"Fastest caching server for the applications"
What do you like best about Redis Software?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Redis great as K/V cache."
What do you like best about Redis Software?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

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.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Redis Software?

It has too many options regarding its starting kit for a new person to learn it, there are not many documentations available on it for internet, it would do some good if there could be some extensive documentation for its all basic features as well as advanced features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best In-Memory Database for Cache"
What do you like best about Redis Software?

Speed !!, as Redis is an in-memory DB, it is very fast, which is its USP. It is very simple to use, just need to insert data in a key-value format, and it will work. Redis can also be used primary database but I have used it as caching only. the key-value read operation is very fast probably in a few milliseconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

very few apps where you don't dislike anything, Redis is one of them, I am using Redis for the last 2 years, yet found nothing to dislike. In the case of a large value, it may take a few extra milliseconds to process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In redis command line when we start writing any command it will not give any suggestions or automatically fill the command like other cli tools we can use tab button it will automatically fill the remaining command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in-memory database experience"
What do you like best about Redis Software?

The speed and simplicity are amazing.

Easy to understand and implement.

Stores data in memory, therefore, can perform a huge number of read and write operations per second. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

If the system abruptly restarts, data is lost.

If we enable real-time data backup to disk in order to avoid the above issue, resource utilization skyrockets.

Also, logging makes things run slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
