Very fast in terms and read / write capabilities

The most useful feature that I found was its ability to store data at low latency (i think it's around 5ms). It has also been very stable over time with no major issues reported so far. There are some minor performance improvements as well which can be achieved by tuning certain parameters but nothing too significant yet. As of now there isn't much you need from this product other than storing your application logs/events or any kind of transactional system where high speed reads & writes…

Pros
  • Fast read / write times
  • High throughput for small amount transactions.
  • Good durability guarantee due lack redundancy in hardware architecture(like SAN) required,
  • Easy deployment through docker containers.etc
Cons
  • Not easy integration possible wth existing cloud services such Azure SQL server

Revainrating 4 out of 5

We have been using VoltDB for about a year.

The documentation was really good. It helped me get up to speed quickly. I love that the system handles memory differently than Oracle. This allowed me to use more of my hardware. And it had performance comparable or better than Oracle's products. The system is very easy to set up and run with. VoltDB supports all of our SQL needs. There are not any downsides that we have encountered so far. VoltDB has been easy to integrate into our existing systems. We've been able to do some pretty cool…

Pros
  • It is a very easy system to set up and get up to speed on
Cons
  • You can not set up a system with a very good configuration and then have it perform on existing hardware
