Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“For key-value: Use Redis Cloud for most B2B use cases where low latency and rich data structures are critical.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · NoSQL · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“MongoDB and Redis are the easiest to start with due to their free tiers” Mistral Small · NoSQL · budget prompt · first choice
“MongoDB Community Edition or Redis would be the best starting points” MiniMax M2.5 · NoSQL · budget prompt · first choice
“Lowest-latency caching / sessions / real-time state → Redis” DeepSeek V4 Flash · NoSQL · comparative prompt · first choice
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Risk Level: Critical ... Do not expose Redis to the internet.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · NoSQL · negative prompt · hard negative
“using it solely as a vector database is an anti-pattern” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Vector databases · negative prompt · hard negative
“Redis (Be Cautious of the Brand, look at Valkey): ... changed its license ... "source-available" rather than open-source” Gemini 3.5 Flash · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative
“Redis can be excellent as a cache or fast store, but you should be careful if you need durable, always-on primary storage” GPT-5.4 mini · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 108 of the 158 answers that named Redis and are not a share of its labels.
320 of the 320 domain citations in answers naming Redis came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Redis's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Redis, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at redis.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.
Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
