Gets the job done before you know which job that is
Pros
It makes clustering, sharding, backups and more very easy to setup, control and monitor
Cons
The prices are a bit too high for small projects, it's ok for an enterprise global solution
Reasons for choosing Redis Enterprise
The support is really great, the ease of use and setup are also big selling points

Implementation was simple, we setup a multi-site active-active cluster in 30 minutes!
Our experience was great, we were able to accomplish our goals and the support team was more than generous with there time.
Pros
Redis Enterprise provide the ability to make our application highly available using their XDCR feature. We setup a multi-data center cluster the replicated in real-time so that we could design our application to actively server from multiple data centers without any additional latency.
Cons
It needs a better UI, I would definitely like to be able to exec commands without having to login to the hosts.
Reasons for choosing Redis Enterprise
The simplicity, cross data center functionality.

Great tools for Cache Management and Session Management
Pros
It have good CLI which allows easy administration. It provides a great cache management feature which allows data to stay in the memory so it's very fast to fetch the data. Also, they have great customer support. Issues are solved very quickly.
Cons
The pricing is higher as compared to other tools. Also, configuring the security scheme is a bit complex process.

Redis Enterprise - OSS or Enterprise
Overall, I would really appreciate the Redis Enterprise engagement especially the support as that is something (apart from cluster support) which really makes it shine.
Pros
The pros over other solutions and its open source versions include: 1) On the fly scaling Scale to more/less cores and memory as and when needed. 2) Cluster support Support for clusters unlike the OSS version where the cap is on 1 core and fixed memory. 3) High availability & automatic failover Redis enterprise manages the failover internally, so no crashes. 4) Predefined SLAs A mandatory spec definition required by most enterprise customers 5) Monitoring, alerts, etc all such services are available Get notifications on configurable events
Cons
Well, the pricing may not be very well suited for small companies which are low on budget. Not really a con as the open source version does most of the things except for the cluster support on the technical side of things.

Many integrations Database
Experimental applications / demos for prospective apps / labs, Open Source mostly.
Pros
If I, as a developer, had the luxury of choosing a database by just a logo or colour palette initially, I would definitely choose a Redis (Redis Enterprise) because one of my favourite colours is scarlet. Surely there are other reasons for liking Redis: intuitiveness, innovative features, flexibility, scalability, ecosystem.
Cons
Since I use Redis Enterprise only in experimental applications / demos for prospective apps / labs, no issues so far.
Reasons for choosing Redis Enterprise
Partly because it is the most affordable solution supporting experiments, partly because I follow the NoSQL philosophy.

Redis Enterprise is the best solution for a fast, in-memory production database
Redis Enterprise, with its optimizations and great support, enabled us to switch over completely to using Redis as a the cache layer for an enterprise-grade client application within the insurance industry.
Pros
Redis allows you to deploy an extremely fast production-grade clustered in-memory datastore that can be used as a cache layer or for any other fast data access needs. Redis Enterprise provides a managed solution which is deployed on memory-optimized instances for the best performance. Since this is an enterprise solution, the support provided for a given cluster is exemplary.
Cons
The cost for a given cluster is much higher than contemporary solutions. Configuring a custom security scheme for a cluster can be quite cumbersome.
Reasons for switching to Redis Enterprise
The management of our memcached cluster was becoming pretty complicated as the application grew in size.

God of cache management
Performance is an important factor in the applications we develop. For this reason, we use cache in many places. We store and manage all our cache objects on redis.
Pros
My favorite feature is that it has a very flexible and performance oriented structure. It is a cache management application that is already used all over the world and has a large community. In addition, you can easily perform all your operations via the command line.
Cons
The product price may be a little cheaper, although I don't see any shortcomings. A useful interface can also be provided.

The nearly perfect cache
We're caching mostly everything now in Redis. Performace has ski-rocketed,ans the database decoupling has also improved application resilience and reliability.
Pros
Redis is a very flexible key-value store, allowing a lot of different data types. You can set a TTL for each key, you an have replica stores, you can set up a Pub/Sub, you can persist to disk, and all this in memory, with blazing fast performance and unbeatable reliability.
Cons
No database known to men can, to this date, provide consistent transactions, partition tolerance and high availability. Redis is no exception here.

Absolute non-avoidable piece of your software solution
couple of years back I started using redis, I was new to redis, datastructure, lua script, hosting, clustering but their technical team helped us to design the architecture using their services and guiding to build best practices
Pros
Redis enterprise gain big confidence in market with their ready solutions build on redis database. these ready solutions and new data structures are helping to build software applications much faster and with great performances
Cons
Costing is little high, but if you are getting best solutions with less time to go to market then why not pay?

Benefits Accrued by integrating Redis as a Cache storage .
The fact that Redis boasts of more than a billion downloads means that if you have a problem you are most likely not the first person to come across it. And with its massive online community your problem gets sorted quickly. For newbies, I highly recommend visiting Redis university website for online tutorials with practical applications of Redis data structures.
Pros
Redis has many benefits one of them being speed, reliability, and extensibility. Redis as a cache storage optimizes the fetching of data to and from the main storage. I also like the fact that with every Redis version that gets released a number of commands are added which simplifies work.
Cons
Redis to me has made my job simpler having not used any other product for a cache storage before am a Happy Redis user.

