits a day and with response time of 2-3 ms. Nosql was obvious choice but After exploring several databases we zeroed into aerospike becasue it is : -Extremely fast (could support >1 Million TPS on a single node) -Its failover mechanism i.e. Automatic fail-overs -Support large requests of read and write simultaneously. -Horizontally scalable. Server side clustering. Sharded & replicated data. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Not much to dislike but if to mention there few things like: -Maintaining a cluster for early age startup -In case of very large writes we needed to move to large computing machine **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our business problem was as mentioned earlier was to support billion hits with minimal response time. ### 24. Promising, but clients not mature enough **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Frédéric C. | Web Developer, Computer Games, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Aerospike is pretty fast. One of the fastest - and easy to configure- tuple-based db. It has great use cases like caching service or storage for small ugc objects. It scales easily and performs like magic on SSD drives! The methods are generic and you find all the options you look for in a database. There are clients written in almost every popular languages. The support is pretty good, documentation is available and community managers are friendly and helpful. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** The clients - especially the node one- have been half-assed. There is no JS implementation for the node one nor post-install script to get the binaries. Logs were thrown in stdout freely and DB options were not available. It's a real pain for DevOps teams. I've seen a lot of progress though since I sent my recommendations. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Make sure to subscribe to their forums. They have a very active and friendly community. I'm confident that they get solid client implementations by Q2-Q3 2016. I think it's still worth it to simply try it and benchmark it within your application, see the gains you'll be getting. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a caching database or technology, so we decided to try out Aerospike. This was summer of 2015. We did not have time to prepare our DevOps team, start fiddling to add stuff and patching the unwanted stuff out. So we went with a safer bet. During our tests though, we noticed a great increase in request speed. ### 25. Aerospike is the best key-value store of all time. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Moshe R. | Software Developer, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Data can be held on-disk (as well as in-memory) and Aerospike still performs incredibly fast on a single node. This is huge. I can't stress this enough. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** The Go library isn't well documented in some areas (especially errors), and while Aerospike's documentation is great, it still needs some work. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** If you need a really fast key-value store for caching, Aerospike is my recommendation. It's so fast on a single node, you might not need another one. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Caching large data-sets, I prefer not to hold everything in RAM since RAM is expensive. Aerospike lets me hold my large data-sets on SSD and query them amazingly fast. ### 26. Great product, cool features and worth to have a try **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Meng Z. | MTS1, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** easy to use. Not just saying, Aerospike is easy to config and setup. active official forum support support server-side script, like HBase co-processor simple and stable support TTL support durable and non-durable Using hash id as key distributes requests to the whole cluster and the cluster has NO HOT POINT. Adding capacity can simply resolves the throughput problem. Not like redis, Aerospike supports multi core by default. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** the tool is pool, including the web-ui, command line. more powerful administration support cluster size is limited to hundreds. all keys must be loaded to memory **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** fast, scalable, stable, cost saving key-value store is the problem we are facing. we are still working on the poc and evaluation. ### 27. Explored as a candidate to be integrated in a centralized data source access library **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pablo Francisco P. | Scala/BigData Developer, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Having performance in mind I like the fact that despite its written in C it can be seamlessly used from the JVM which promotes its use in Big Data solutions. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** Key-Value databases are note the best fit for aggregation intensive requirements. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Its DDL and query language is quite SQL Like, resembling somehow the one of C*. That makes it easy to adapt applications to use it. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** My experience using is limited to a spike on how to integrate it with the platform I've been working with. And I have used it with its default settings as found in the official docker image. ### 28. Easy to setup, not the best for my usage **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Etienne B. | Self-employed Webdeveloper, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Easy to setup; Easy to scale; Pretty well-documented; Helpful support staff. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** No (easy) way to "auto-increment" any integer value. No security at all on the Community Edition. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Ask yourself this: is my application the only application able to access the servers? If not: am I willing to pay for the Enterprise Edition? If not: Aerospike might not be for you (security-wise). Other than that, Aerospike had nice performance. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** When adding items to the database, which just require any unique identifier, Aerospike is awesome. However, when you need a incrementing number as unique identifier, things start to get tricky. ### 29. Aerospike. Unparallel performance **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ng Z. | Business Solutions, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Performance is as advertised. With Lua, the flexibility becomes limitless. After a while, everything just works alright in the background, and I do not have to bother the guys. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** If it crashes, I don't know how to recover from it. It crashed once, I think I exceeded the max size of a record **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Best out there in terms of cost and performance. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Am offering a messaging plugin. I think no other DB out there in the market can offer the same performance at that storage requirements. ### 30. Aerospike is dope **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** The configuration enables you to choose the performance trade-offs that are acceptable. I was originally exposed to aerospike while working on a sub-second response time system (100 millis max). However, I used it a less-strict setting and it was still performant out of the box in testing (still haven't deployed to production yet). **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** I like the custom query coprocessors, but I don't like how I have to write them in Lua **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Make sure you consider what your final schema will look like. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** Database of user profiles both measured and eventually guessed (statistically) ### 31. One of the best commercial solution for start-ups **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** Aerospike has rich clients in every common programming languages, and it has quite simple and easy to inject programming API. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** The license is expensive. The documents has to be more international and in many more languages. And I need more lecture to understand the principle of aerospike. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** Very much! **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** We store of a lot semi-structed data crawled from websites. We also provided some api service with the help of areospike. **Official Response from Maud Calegari:** > Hi, Thank you for your review!

