System Properties Comparison EsgynDB vs. Ingres vs. OpenTSDB vs. Redis vs. Titan

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.

Description

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Well established RDBMS

Scalable Time Series DBMS based on HBase

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.

Titan is a Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters.

Primary database model
