"Fantastic distributed in-memory cache"
What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

I love how easy to use the Apache Ignite API is, it's very intuitive and allows me to create a resilient distributed in-memory cache which is lightning fast. I really appreciate the quality of the documentation, taught me a lot! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

When I last used it, the ignite-zookeeper library was lagging behind the official zookeeper version significantly. I see that's changed a bit now, but still lagging a little (3.4.13 vs 3.5.6). However, the curator dependency is still severely outdated (2.9.1 vs 4.2.0). I needed to shade these in order to make progress on my distributed service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Delicate, not so nice in memory platform "
What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

Creating a cache and getting started is not difficult. Rest communication to the cluster is good thing. In memory speed of computation is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

Delicate rebalance mechanism. Issue of loading indice in memory on node restart. Wal related opacity in various parameters. Few cache configuration are mutable and few are not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"In memory hammer for large scale data processing tasks"
What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

Ignite is a large scale in-memory processing data processing system. It is similar to Spark but more flexible. Unlike RDDs Ignite collections are immutable. This means there is a lot you can do with Ignite such as using it as a cache or even for transaction processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

I found the documentation and starter material available for Ignite is not very comprehensive and helpful. Also, the server and distributed management of Ignite workers is not very streamlined yet. You need to manually ssh into servers to restart a worker or check logs when something goes wring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gives a lot of knobs to play with and suit it according to your needs. The underlying persistent layer can be switched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong choice for a highly-performant general purpose database"
What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

Apache Ignite allows users to compute and store massive amounts of data at scale very reliably. While many classic SQL databases would choke on the high throughput demanded, Apache Ignite can easily handle huge throughput loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

Unless the data model is designed properly, a number of edge cases can cause unexpected poor performance when using Apache Ignite. Special care must be taken to determine what query patterns will be used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
