What customer support options does Aerospike provide, and how do users find the overall support experience?

Aerospike provides support through email/help desk, phone, and chat, with 24/7 live-rep support. 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.

Storing user's data on aerospike.

"Aerospike scale is amazing and great support"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Aerospike?

Aerospike's performance is by far its best feature. It is the biggest reason to use the technology, though the clustering aspects also are quite stable and simple to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aerospike?

Documentation on aerospike site is generally good but occasionally there are articles which are obsoleted with newer versions, but do not denote that. This can lead to assumptions being made at a point in time only to later realize the info is out of date. The changes in eviction algorithm is a specific example of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:

Make sure to see what Aerospike can do on physical hardware. That's where performance shines. The performance advantages or economics may not translate as well to the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We require low-latency access to huge volumes of data. Hardware needs to be able to fail or be taken down for maintenance or software updates. Aerospike gives us both of these aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not just 10x in the marketing material"

5/5

What do you like best about Aerospike?

Aerospike the database is fast, very fast... and Aerospike the company has been great to deal with, their support team is knowledgeable and the development team has been improving the product rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aerospike?

At least initially, Aerospike felt like a drag-car... very fast, but also very limited. In our particular use-case the trade off was fine, but there was a number of caveats that we needed to be careful of. Over the 3 or 4 years that we have worked with the team at Aerospike, a number of those limitations have been removed or expanded to a point where they are not problematic any more.

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

Our business relies on fast storage of a large number of records to be able to provide our customers with the response they need in a timely fashion... and in our business, a timely fashion is measured in 10s of ms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