Robust in-memory database
Pros
Very quick to insert and retrieve values. Supports complex types of values. It is Possible to build an architecture with high availability.
Cons
The Redis does very well what is proposed to be done, there is nothing that I think is bad about it.

Customizable support
Redis is in a niche on its own. It is quite possibly the de facto for memory storage and fast read write speeds. Coupled with a highly integrated platform this thing rocks! You can plug on the service to your existing workflows to cache responses and respond faster as your demands grow.
Pros
I like the different tier of support offered for redis. In the early days of development the lowest tier is sufficient but as we scale the increase in tier was necessary for the types of support we needed
Cons
The cost - but it beats managing it on your own!

Redis is awesome
Redis is a basic, but extremely fast, key-value storage. We made a decision to use Redis because our use case didn't require a full blown database. We needed something to hold the data temporarily and loss of that data wouldn't lead to any issues. Redis was perfectly fitting our use case, and since then we are a bunch of happy Redis users.
Pros
- Being a non-SQL database, it does not require any structure. Perfect for unstructured data like key-value pairs. - Redis is extremely fault tolerant. As soon as we write a record, it gets saved to the disk, without any performance issues. - Redis is very lightweight. In docker it takes less than 30MB, so it is so easy to run multiple containers in cluster without taking too much power. - Redis has a very good query API, and they are in their website each operation is clearly mentioned with its time complexity. This gives you a clear picture of performance. We didn't in fact do any performance testing because we trusted their site with all the information. - Redis has a very strong community around it. We have never found an issue for which a solution didn't exist beforehand.
Cons
A cluster in Redis was a little hard to understand and deploy, but this is a one time thing to learn, no worries.

Best available DB solution for data caching and session management.
The use-case for us was caching of data from DB queries and session management for multi-server application, Redis was made to handle these use cases so for us it was a perfect solution very less latency in data fetching helped us load a DB query heavy web page in few milliseconds
Pros
The data remains in memory so it's incredibly fast to fetch data based on keys. The design is fairly simple to use, there is a wide range of data types that can be used. clustering and data distribution is very easy when using Redis.
Cons
As its primary advantage is the speed of reading and write, the security features are limited in the DB. As the data resides in RAM for faster access, it could have performance effects if the server system is not well managed. There is still a lack of a proper UI management tool for Redis.

Redis is super fast in-memory cache
We are using Redis to provide faster response rate by storing and retrieving data from redis. We also use redis to process our background jobs. Benefit i received from using redis is speed and reliability.
Pros
Redis is high performance open source in-memory cache. Redis is my favorite choice to store data into cache. Cache can be used in multiple use cases like session storage, page caching, temporary data caching for faster speed. Redis supports various data types: Lists , Sorted sets , hash tables, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes. Redis provides secure and high availability service.
Cons
It is tricky and time taking process to setup redis for production environment if using to process background jobs.

Simply put Redis is fastest and easiest to use data storage software I've ever used.
Faster development times and easy database scaling.
Pros
It's fast, reliable, and easy to use. The added support and scalability of Redis Enterprise allows an already easy to use solution to scale to solve any problem.
Cons
Redis has some limitations with how it stores its data in order to achieve such great performance. Often times this trade off is well worth it for something that works as fast as Redis.

The best solution to use as cache
I use Redis on a daily basis to reduce the load on database servers and increase application performance. All calls to my APIs first make queries on Redis and only in case of error go to the database, this ensures greater speed in the responses. However, good planning is necessary to ensure synchronization between the SQL database and REDIS. In addition to a good maturity to map data from one database to another.
Pros
I liked the simplicity of creating and retrieving keys and the integrations available with different programming languages
Cons
The documentation is a bit complex for those who have never had contact with the product, understanding some concepts of how to use the key types takes a while.

Redis review
In general I'm very pleased with the software and it meets the needs I need - a good opportunity to say thank you!
Pros
I use this software to manage all user data in our apps at the company: Software that works very simply with a real-time update of our user status in the app. It's very easy to update users' data.
Cons
Sometimes information from certain keys can not be cross-referenced. The filters sometimes do not work at all (or not well).

Good Service
The overall experience has been good. We use it for storing/accessing user sessions and it has met our needs very well with little cost.
Pros
It is fairly simple to get up and running and extremely cost effective. Beyond those base points, it scales extremely well and performance is great.
Cons
The documentation is not very good at all when it comes to the available commands. It is a difficult task to learn how to use Redis from the documentation.

Perfect default chose for high load solutions
Pros
Redis as probably everyone know - simple and simply works. As it simple it's easy to start using it by new developers. Simply work means that it requires minimum it support.
Cons
So no Cons actually. Just like with any solution it's not a Silver bullet. Learn about it and read documentation and use cases. Know when is better to not use it.

Best in-memory key store
Redis has brought an impacting performance boast to many of our apps. Whenever data doesn't change very frequently we're using Redis as DB cache.
Pros
Easy to setup and get running Simple to use by developers and sysadmins alike Very high performance High reliability Master-slave replication Pub/sub support
Cons
Some operations are very complex (e.g. zrevrangebyscore)