Aerospike - Optimized for flash **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** It is optimized for flash and has low latency. Most of their customers include Ad-tech and Fin-tech. **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** It is master-slave architecture. The pace of developing new features is very slow. **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have done a POC for an Ad-tech case. The customer had a lot of SSDs and Flash instances and it was the perfect case for Aerospike. ### 33. easy to setup **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Aerospike?** some performance of Aerospike is better than mongodb **What do you dislike about Aerospike?** I like it. documentation is also easy to follow. **Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:** from its documentation, its easy to setup and use **What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?** schemeless, easy to setup and monitor, easy to scale ## Aerospike Discussions - [Why should I consider using Aerospike Enterprise Edition versus the Open Source Aerospike Community Edition?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/benefits-of-aerospike-enterprise-edition) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Aerospike pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/aerospike/reviews?page=2§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-21+02%3A19%3A13+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=de147e36-72ab-401a-8770-7ab6b5cff3b7&secure%5Btoken%5D=4b6b63d99fbdd6580661d0dbacc789287f0617e573a99f8d23c7a9eb35461430&format=llm_user) ## Aerospike Features **Management** - Data dictionary - Data Replication - Query Language - Data Modeling - Performance Analysis **Data Management** - Data Model - Data Types **Data Management** - Data Model - Data Types - Built - In Search - Event Triggers **Data Management** - Data Model - Data Types - Built - In Search - Event Triggers - Query Language **Query latency** - Lower query latency - Continuous queries **Database** - Real-Time Data Collection - Data Distribution - Data Lake **Maintenance** - Data Migration - Backup and Recovery - Multi-User Environment **Availability** - Auto Sharding - Auto Recovery - Data Replication **Availability** - Auto Sharding - Auto Recovery - Data Replication **Availability** - Auto Sharding - Auto Recovery **Data latency** - Lower data latency - Data pipeline performance **Integrations** - Hadoop Integration - Spark Integration **Security** - Data Encryption - User Access Control **Performance ** - Integrated Cache **Performance** - Query Optimization **Performance** - Query Optimization **Connectors** - Faster ingestion - Built-in connectors **Platform** - Machine Scaling - Data Preparation - Spark Integration **Security** - Role-Based Authorization - Authentication - Audit Logs - Encryption **Security** - Role-Based Authorization - Authentication - Audit Logs - Encryption **Security** - Role-Based Authorization - Authentication - Audit Logs - Encryption **Scale** - Linearly scalable database - Storage management **Processing** - Cloud Processing - Workload Processing **Support** - Multi-Model - Operating Systems **Support** - Multi-Model - Operating Systems - BI Connectors **Support** - Multi-Model - BI Connectors - Operating Systems **Architecture** - Data security - Lockless architecture **Building Reports** - Data Transformation - Data Modeling - WYSIWYG Report Design - Integration APIs **Database Features** - Storage - Availability - Stability - Scalability - Security - Data Manipulation - Query Language **Platform** - Mobile User Support - Customization - User, Role, and Access Management - Internationalization - Sandbox / Test Environments - Performance and Reliability - Breadth of Partner Applications ## Top Aerospike Alternatives - [Redis Software](https://www.g2.com/products/redis-software/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (130 reviews) - [Couchbase](https://www.g2.com/products/couchbase/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (143 reviews) - [Amazon DynamoDB](https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-web-services-aws-amazon-dynamodb/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (498 reviews)
