"Vector Database"
What do you like best about Pinecone?

Pinecone used for indexing or searching of duplicate documents or similarity search score with our query. It helps to detect the anamolies easily. Mostly i liked this database to store my data as a vector form.

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

Pinecone premium subscription for various indexes and pods control.

What problems is Pinecone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps me to easily upsert vectorized data to pinecone vector Db.

"One of the most convenient way for you to build a LLM-based Application"
What do you like best about Pinecone?

You can deploy pinecone very fast without caring about the backend things like docker,storage etc. with an account you can directly building your app with the offical API and python code.

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

the price is relatively high comparing to some opensourced alternative.

What problems is Pinecone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are building a LLM-based Application. Pinecone is the essential part of RAG solution.

"Easy to use and powerful vector database"
What do you like best about Pinecone?

It is very easy to integrate the Pinecone API with a text generation application using LLM. Semantic search is very fast and allows more complex queries using metadata and namespace. I also like the comprehensive documentation.

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

For organizations that need only a little more capacity than is available in a single free pod, the pricing may be more favorable.

What problems is Pinecone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Pinecone as a vector database containing almost 150,000 of decisions of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic and approximately 50 legal statutes. Pinecone serves as the backbone for the knowledge retrieval (RAG) of our legal research application.

"fast and easy to setup vector database"
What do you like best about Pinecone?

The things I mostly like are: - that is easy to set up by following the docs - fast for loading and updating embeddings in the index - easy to scale if needed

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

- that is not open source - I cannot query the full list of ids from an index (I needed to build a database and a script to track what products I have inside the index) - customer support by mail takes too much time

What problems is Pinecone solving and how is that benefiting you?

I built a deep learning model for product matching in the ecommerce industry. One of the steps for the system is to find candidates that are potential matches for the searched product. Becase of this, I needed a vector database to store the embeddings (texts and image) for the products for doing a similarity search as a first step of the product matching system.

"User-friendly enterprise grade vector database"
What do you like best about Pinecone?

We started using Pinecone pretty early on. I like the light UI on top of an API-first approach. We have been using it now for millions of daily queries, and it has rarely, if ever, gone down or giving us trouble. Highly recommended!

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

Not sure what to say here. It's been a good experience overall. If I had to say something, the pricing was tricky to groc.

What problems is Pinecone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast retrieval of multi-modal search queries

"GWI on Pinecone"
What do you like best about Pinecone?

Easy of use and metadata filtering. Pinecone is one of the few products out there that is performant with a query that contains metadata filtering.

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

The pricing doesn't scale well for companies with millions of vectors, especially for p indexes. We experimented with pgvector to move our vectors in a postgres but the metadata filtering performance was not acceptable with the current indexes it supports.

What problems is Pinecone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Semantic search for now.

"Production-ready vector database to get you started quickly"
What do you like best about Pinecone?

- Good documentation and usage examples - Easy-to-use Python SDK - Production-ready with low latency at our scale (10-20M vectors) - Good integration with the AI/LLM ecosystem

What do you dislike about Pinecone?

- did not find an easy way to export all vectors that we needed for data science/cleaning - will get expensive when hosting 100s of millions of vectors

What problems is Pinecone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Pinecone as a vector database for retrieval augmented generation using LLMs.
