Suzanne  Kimono - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Deloitte
Continuous data access has ensured high uptime and has supported real-time transactional processing
The best features DataStax Enterprise offers include scaling, speed of data access, and ease of use for those familiar with traditional SQL. The scaling and speed of data access have benefited my team because the scaling and the speeding of data provide linear scale as well as multi-data centers' real-time replication of data such that we can maintain uptime even with the loss of multiple data centers. It enables us to maintain our uptime, which is very crucial for our clients. DataStax Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by providing the ability to have our services up and running even with a total outage at one of our data centers. There is no need to maintain windows since we can turn off data centers while doing maintenance and then put them back in the rotation and move on. I can share specific outcomes or metrics that show this positive impact, such as improvements in performance of about 60% and a reduction in downtime of about 40 to 45%, which is very great.
