System Properties Comparison Axibase vs. GeoSpock vs. OpenQM vs. OrientDB vs. Redis

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on HBase with integrated rule engine and visualization

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

QpenQM is a high-performance, self-tuning, multi-value DBMS

Multi-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Primary database model

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Multivalue DBMS

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS
