"A Consultant’s Perspective on Usability, Features, and Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

As a software consultant, I find ScyllaDB to be a high-performance, distributed NoSQL database that excels in scalability and low-latency operations. Its compatibility with Cassandra makes migration and integration straightforward, and many users report that it is easier to administer than Cassandra, with less tuning required . While initial setup can be more complex than some relational databases, ScyllaDB’s architecture allows for efficient use of modern hardware and offers robust features such as built-in caching, encryption, and monitoring tools . Integration with existing systems is generally smooth, and the database is frequently used in production by major enterprises for data-intensive workloads . Customer support is strong, especially for enterprise clients, and the active community and regular updates ensure ongoing improvements. However, documentation and some advanced features could be more comprehensive, and secondary indexes may impact write performance . Overall, ScyllaDB is a powerful choice for organizations needing speed, scalability, and reliable support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

While ScyllaDB offers impressive performance and scalability, there are several areas where it falls short for my use cases. The initial setup and configuration can be quite complex compared to more traditional databases like PostgreSQL, often requiring careful resource planning and tuning. Debugging and analyzing issues can also be challenging due to the system’s complexity, and maintenance efforts tend to be higher than expected. I’ve found the documentation lacking in some areas, which makes troubleshooting and advanced configuration more difficult. Additionally, ScyllaDB’s support for transactions is limited, and features like secondary indexes and multi-key transactions are either not fully supported or have notable limitations. The community around ScyllaDB is relatively small, which means finding help or shared experiences outside of official channels can be difficult. These factors combined can make ScyllaDB a less approachable choice for teams without deep NoSQL expertise or those looking for a more mature ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We now use this in production"
5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

I used to use Postgres as my go-to database. When I started using Scylla, its SQL-like syntax made it super easy for me to get used to it. Not only is it easier to get used to, but it's also lightning fast. Plus, Cassandra compatibility! I don't think I can ever go back to using Postgres again after experiencing this (unless it's part of the project requirement). Now, Scylla is my go-to database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

I'd be nitpicking here, but there are times when I just want to fetch something without using all partition keys or to update a field that happens to be a clustering key. Not as part of my project or test (that would be silly), but just for some random reason. Of course, that doesn't work the way it does with SQL. That's something I miss. But I really can't blame Scylla for this, I could have used any NoSQL database and the same would have been true. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Scalable NoSQL Database with Modern Features"
5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

It’s really fast and handles a lot of data without slowing down. I like that it’s easy to scale and doesn’t need as much tuning as Cassandra. The global secondary indexes and other modern features are also very helpful. I like the sessions as well, very interactive + gives hands on experience. Customer support also gives timely response. Additionally, it was easy to integrate, my company Samespace uses it, overall its very handy and is frequently used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

Some features are still a bit limited, and using secondary indexes can slow down writes. Also, the setup and docs can be a little hard to follow if you're new, but university was a great way to get myself started Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
