More Faiss Pros →

"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently.""Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution.""The online interface is very fast and easy to use.""The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable.""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 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 solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward.""It makes operations more efficient.

Cons
"It would be beneficial if I could set a parameter and see different query mechanisms being run.""It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."

More Faiss Cons →

"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot.""Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application.""There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution.""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.""It's actually quite expensive.""The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier.""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."
