"Learning Curve Leveling Out, Promising Latency Features"
4/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

I find ScyllaDB's latency to be an extremely important feature. It's crucial for me because faster response times are essential for the projects I plan to work on in the future. The security aspect of ScyllaDB also stands out as a highly valued feature. Although I'm still in the learning phase, these features are significant reasons why I am planning to use this database.

"Great NoSQL database for scaling and real-time data processing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

I like that ScyllaDB can handle very large amounts of data quickly and smoothly. It is easy to add more servers as our data grows, and the system balances the data across nodes on its own. It works well for real-time data processing and has been very reliable with no major downtime. I also like their initiatives to organize various events regarding how to use scylladb in various fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

The main issue is that it uses a lot of system resources. Some features like search or graph queries are not built-in, and setting it up can be a bit hard for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ScyllaDB Gives Better Speed and Throughput Than Other NoSQL Alternatives"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ScyllaDB?

It gives very high throughput, and it stays fast all time even when we send a lot of data at the same time. As Compared to MongoDB, the speed is much better, and the latency is very low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScyllaDB?

Some tools and features we get easily in MongoDB are not available in ScyllaDB. Also, setting up the cluster needs some learning, and simple built-in monitoring could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
