"Easy to Use and Best Performance for Beginners"

5/5

What do you like best about Zilliz?

The advantage of zillizCloud lies in its ease of use. You can easily get started by signing up for an account on the page and using the available SDK, making it suitable for beginners. ZillizCloud also offers excellent performance; compared to other databases I have used, its performance is currently the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zilliz?

The only thing that might be less satisfying for me is the price, but they offer a suitable free quota. Not bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Too overpriced for claude-context usage"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Zilliz?

They delivered great lib claude-context as promo product to use their db. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zilliz?

But it monthly cost for small project more then to buy mini-pc and host vector database there. Much cheaper (like 100x) to host on hetzner if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
