"Used Radis for Cache Implementation"
4/5
What do you like best about Redis Software?

I used redis in my project for implementing the cache mechanism. it is very fast and reliable.

Also like the redis command line (redis cli) easy to add, remove and update the value in the redis server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

In redis command line when we start writing any command it will not give any suggestions or automatically fill the command like other cli tools we can use tab button it will automatically fill the remaining command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in-memory database experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Redis Software?

The speed and simplicity are amazing.

Easy to understand and implement.

Stores data in memory, therefore, can perform a huge number of read and write operations per second. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

If the system abruptly restarts, data is lost.

If we enable real-time data backup to disk in order to avoid the above issue, resource utilization skyrockets.

Also, logging makes things run slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Speed up your app"
5/5
What do you like best about Redis Software?

Redis is highly stable, and when caching the data, it increases application speed by a considerable amount. It is highly reliable, easy to set up, widely used, and beginner-friendly. The community support is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

It does not support a variety of data types, so you'll have to do the conversion while writing and reading from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best caching solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Redis Software?

I was able to easily build a key value data store using redis. Using the replication function of redis 3.0, we were able to respond effectively to failures. Redis is used for session management of applications. It is also used to centrally manage meta data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

You should keep in mind that Redis's cache TTL operates in a sampling manner. If you need to process Expired Event of a large amount of data, CPU usage may increase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect Documentation"
5/5
What do you like best about Redis Software?

I use the Redis API in my python web-stack and it is one of the slickest things I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The application that I maintain, deepquill.com, needs to serve a high volume of requests while doing continuous cloud-resource tracking/management and it all has to happen asynchronously, so naturally I turned to Redis for a high speed caching solution. At the time I knew only Postgres and Redis works very differently, so I was new to the whole system. The solution I needed to implement with this database wasn't exactly trivial either, so I was prepared to spend a good amount of time slogging through source code to learn what I needed to alter to get this module to work how I wanted it to. -- To this day I have not seen a single line of it's source code -- It's all there in the documentation, written in plain English with examples and use-cases galore! Even if there were a faster and more reliable caching solution on the market (which there isn't) , I would honestly still pick Redis if only for it's thorough and accessible documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

The only downside I could identify with this solution is that it is not really meant to store data in a persistent form. At least not by default. Redis does everything in volatile memory (which is why it can be so fast) , and while it is easy to set it up to write your data to disk from time to time (it's maybe 3 lines of code tops), it can potentially be confusing to people who come from a more traditional database and expect their data to still be there after a power cycle. The only people who would really suffer from this misunderstanding are those didn't read the manual though, so don't be one of those and you'll be fine. Just be warned: if you want Redis to record your data in a persistent form, you have to explicitly tell it to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Because Redis can minimalizes resource using Caching"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Redis Software?

Redis is best for caching, easy to set up, and easy to use. I'm still new with Redis, but I really like Redis because Redis is really helping me to cache data, I usually use Redis on Heroku or on my local machine, it's really easy to setup Redis on Heroku because you can just select from the Heroku features you need, and select the Redis features, it really helps me to deploy an app to Heroku using Redis.

What do you dislike about Redis Software?

No, I really like Redis, I don't think that I disliked Redis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Redis Software?

Its an all in one Utility Pack that uses very little memory on startup. I have used it for storing XML hotel master data as Tables rows. While caching inventory as Key/Values and as a Broker to improve performance for the ELK stack. The distributed cache makes it even faster when using multiple data-centers across continents.
