We performed a comparison between Chroma and Redis based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vector Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature is its documentation, which allows new users to easily learn, deploy, and use it."
"It's very easy to set up and runs easily."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The best thing about Redis is its ability to handle large amounts of data without frequently hitting the database. You can store data in temporary memory, especially for high-volume data."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required."
"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."
"I think Chroma doesn't have a ready-made containerized image available."
"The hybrid algorithm needs improvement."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"The tool should improve by increasing its size limits and handling dynamic data better. We use the client ID or associate it with a key for static content. The solution will not be easy for a beginner. Unless you understand SQL data, it will be difficult to understand and use Redis. It also needs to be user-friendly."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
