"High Performance, Low Latency Database Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

I like ScyllaDB for its high performance and low latency, even when handling large-scale workloads. The compatibility with Cassandra makes migration and integration easier for us. I also appreciate its efficient resource utilization, allowing us to get better performance with the same hardware, and its strong scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

One area that could be improved is the learning curve for new users as configuring and tuning can be a bit complex at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Database for Big Data Jobs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

It handles big read and write loads without slowing down. The data is divided into shards, so each node takes care of its part. This makes the system fast and stable. The data moves easily between nodes, and the jobs finish faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

There is nothing much to dislike. But it would be nice if ScyllaDB can have full user management and authentication built in. That way, we would not need to use other tools for access control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extreme Performance and Efficiency with ScyllaDB"
5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

What I like best about ScyllaDB is its extreme performance and efficiency. It is designed in C++ and uses a shard-per-core architecture, allowing it to fully utilize modern CPUs and deliver very low latency and high throughput compared to many other NoSQL databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

One drawback of ScyllaDB is that it can be complex to deploy and tune properly, especially for beginners, because it requires careful configuration of hardware resources to achieve its best performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Cost-Efficient for Data Streams"
5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

I use ScyllaDB for educational purposes and I'm impressed with its scalability and cost efficiency. The self-serviced infrastructure is a bonus, and I find the 90% consumption utilization feature very cost-efficient. It's also impressively fast on large data stream real-time analysis. The initial setup was quite easy due to the many available resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

I am generally happy with it. Maybe the time it takes to start the cluster could be faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and Dynamic Data Management with ScyllaDB"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

I find that ScyllaDB manages dynamic and large sets of data very efficiently. Most of the features of ScyllaDB are good, and I'm particularly impressed with how it handles more dynamic data and processing. Additionally, the initial setup of ScyllaDB was good, and the documentation and prerequisites have been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

I don't have any pictures as such. Need to check out any features. And I use more scalability. I'll come to know that. Looking into more features, what's Calabrio DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Engineering, But Needs Improvements Elsewhere"
2.5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

What I like best about ScyllaDB is its "close-to-the-metal" engineering, which utilizes a shard-per-core architecture to eliminate the CPU contention and "stop-the-world" garbage collection pauses common in Java-based databases like Cassandra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

While ScyllaDB is technically superior in performance, it has a smaller ecosystem and less community-contributed documentation compared to the massive Apache Cassandra or MongoDB communities, which can make troubleshooting niche issues more difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
