DataStax Enterprise is the primary database for all transactional processing. DataStax Enterprise provides linear scale as well as multi-datacenter real-time replication of data such that we can maintain uptime even with the loss of multiple data centers. Keeping the system up and the data fresh is of paramount importance for our clients. Performance is also top of mind and DataStax Enterprise delivers best-in-class performance.
- Scaling
- Speed of data access
- Ease of use with those familiar with traditional SQL
- Best in class support team
- Hybrid on-prem / cloud solution with Astra.
- Better compatibility with prior versions in terms of codebase.

If you need a database for large scale workloads, take a look at DataStax Enterprise
The design and development of new aircraft engines require large amounts of sensor data to be stored, managed, and queried. The availability of the data and the query performance is critical to the safety of people and equipment. Traditional RDBMS systems proved to be inadequate for the job as the volumes and velocity of information increased. We selected DataStax Enterprise for its high availability, and best-in-class write performance. There is a learning curve to be overcome, but in the end, the new system matched and exceeded expectations. As a result, the company has a new reliable platform to support the business needs for years in the future.
- Horizontal scalability
- High availability
- Fast writes
- Query flexibility
- User experience
- Node density

Best Database in town
We are a small startup company. Datastax is being used by a company to address the need to rapidly ingest data. Due to the high up-time and easily scalable options, our company is able to grow better.
- Easily and highly Scalable
- Simple UI
- High uptime
- Cassandra is a bit difficult to learn and understand
- The costs are slightly higher for our company
- Hardware requirement is moderate to high at the beginning

Very reliable distributed data platform
We used Datastax in a POC and then, after appreciating its scalability and performances, we decided to use it for a real project. The project has a strict requirement to have the minimum possible latency and to reach a peak data rate in writing of more than 25k write per second. Moreover, we have the requirement to have replication between two data centers. We were able to reach our targets with a small cluster of 3+3 nodes.
- Scalability: it provides near linear scalability being based on open source Cassandra
- Opscenter: it is a powerful and complete tool for monitoring
- You can use Spark for analytics workloads
- Requires investment on hardware
- Initial setup could be cumbersome
- You need to be careful to use it only in the right context
Datastax Enterprise Edition for Cassandra is currently being used across multiple departments at our organization. It is used for various critical use cases and platform solutions where we are creating highly available, linearly scalable systems and services with good performance. We have used it for services used by tax domain and small businesses. Profile platform, AB testing platform and other services across product groups use Datastax Cassandra with good success.
- Datastax Cassandra provides high availability and good performance for a database. It is built on top of open source Apache Cassandra so you can always somewhat understand the internal functioning and why.
- Datastax Cassandra is fairly simple to start using, you can install/setup your cluster and be productive in 1 day.
- Datastax Cassandra provides a lot of good detailed documentation, and when starting, the detailed free videos on the Datastax site and documentation are very helpful.
- Datastax Enterprise Edition of Cassandra provides more tools, good support, and quick response SLA for enterprise business support.
- The move from SQL to NoSQL paradigm is always difficult for people who have been using SQL for most part of their technical lives. Even if NoSQL has better performance and is more scalable, the database interface/functionality needs to be seamless for users. This has always been the top challenge. Now with the advent of ACID and horizontally scaling Google Spanner, the competition is rife for what a database can provide.
- Though one can be immediately productive, if you get corner cases in your usage with Datastax Cassandra, you have to really know it better. There is a learning curve. Understanding Cassandra server logs, audit logs and sstables helps.
- Debugging can be longer especially if you hit corner cases, like not using Light Weight transaction correctly, timestamp ties or getting RuntimeException on scrub/repair/compaction (java.lang.RuntimeException: 30623431613136352d656433372d343939322d393066342d366632313961393530353062 is not defined as a collection) and such.
- Datastax Cassandra has great benefits in product, and features but there are costs on infrastructure maintenance and regular operational tasks. Not that there is any technical component that can self heal :-), but this time investment in Datastax Cassandra is more compared to SQL db, say MySQL.

DataStax Review
It is being used by a department to address the need to rapidly ingest data.
- It is always up, very fault tolerant.
- Tunable consistency, flexible in that regard.
- Nice management tools.
- Support for aggregation functions is still limited.
