Redis is one of my favorite databases. We have used Redis with NodeJS and Python. Due to its highly available nature, we used it in several areas like authentication & authorization, frequent HTTP response data caching, session management. We experienced that read/writes to Redis very faster, highly scalable, and reliable. Thanks to Redis Team to make it opensource so that we can use it freely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be really great if we can store key-file in Redis like we store key-value now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a very fast and easy tool to implement, and also to configure the Redis services to our most peculiar environment that we want to give the service, highlighting that this system is highly compatible, since there are many tools that are based on this field of work in the software, determining that it is very flexible in understanding its subject matter, especially the developers who become familiar with this operational branch, while exercising a very guaranteed reliability.

We can highlight that it contains some difficulties to scale Redis in a correct way in its entirety, making a point of reference that lately this software has become prohibitively expensive, since it exceeds the budget limits of many small category companies mostly, which contains a development process lower than other organizations, which cannot afford to pay these monthly payments, being an economic problem.

Redis can be accessed with many programming languages. Easy to work with. Documentation is very clear. Redis is also very fast since it uses key value mechanism. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would have been better to have more complex queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Single Threaded. You won't benefit from having multi-core CPUs. Lack of having a GUI client Maybe lack of good training materials. I always find difficulty finding answers. It's either out of date or takes a lot of time to get answers to what I want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
