Dragonfly Reviews & Product Details

I've had a great experience working with both the open-source and the managed solutions for Dragonfly. The flexibility and performance have been excellent for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would like to see improved is the ability to use smaller instances. For some of my smaller workloads, an instance size of 1GB or less would be ideal, but the current minimum is 3GB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were previously using Redis, but due to slow version updates and a lack of region support, we needed to find an alternative. Dragonfly provided a compatible API, and they provisioned resources in the region we required within 24 hours. We had a few initial setup questions, which the support team was quick to respond to. Since setting up our Dragonfly services have been reliable and met our performance expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced Redis features are not supported yet, but nothing we depend on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dragonfly was very easy to implement in our AWS stack. We replaced an existing Redis that was used for Sidekiq. We saw a reduction in costs and improved performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The minimum instance size of 3GB. It would be great if there were smaller instances that we could use for smaller workloads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dragonfly is fast, reliable, and easy to use. We tested it with up to 3 million queries per second (~250GB memory) on a 22-core instance with one master and three replicas. It worked well for reads and writes isolation, disaster recovery, and handling large data sets.

It's a great alternative to Redis affordable, high-performing, and fully supports Redis APIs, so no code changes are needed. Perfect for teams wanting better performance at a lower cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, our experience has been excellent. Dragonfly is actively improving, and the team is responsive on Discord. They regularly add new features based on user requests, which is a big plus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our experience with Dragonfly has been extremely smooth and exciting! With Dragonfly Cloud, we replaced our huge and expensive self-hosted single-instance Redis-based cache on AWS with a faster, managed cluster on Dragonfly Cloud. This led to better application performance, 60% lower costs, and improved solution reliability. The migration was as easy as changing the endpoints from Redis to Dragonfly — no code changes were required. Scaling clusters up and down is so easy and smooth!

Although most of the necessary features are already in place (easy cluster spin-up, rolling updates, RBAC, etc.), we still lack some, such as the ability to set up maintenance windows for clusters and get notifications about planned maintenance or official Terraform provider. However, the Dragonfly team is very customer-oriented and always tries to find a suitable solution if a required feature is not generally available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DragonflyDB has been a game-changer for us in terms of performance and scalability. We needed a more powerful alternative to Redis that could handle large keys like hashmaps and sorted sets, and DragonflyDB has delivered impressively. We’re managing over 300GB of data with a load of up to 500k operations per second, and DragonflyDB has been able to handle it with ease.

The scaling experience is significantly better as well. Plus, DragonflyDB offers full compatibility with Redis, which was a huge win for us. We have a large codebase, and the migration required no changes to our code—DragonflyDB just worked seamlessly with our existing setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We initially encountered an issue with database instance stability while running in Docker. However, the Dragonfly team quickly addressed it, and their CTO was even personally involved in solving the problem. This level of support was reassuring and greatly appreciated.

Dragonfly has been a game-changer for our infrastructure. We experienced a magnitude speed improvement compared to our previous managed in memory store solution which has significantly enhanced our application's performance.

The integration process was surprisingly smooth and efficient. It only took our team about half a day to fully integrate with Dragonfly since it is redis client compatible. Further, customer support we have gotten has been exceptional. We have had a couple issues outside of business hours and their engineers have been very responsive (including the founder/CTO). This level of support and expertise gives us confidence in the product's ongoing development and our decision to adopt it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall great experience, we did have one issue where we couldn't launch a new instance quickly during a critical spike of our traffic because of an internal quota DragonflyDB team had set. But they resolved very quickly. Nothing major! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to integrate and very fast in combination with a very competitive pricing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes specific features that are well known from Redis are missing, like the Redis search, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about dragonfly is their commitment to creating a user friendly experience. The application was easy. I enjoyed the effort they put into ensuring the candidate gets proper feedback and support. I appreciate the responsiveness of the team and I am excited about the opportunity to join such an innovative company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe there could be more transparency regarding the application timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Dragonfly's ability to use all the computing resources of the machine it's running on. Customer support is also very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dragonfly Cloud could be improved in the onboarding phase. But it's a detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
