We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Couchbase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."A consistent solution."
"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."
"I am getting much better performance than relational databases."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"Our primary use case for the solution is testing."
"The principal advantage of Couchbase is that we can have multiple database paradigms in the same product, without deploying multiple databases. We also like that it has lower latency, when compared to its competitor: Cassandra."
"Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application."
"I have found the views to be very valuable."
"The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data."
"The main advantages were associated with it being a no SQL database. It helped us send out metrics or rewards to multiple players in our game at a very low latency."
"The whole stack is valuable, but the portion of the stack that we're finding really handy is the analytics engine because that allows us to take and pre-build views."
"It is pretty stable."
"It is highly available for support and does not impact our operations significantly during failures."
"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."
"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."
"Interface is not user friendly."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
"Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit."
"The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases."
"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version."
"The scripting language for this solution could be improved. A big selling point is that they're like SQL server but there is still quite a lot of missing functionality."
"Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature."
"The failover and failback could be a bit easier. When I looked at it last time, it had to be manually done. It also took over an hour for us to rebalance all the nodes."
"The platform's grouping features need improvement."
"Needs some capacity planning to deal with too much memory, CPUs and displays."
"We would like to have a better management of Kubernetes with the free, open source version of Couchbase. We don't have any major complaints other than that."
"The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process."
Cassandra is ranked 4th in NoSQL Databases with 19 reviews while Couchbase is ranked 2nd in NoSQL Databases with 11 reviews. Cassandra is rated 8.0, while Couchbase is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Cassandra writes "Well-equipped to handle a massive influx of data and billions of requests". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Couchbase writes "No SQL cloud based solution used to manage unstructured data and push out large volumes of metrics at a low latency". Cassandra is most compared with MongoDB, ScyllaDB, InfluxDB, Oracle NoSQL and Chroma, whereas Couchbase is most compared with MongoDB, ScyllaDB, CouchDB, Aerospike Database 7 and InfluxDB.
