What do you like best about RethinkDB?

RethinkDB raises the bar: it has a modern query language (i.e., it's very intuitive) and it scales well in enterprise (i.e., massively parallel distributed infrastructure). Also, RethinkDB is a must for realtime apps. A Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RethinkDB?

Adoption isn't very widespread in industry, as in many developers I know tend to play it safe with MySQL. There are simply too many restrictions with which operations can be performed atomically that it can't be adopted for tier one services such as user/org, login, sessions, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RethinkDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

RethinkDB definitely beats out other realtime DBs such as Firebase that are much less flexible. I think RethinkDB would work great for real time features within enterprise. It's much more intuitive than Mongo, so any situation in which I would consider Mongo, RethinkDB would definitely be in the talk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RethinkDB?

I like that RethinkDB is open source, fast and declarative. It has a wonderful built in visualization tooling and works across many different server types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RethinkDB?

It is a new tech and has limited documentation, as well as very few people using it in production environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RethinkDB:

Make sure that Rethink is the right tool for the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RethinkDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was creating simple analytic data streams from web events. As the product is still in development, most of my benefits are from the developer friendly nature of the platform - learning the query language, building tables, updating models are all simple tasks w/ RethinkDB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RethinkDB?

The query language is a brilliant addition and functional style of fetching data works really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RethinkDB?

Unfortunately at the time when I was using RethinkDB support for Windows was still lacking. I believe this is fixed now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RethinkDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

The database works well in both strictly structured and not-so-strictly structured datasets. In case of proper number crunching and analytics this DB is probably not the best option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RethinkDB?

The query language offers a ton of features, including advanced aggregations and transforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RethinkDB?

Since it is new, there are still some features that are immature or missing. One big one is an authentication system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RethinkDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had a need for a fast database that could handle many transactions. I was able to put some things that would normally be the the application layer into the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
