Overall Satisfaction with Redis
Redis is being used as our main nonSQL database store. We run PostgreSQL as the main relational data store, Our entire platform used within the business unit utilizes Redis and is also customer facing. The stability, reliability and scalability are great and it's also easy to easy to set up and implement.
Pros
- Great reliability and great fail over capabilities
- Easy to set up, implement and deploy
- Can scale as you grow
- Backups to AWS S3 are supported and are very easy to set up
Cons
- Better UI interface for less technical support personnel
- Wish Reids had a Chat support option
- Better documentation in a wiki format
- Redis has reduced our licensing costs by around 15% compared to running SQL exclusively
- Performance has increased
- Reliability has improved greatly compared to when we ran everything on SQL
Yes - We replaced Microsoft SQL because of the cost, maintenance and reliability associated with running a hybrid infrastructure. Also our licenses costs have been reduced since we can re-focus those resources on development.

One of the most important factors to our company since we are a significantly smaller than our competitors since price. We have to stretch our IT budget to be able to compete with our competitors
We evaluated Oracle and at first it seems competitive but after the contract term pricing would jump. Heard this from business associates and online communities
