Cons
Con There can be data loss
Redis logs asynchronously at a given interval. If a data is lost in between interval then it cannot be recovered.
Con Lacks security features
Redis only supports simple authentication mechanism using username/password. It still lacks security features such as authorization and encryption.
Con Setup for clustering is hard
Enabling and configuring clustering for Redis is hard. There are a lot of steps you have to follow to set up a Redis cluster environment and you have to repeat some of those steps for each node.
Con No official support for Windows
Redis does not officially support Windows OS. It is however ported by MSOpenTech but this means that all updates for Windows will be delayed as it will have to be ported by MSOpenTech everytime it is updated.
