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."
"The solution is easy to use, and it is also easy to integrate with several things for database use cases."
"It works reasonably fast. You can retain the original format of the document as received by the third-party system."
"I like the scalability. There aren't any constraints for posting in the geolocation. I also like the SQL architecture."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB were the general infrastructure, ease to use, and interface."
"Cosmos DB is stable and easy to use."
"From a global distribution perspective, Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is good and easy to handle."
"One of the nice features is the ability to auto-scale"
"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."
"It's still new, and good training resources are harder to find. Even the most recent books on Cosmos DB are several years old, which is ancient in IT terms."
"It would be nice to have more options to ingest the data, for example, more file options or more search options. Currently, you can use JSON, but if there were other file types you can use for data ingestion, that would be nice."
"The pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings."
"The API compatibility has room for improvement, particularly integration with MongoDB. You have to connect to a specific flavor of MongoDB. We'd also like a richer query capability in line with the latest Mongo features. That is one thing on our wish list. The current version is good enough for our use case, but it could be improved."
"The biggest problem is the learning curve and other database services like RDS."
"It should offer a simple user interface for querying Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB."
"The query is a little complex. SQL server should have more options. But the query should be better."
