What do you like best about Druid?

1. Pre-aggregate capability which allows to pre-calculate aggregations and save aggregates in segments. Thus, reduces compute and storage costs.

2. Druid UI (0.14+) which has many improvements and allows creating ingestion_specs via UI

3. REST interface for druid_broker for communication, makes it easy to integrate with microservices

4. Druid is a NoSQL DB still it has SQL query support and BAs/Analysts are comfortable using SQL to query Druid

5. Data Security options - Basic HTTP Auth and LDAP supported Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Druid?

1. Complex Architecture - Steep learning curve and has 6 core services which makes deployment & management of Druid cluster complex

2. Memory intensive Historical services - Druid services are quite memory intensive and requires high compute+memory cloud instances.

3. Indexing support - Druid supports only 1 indexing (Inverted Index) which limits the idea of optimizing datasources as per usecase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
