"GWI on Pinecone"
4/5
What do you like best about Pinecone?

Easy of use and metadata filtering. Pinecone is one of the few products out there that is performant with a query that contains metadata filtering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

The pricing doesn't scale well for companies with millions of vectors, especially for p indexes. We experimented with pgvector to move our vectors in a postgres but the metadata filtering performance was not acceptable with the current indexes it supports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
