What do you dislike about YugabyteDB?

the ecosystem is growing with the time. it is not very fully mature compare to the other tools in the market and tuning resources are not that very straight forward. once the universe is created with the configuration not all options are modifiable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rock-solid database that grows with our needs"
5/5
What do you like best about YugabyteDB?

What I really like about YugabyteDB is how well it scales as our traffic grows. We were able to start small and then add more nodes without major downtime or headaches. The fact that it speaks PostgreSQL made it much easier for our team to get up and running quickly — we didn’t have to relearn everything. It’s also been very reliable; even when we’ve had hardware issues, the built-in replication and failover have kept things running smoothly. It gives us confidence that our data is safe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YugabyteDB?

The learning curve in the beginning was a bit steep. Setting up a multi-region cluster took some trial and error, and some parts of the documentation could be clearer. Once we got through the initial setup, it’s been stable, but it definitely requires a bit more hands-on work compared to a traditional single-node database. It’s not “plug and play,” but the payoff has been worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YugabyteDB?

PostgreSQL compatibility, massive scalability, high availability (HA) and fault tolerance, strong consistency, and open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YugabyteDB?

It’s not 100% PostgreSQL-compatible, and because it’s distributed, it can be complex to debug. I’ve also noticed higher resource usage, along with additional operational overhead to manage and maintain it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Data Pinning Made Easy for GDPR Compliance and Lower Latency"
5/5

You can “pin” data to specific regions, which is extremely helpful for GDPR compliance and for reducing latency for users in those areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn’t truly “plug-and-play.” Setting up and configuring a distributed cluster across regions requires more planning and upfront work than a simple, straightforward SQL installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
