Weaviate Reviews & Product Details

As a novice only a few short months ago, I needed a way to implement embeddings which was easy and relatively inexpensive. WCS came through on both of those for me. In addition, as I began to gain more experience, I was able to appreciate more the vast array of embed and retrieval options WCS had to offer. Now, as a grizzled veteran now deploying my 3rd RAG system, I am extremely happy with the decision I made early on to go with WCS. Integrating into my code was very easy. Their support is great and timely, and they appear to spend a good amount of effort continuously improving an already superior system. In RAG, your answers are only ever going to be as good as the documents your model is given to analyze, and I have to say that WCS cosine similarity searches have consistently given me back the best documents for the best answers.

I find it necessary to do queries in the WCS dashboard to both design processing code as well as troubleshoot -- and just to see what's in my vector store. The query syntax, while not terribly difficult, isn't the most intuitive. It sometimes takes a few minutes to go back and research how to construct the specific queries you need. It would be helpful if the queries you create are stored in the dashboard. Unfortunately, WCS has a bad habit of deleting them, forcing you to have to go back and re-create them every time you need them. That's actually my biggest pet peeve.

Weaviate is the cost-effective and fastest way to get your Vector Indexing and Vector Similarity search implemented for your platform! We were up and running in a few hours. The support team on Slack is very helpful. A 10/10 for the product and people behind it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automatic updates would be helpful atleast on the Weaviate managed cloud instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's performant, easy to use, and has lots of great features. It's also a huge plus that it has cloud hosting to get started but is also open source and can be self-hosted. The cloud hosting was easy to set up and integrate with and includes various handy tools like the ability to run GraphQL queries against the data directly from the cloud console. Docs are also excellent, and aside from one issue it has been very robust and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It definitely feels like a young product (which it is), especially the cloud hosting which feels a little barebones. We were also affected by one substantial bug which resulted in broken keyword search (which admittedly is a secondary feature for most Weaviate users). On the plus side, I had some fairly technical questions about how to recover from the bug and received excellent support through Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy to get started with weaviate, the pricing is simple and they take care of importing models from huggingface for us and provisioning the db instances so we can concentrate on building our product.

We were able to quickly integrate weaviate with our existing stack using the python libraries.

The documentation is good and we have been impressed by the support we received for our more unusual use cases.

There is an active slack community and we've met several people from the team and they've all been very helpful.

What's more it's all open source so we feel safe choosing Weaviate for a cricical part of our tech stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback I can think of is that recall speed can be slow with some queries (e.g. meta filters). I believe this is being worked on though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team has been using Weabiate for about six months. It was very easy to implement a development and production environment and integrate into our AI application. Their customer success team reached out to us to check in but we did not have any issues to address. Weaviate DB is used in our production application daily and has not had any uptime or reliability issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The billing system is a little bit clunky and it is not easy to see past invoices via the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I highly recommend this platform as a fully capable vector database solution. I have used Weaviate for everything from RAG to simple data storage, and find it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not have a very modern API/interface, but I feel this is balanced by its capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Simple to get a local dev env working with docker

* Their new v4 python sdk makes things way easier to work with

* Built-in hybrid search with the options to tailor it to exactly what you need is a huge plus

* Reliable, been using it in production for 6 months without a hiccup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* It's a fast moving product, so documentation could use some more frequent updating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works really good and it's quite stable in general for the requests that we do. It's also fast and works good with the vectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On November 8th there were some issues regarding the functionalities of Weviate(I guess because OpenAI went down) but we didn't get any notifications regarding the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to create knowledge graphs and ease of handling embeddings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing could be a little more economical Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We moved to Weaviate because of the ease of integration with our core platform and the performance of indexes and the retrieval latency. And the ease of implementation using Lyzr SDKs has been a hit with enterprise customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Weaviate Cloud UI needs an overhaul. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
