    We started out years ago with Ignite 1.8, which was a lot more challenging to work with, but over time we've moved up to GridGain 8.8. We've significantly expanded our use with many caches and we've made it a central part or our transactional systems. We are very happy with the product's super fast queries and extensibility.

Reviewer Insights for: GridGain Unified Real-Time Data Platform

GridGain Unified Real-Time Data Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

Gridgains supports SQL queries directly on cached data. Supports ACID transactions.

Like

With the Ultimate Edition, we have an enterprise solution that is very fast, stable, scalable and supports data recovery capabilities. Over time we'd had many productive calls with the support team and found them very knowledgeable and helpful, any issues we've found generally get worked into a future release (or patch if needed).

Dislike

Complex to set up and manage. You need expertise in in-memory computing systems.

Dislike

Change data capture isn't as easy to do as a database trigger as the Continuous Query is separate from the data and runs as a service, so it is a little more complex and requires extra logic if the service is down while data is still being updated. But there are ways to make it work.
