Room For Improvement

DataStax Enterprise users seek improved hybrid integration, backward compatibility, customer support, interface usability, cost efficiency, and enhanced automation features.
Users face challenges with Supabase due to limited support, complex setup, scaling issues, and insufficient documentation and features.
Better compatibility with prior versions in terms of codebases should also be improved.
Senior Software Engineer at Deloitte
For example, it can implement some cost optimization where the license can be expensive, and compared to open-source Cassandra, cost is a concern.

It was amazing to be able to create all this technology for free, without the need to pay additional costs to use those technologies, apart from the embeddings ones from Google.

Valuable Features

DataStax Enterprise provides scalable, secure, and easy-to-use features with Cassandra integration, enhancing uptime and productivity.
Supabase Vector offers a unified platform combining relational and vector data with seamless setup, security, and efficient management.
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.
Senior Software Engineer at Deloitte
I can confirm that the outcomes of using DataStax Enterprise show that our database uptime has increased drastically to around 99.9%.

Software Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
We have Supabase basically as the host of most of our business relational database and user data, so since the client's applications are migrating to language model-empowered features, it is very useful, and we do not need to register for other database types.
Director at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Supabase Vector is a managed service, so I do not need to worry about scaling the database and managing the infrastructure.

Featured Reviews

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.

Vector search has reduced duplicate citizen proposals and empowers richer democratic participation
I had problems integrating the vector directly into Supabase, so I had to use Google Vertex to generate the embeddings and the information I needed in the database. It would be nice if all of this could be integrated all in one place with Supabase. I would prefer not to have to use a different or external tool to create these embeddings. It would be nice to have everything integrated in the same way. Apart from that, I think that is one of the cons I found, but it is basic. That was my main concern in that regard. My advice for others looking into using Supabase Vector is to take into account how you are going to create the embeddings, as it is not an option implemented straight away in Supabase. You will need to handle the embeddings with an external tool, so make sure to consider how these integrations are going to be made.
