What do you like best about Weaviate?

the initial setup is genuinely quite easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Weaviate?

We had an issue where our data corrupted and weaviate became entirely useless, retrieving different data at each request. During this time, weaviate took a day to respond each time, consistently shifting the blame onto us and not resolving the issue. There is no way you can help yourself as the actual management console is incredibly barebones. We had to move away from weaviate as the other two options were negotiating with support (which is a painful process when the blame is entirely shifted on you at all times) or using the control panel (which is incredibly barebones - there is not even a way of turning off your instance). Again, if you have an issue, do not expect to ever be able to resolve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and powerful vector database"
5/5
What do you like best about Weaviate?

Weaviate is such a joy to use. I got a cluster set up in a couple of hours. Very good documentation, performant, a good level of abstraction where I don't feel like things are hand-wavy.

It's flexible enough that I get to use my IR and ML knowledge and feel quite in control of how the search performs.

I can use my own embedding model, reranker, and tune hybrid search to suit my usecase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Weaviate?

It could be cheaper! But it's cheaper than another competitor I tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Advanced Open Source Vector Database"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Weaviate?

Setting up an AI client is a complex task. Weaviate makes it possible to try different LLMs combined with hybrid search. This way we get the best of both worlds. We can make inferences based on more traditional search and help the model churn out better results.

Weaviate can be run locally, on-premise or in the cloud. This is really useful for a large number of use-cases. It also provides a clear pathway in case we want to move away from Weaviate Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Weaviate?

So far our greatest challenge has been to create a chat like interface with Weaviate. I am sure it's possible but there are no official guides around it. Maybe something on the lines of Assistants API provided by OpenAI would be really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Out of the box solution of Vector Databases"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Weaviate?

I appreciate Weaviate's efficiency as a Vector Database, offering seamless integration with LLM models. Its fast computation, coupled with the capabilities for semantic search and RAGs, is admirable. Moreover, its out-of-the-box computing service is not only efficient but also reasonably priced, making it an excellent choice for various applications. It's encouraging to see its continuous development and the growing, supportive community that accompanies it, with a very competent support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Weaviate?

A challenge of using Weaviate is its steep learning curve, especially for those new to the field, requiring a fair amount of technical programming skills to fully utilize its features. Once you reach it, the possibilities are endless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Weaviate Cloud Services is the best vector store option for both novices and advanced users."
5/5
What do you like best about Weaviate?

As a novice only a few short months ago, I needed a way to impement 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 as 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Weaviate?

I find it necessary to do queries in the WCS dashbord 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 deletiing them, forcing you to have to go back and re-create them every time you need them. That's actually my biggest pet peeve.
