We performed a comparison between Amazon Neptune and Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and others in Managed NoSQL Databases."Relational databases are never good at identifying patterns in graphs or other similar relationships, whereas Amazon Neptune is."
"I like the scalability. There aren't any constraints for posting in the geolocation. I also like the SQL architecture."
"Cosmos DB makes life easier because if we want to use Mongo-type data, or Cassandra-type data, or maybe even just a simple cable storage-type data, then graph, there are multiple ways to do this."
"It is non-SQL and helps to manage and manipulate data from the coding, rather than direct data and complex queries."
"One of the nice features is the ability to auto-scale"
"It is one of the simpler databases to work with in terms of code management, tracking, and debugging due to its straightforward data storage and retrieval mechanisms."
"Cosmos is a PaaS, so you don't need to worry about infrastructure and hosting. It has various APIs that allow it to integrate with other solutions. For example, we are using a MongoDB-compatible API for customers, which makes it easier for developers on the team who previously used MongoDB or are accustomed to the old document storage paradigm."
"It's not a specific feature that I value, but the scalability of this system is the most impressive aspect."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward. You can set up a Cosmos DB in a day, even configuring things like availability zones around the world."
"Amazon Neptune could improve by spreading more awareness for others to have an understanding of the solution because the technology is fairly new. The developer community and larger community do not understand it yet."
"It is not as easy to use as DynamoDB."
"Slight enhancements in integration interfaces, expanded dashboard functionalities, and broader use-case support would be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in their customer support services."
"We should have more freedom to tweak it and make our own queries for non-traditional use-cases."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB's performance could be better. In large volumes of documents, the querying process becomes slow and complicated."
"At this stage, we would like more enterprise support. We use MongoDB a lot, and we're trying to get rid of MongoDB. So, I would like to see more features in the Cosmos DB API for MongoDB space."
"I would like to see Cosmos DB introduce a feature that would convert machine language to human-readable queries."
"It would be ideal if we could integrate Cosmos DB with our Databricks. At this point, that's not possible."
