Redis Enterprise Cloud™* vs. Virtuozzo Application Platform

Redis Cloud is very well suited for scenarios where fast data access is required or somewhat unstructured data needs to be stored. For us, it has worked very well for user session storage. However, if you have large amounts of structured data that is not frequently accessed, Redis is not the solution and a traditional relational database is likely more appropriate.

In case you want a cheaper PaaS that may be available in your country (Brazil, in my case), you may give Jelastic a try. There are some other strong competitors for the PaaS scenario with free versions, but the paid versions are far more expensive.

• Reliability and splicity
• Fair pricing

• Easy to use, the interface guides you to create your application.
• Custom SSL certificate. You can upload your own certificates and it will configure them for you.

• The only area of improvement I have found is the documentation is sometimes lacking and could be a little more comprehensive.

• SSH is still tricky to use. You have to log in to a gateway and go to an option menu to get logged in. Sometimes it was not available or too slow.
• Some errors are not clear enough. It took some time to understand which files I had to upload to get my custom SSL certificates working.

I've used Heroku Redis and RedisToGo. Redis Cloud has the best free/developer plan, and we have never had an issue.

The price of Jelastic for the paid version (considering SSL) is better.

• Redis Cloud is very affordable and therefore the cost is negligible when compared to the benefits— immediate ROI with very little startup costs.

• It has powered my project since its creation. It's a small project but I did not have any problems until now.
