DataStax made it incredibly easy to build and scale our AI agent with Langflow. AstraDB’s serverless architecture meant we didn’t have to worry about provisioning infrastructure, and the integration with vector search made RAG workflows lightning-fast. We especially loved how well AstraDB plugged into Langflow – it felt like building with building blocks. The documentation is clean, the UI is intuitive, and support was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. If you’re building anything AI-driven with persistent memory, AstraDB is a no-brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While AstraDB is incredibly powerful, the learning curve can be a bit steep for first-time users — especially around schema design and understanding CQL for more complex queries. We also noticed that some SDKs or tooling examples lag behind the latest feature releases, which required digging through docs or GitHub issues. That said, the support team and community are active and helpful when you hit a wall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a company building and stress-testing RAG pipelines daily, the combination of DataStax Astra DB and Langflow has been a game-changer. DataStax delivers scalable, high-speed vector search with excellent integration via the Astra DB and LangChain ecosystem—perfect for low-latency, high-volume workloads. Langflow, on the other hand, makes LLM orchestration visual and intuitive. It accelerates prototyping while still being customizable enough for production-grade workflows. Together, they reduce dev time significantly and let me focus more on refining prompts and grounding logic, rather than infrastructure.

Pros:

Astra DB’s fast vector search and native LangChain support

Langflow’s drag-and-drop interface for rapid experimentation

Easy integration with OpenAI, Cohere, and other providers

Scales well without overcomplicating the stack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Langflow is Currently in Preview which might limit deployment to Production Environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a dev who wants to get things done while staying flexible, this is a dream come true. You get all the drag-and-drop components for speed and simplicity - but you’re not locked in. You can create your own components and tweak almost anything to fit your needs.

This means you can build complex components while still working with intuitive, easy-to-grasp flows. Custom code can quickly become a tangled mess, and no-code builders can feel too restrictive. Langflow strikes the perfect balance.

Plus, it’s open-source, with a thriving community that’s making it better every day!

You’ve just got to try it. I keep going to langflow.new whenever I want to test something real quick since there’s no login, and you can jump right in. 😄 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only see two downsides.

First, it has fewer integrations compared to other no-code tools like Make.com or n8n. That said, the crucial ones like Google Drive ,Gmail, etc. are already there. Plus, it’s more optimized for agentic systems, where it actually has the most integrations of any platform (vector DBs, model providers, etc.), so it makes sense.

Second, startup time and initial runs can be a bit slow. Given how much functionality it packs, that’s understandable. But I’ve already seen huge improvements in this area, so I’m pretty confident it’ll keep getting better over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DataStax offers high performance, scalability, and enterprise-grade features built on Apache Cassandra, making it ideal for handling large-scale, real-time data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up and managing it can be complex, especially for beginners, and pricing may be high for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team has been in close contact throughout the process, providing tutorials and answers that helped us understand the expectations and processes.

The benefits have been customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tutorials often do not match my needs. I needed specific details to use the APIs in a format that did not match my expectations or possibly my needs. I am able to build apps that upload our data to DataStax. But I am unable to access the vector search parameters because the method that I used to upload the data is not the preferred method to query the database. In order to use the tutorials for querying the database, we would have to completely start from scratch with uploading the dataset using the same tutorials. Unfortunately, those tutorials are not set up in a manner that I understand how to upload the data. As such, I find that I might have to build my own database query pipeline

This is a problem for ease of use, ease of integration, ease of implementation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
