    Considered Both Products
    Apache
    Chose Cassandra
    We evaluated MongoDB also, but don't like the single point failure possibility. The HBase coupled us too tightly to the Hadoop world while we prefer more technical flexibility. Also HBase is designed for "cold"/old historical data lake use cases and is not typically used for …

    Chose Cassandra
    Against HBase, writes were faster. Reads not so much. Also ability to store in other formats would be good (such as objects). Compared to aerospike, does not compare. Aerospike blows it out of water.

    Chose Cassandra
    Cassandra does one thing very well. It's able to collect any type of metrics and analytics and store them at very fast speeds. But when it comes to reading the data, there are minor performance issues. That's when other databases such as couchdb or couchbase come in. They can …

    Chose Cassandra
    Apache Cassandra has the best of both worlds, it is a Java based NoSQL, linearly scalable, best in class tunable performance across different workloads, fault tolerant, distributed, masterless, time series database. We have used both Apache HBase and MongoDB for some use cases …

    Chose DataStax Enterprise
    DataStax Enterprise offered best-in-class write performance and scalability. The customer support team was very helpful in the adoption of new technology.

    Chose DataStax Enterprise
    We chose datastax because we need a system always available and capable of ingesting a large amount of data per second, even if eventually consistent and with multi data center sync native support.

    We considered Cloudera as an alternative using Kafka as the ingestion layer but …

    Chose DataStax Enterprise
    Amazon DynamoDB and Datastax Cassandra are similar on masterless architecture and principles, DynamoDB is managed and needs cost analysis. If you need to have better control, Datastax is better.

    I also did a prototype with Google Spanner in one of the recent innovation days, it …
