The support experience is described as responsive and knowledgeable, including help with setup and data modeling; some users find community resources or documentation less helpful for resolving technical questions.

What is the experience like for teams switching to Aerospike from another tool?

Switching to Aerospike has been driven by the need for better performance, reliability, and scalability as existing databases or caches reached their limits. The transition is described as manageable in some cases, though data-model changes and migration planning can take work.

Prior database platforms: MongoDB, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Couchbase, and other NoSQL databases.
Prior caches and managed services: Redis, Memcached, and DynamoDB.
What changed: Users describe faster reads and writes, improved stability at scale, and less operational effort.

What features or capabilities could make Aerospike even more useful?

Aerospike could be more useful with clearer operational visibility and more flexible tools for inspecting and managing data. Users also point to opportunities to make some day-to-day administration and development tasks smoother.

Monitoring and administration: Add more detailed health and usage metrics, including clearer cluster and set-level visibility.
Querying and data inspection: Make it easier to limit query results and inspect records without relying on external tools.
Configuration and operations: Expand the options that can be changed dynamically and simplify common cluster-management tasks.

"Blazing fast key-value store"

4/5

What do you like best about Aerospike?

We've been running a small Aerospike cluster for a couple of months now, and I have to say it's been a real joy. My team is mostly focused on operations, so we're keeping a close eye on performance and stability, and there's very little we can complain about. This thing is stable as they get, all the operations we run on a regular or random basis are very smooth - node upgrades / replacements, version updates, random acts of chaos engineering. Easy to monitor, we use both AMC and Datadog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aerospike?

Ruby client is way behind, some crucial operations are missing, and the code quality leaves a lot to be desired. We're looking for a rewrite using C bindings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:

If you high-throughput key-value store is what you're looking for - go ahead, Aerospike will do a great job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What we were looking for is a simple key-value store with persistence. While we do enjoy working with Redis, we couldn't rely on it for keeping our data safe. With Aerospike we feel very confident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
