Pros and cons

At any time, the required services and support can be purchased separately in an independent plan. The transfer of databases to the desired clusters is very clean and smooth.
Recently we experienced the powerful feature is its Disaster Recovery Strategy. Its really amazing that it has inbuilt support of that.
It is a very lightweight and much faster in performance than its competitors. I love hire it has a mobile and regular server.
Many a time it goes crazy when a change is made to inter-connected buckets and the system fails to recognize this and also found data manipulation language not to work.
Defining a few simple indexes can degrade the performance to a point where the product becomes unusable. Couchbase support and docs are vague in how to get the unmatched performance they advertise.
Full text search is limited throwing errors at times (difficult to understand).

Good cache storing database

Reviewed 2 years ago

overall it is good but not the best for cache storing although it has high availability and high performance, it is slightly costly and I won't be able to write complex queries easily in Couchbase.

Pros

I can say it is not the best but good for server for storing data in a cache because it has good scalability, it is easy to use it support data models that are flexible so I can store both structured and unstructured form of data and at last, it has high availability.

Cons

It is not free and it requires a significant amount of investment for large projects and deployments it has limited integration and limited query language support so it is not easy to handle data that requires complex queries.

Great NoSQL Database Cloud Solution

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

It supports a wide range of features. We can easily connect Microsoft Azure or AWS cloud storage with this platform. Also, it works very smoothly with transferring of databases to the desired clusters.

Cons

It is difficult for any beginner to learn this tool. Also, Cluster Management is a bit complex as compared to other tools and there's no support for community versions.

Flexible NoSQL DB Cloud Base Solution

Reviewed 4 years ago

Couchbase Server is a fully managed NoSQL database as a Sevice, From 2020 onwards, everything went online, and the use of the Internet and e-culture became ubiquitous, increasing the need for secure and fast databases for agile cloud processing for developers and service providers. Last year, a lot of work was forced to move remotely, and the option of delivering goods by mail was added to some services, so analyzing and delivering information and fast access and processing data securely with different access levels was much more important than before. So we used CouchBase Cloud to overcome this challenge, both for ourselves and our client projects. Now Everything is Agile via CouchBase!

Pros

There are a lot of great features I like: in-VPC Deployment is great for direct installation of Cluster Database to customers VPS, also with just a few simple clicks during configuration, Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS cloud storage space can be connected to this platform. At any time, the required services and support can be purchased separately in an independent plan. The transfer of databases to the desired clusters is very clean and smooth. There are different settings for the user access level, which in terms of security can and safety can put users in different categories and even allow access to certain IPs, as well as the ability to create different security certificates.

Cons

Cluster management is a little complicated, development team can also work on the Admin dashboard to make it easier and more simple.

Powerful but demands a lot from IT department

Reviewed 4 years ago

This is a distributed, NoSQL, JSON document database. Its architecture and parameterization are so complex that the promise of high availability and negligible latencies are more a slogan than a real fact. Supporting a mission-critical system with this product requires lot of work, consultation, and hardware expenditures.

Pros

Easy to install. Free trial downloads for many different operating systems. Support of an SQL-compatible query language is a big plus.

Cons

Resource consumption. Whether in cloud or on-premise installation it is a real memory and CPU hogger - even at idle. Defining a few simple indexes can degrade the performance to a point where the product becomes unusable. Couchbase support and docs are vague in how to get the unmatched performance they advertise.

Couchbase - powerful schemaless and nosql

Reviewed 6 years ago

Faster access to data, that what we are solving with this product. As its schema less, we are not having any overhead for deploying this to any lower environment and production server. And we can focus more on solving business problem.

Pros

Most powerful feature of Couchbase of its purpose. Its NoSql and Schema less data store. Recently we experienced the powerful feature is its Disaster Recovery Strategy. Its really amazing that it has inbuilt support of that.

Cons

Indexes. That really causing troubles for us. Complex query are taking hugh amount of time and requires to have indexes of for all kind of JSON document we are storing.

Great tool for managing big data

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

The synch protocol, that allows you to work offline and synch when you came back online. The support for Android is another big feature I like.

Cons

The complexity in making it works. You need too study the doc and principles around the software before you start to see the benefits you can gain from it.
