High Performance: Many users have praised QuestDB's high performance, with some stating that it can ingest large amounts of data and query in sub-100 ms time. Reviewers were stunned by the performance and simplicity of QuestDB, finding it to be a great solution for storing and querying enormous volumes of data very quickly. They appreciated that QuestDB has the ability to handle millions of data points almost instantly, which is not the case with other databases that take more time to handle such volumes of data.

Ease of Use: Several reviewers found QuestDB to be easy to use due to its SQL-like query language. Some appreciated that it supports a lot of Postgres features, eliminating the need to learn a new query language. Others liked how its browser-based UI makes installing and running QuestDB on commodity hardware completely hassle-free. Users also noted that QuestDB's support for InfluxDB Line Protocol makes streaming and batch ingestion of data easy.

Open Source: A number of users appreciate that QuestDB is open source, lightweight but powerful time-series database software. They appreciated incredible modules available with questdb which they could use for their projects.

Lack of Replication: Several users have expressed concerns over the lack of replication feature in QuestDB, with some stating that it limits their options for Kubernetes deployment. While they understand that the feature might be in development, they would like to see more features like replication and running in multiple regions.

SQL Syntax: Some users have pointed out that the SQL syntax is rough around the edges, particularly with functions being case sensitive. Although they acknowledge that QuestDB team is working on improving it, this has caused some inconvenience to users.

Visualization Capability: Although users haven't come across anything they really dislike about QuestDB, a common request has been for improved visualization capability in the browser console. Some users have experienced runaway log files as well.
