"Worst Support in industry and talk about sercurity flaws in AWS..."
What do you like about Amazon ElastiCache?
They offer everything at overpriced cost. We did Elastic Search hosting for 10K a month, moved away from AWS, and the cost is 800 a month at better pe

What do you dislike about Amazon ElastiCache?
If you like to pay 10X more for nothing, get no support or pay for support that goes in circles, go for AWS. We moved to GCP instead, which is 10X bet

Set up speed, scalability, management console, and logging. Good experience overall in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really to dislike as pricing is actually for the underlying resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed caching service provided by AWS; It is compatible with Redis and Memcached Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No such dislikes for this service as of now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The service worked reliably. I never had issues with Redis downtime with a four-node cluster that was heavily used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would say price, but it does vary what kind of usage the services using Elasticache need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are using Elastic Cache Redis, and like that, I can use it without managing the infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That I can't get to Elastic Cache Redis logs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fully managed cache - we can use the caching without worry to backup or recovery process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The cost is high
Learning curve - beginners will be find it hard to start with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
cloud infrastructure from AWS, this one is making it easier to access and the implementation makes really easy and centralised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Costing sometimes might be an issue for starting the things but once we have infra ready, it's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much modification required to move our existing redis cluster onto the Amazon ElastiCache. What I love the most is Multi-AZ failsafe architecture available to set up our Redis cluster here. Also it is very fast and easy to manage through the AWS console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not complaining, but it feels the pricing structure for the usage is pretty high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to set up, resilient and highly available. Option between Redis and Memcached is nice for devs who simply want a read-through cache to sit in front of DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fully Managed is convenient, but sometimes you lose out on some visibility. For example, the Redis slowlog is not easily viewable from the aws console. You have to consistently poll it with a Redis client from say, a Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Amazon ElastiCache has two cluster engines: Redis and Memcached. Redis is an in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. ElastiCache for Redis offers Multi-AZ with Auto-Failover and enhanced robustness. Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications. From a location perspective, we can choose both Amazon or On-Premise locations. Amazon ElastiCache provides low latency data for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
High cost for Redis Multi-AZ replication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about it is that it is AWS managed and we don't have to manage the server or anything and it also offers high availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would have been better if a GUI based client on the AWS console is provided to interact with the AWS ElastiCache instance like Memcache or Redis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
