Reviewer scorecard
“If you need billion-scale vector search, Milvus handles it. GPU indexing and distributed architecture set it apart.”
“Separate compute/storage architecture scales independently. Snowpark and data sharing enable modern data architectures.”
“Massive complexity for most use cases. Unless you're operating at true scale, simpler alternatives are better.”
“Expensive at scale and credits pricing is confusing. DuckDB + Parquet handles more analytics than people realize.”
“Purpose-built for the scale that enterprise AI will demand. The CNCF backing adds credibility.”
“The data cloud concept — sharing and collaborating on data — is where enterprise analytics is heading.”
