Before switching from Qdrant

Similarity scores tell you who competes — not who fits. Pressure-test any Qdrant alternative against these five questions:

1. Technical fit: does the vendor support the exact modalities and workflows you run today, or would you be adapting your pipeline to theirs?
2. Industry proof: can they show named customers or case studies in your sector, not just your use case?
3. Compliance: do they hold the certifications your data requires (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR) — verified, not just claimed?
4. Pricing model: how does cost scale at 10× your current volume? Aggressive volume pricing is the most common reason teams switch vendors.
5. Migration cost: what does it take to move your existing data, integrations, and trained workflows out of Qdrant?
