DataStax Enterprise pros and cons

Delivers a best-in-class Apache Cassandra distribution with high availability and horizontal scalability.
Strong performance handling large datasets, well-suited to demanding enterprise use cases.
Provides drivers, SDKs, and APIs for nearly any language, plus integration with Solr and Spark.
Top-notch support helps teams adopt and maintain an otherwise difficult-to-run product.

Cassandra itself is hard to install and maintain, and DSE carries high maintenance overhead.
Some reviewers note it is a complex product that demands significant operational effort.

"DSE an acceptible product with high maintenance overhead"

What do you like best about DataStax? The all in one integration between Cassandra, Solr, and Spark makes it simple to use together. Once installed, configuring them for basic out of the box functionality is completed by just enabling each one in a file. Once you get into the Ops Center and maintaining a production cluster, it starts to get more complicated. However, the DataStax academy provides the information needed to start more advanced configurations and implementations.
