We performed a comparison between Apache HBase and Cassandra based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, InfluxData and others in NoSQL Databases."Apache HBase is a database used for data storage."
"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"A consistent solution."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"Cassandra is good. It's better than CouchDB, and we are using it in parallel with CouchDB. Cassandra looks better and is more user-friendly."
"Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."
"The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing."
"I am satisfied with the performance."
"I don't like using Apache HBase to store huge amounts of data because of many performance issues."
"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."
"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."
"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."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."
"It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
Apache HBase is ranked 10th in NoSQL Databases with 1 review while Cassandra is ranked 4th in NoSQL Databases with 19 reviews. Apache HBase is rated 4.0, while Cassandra is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Apache HBase writes "The solution has many performance issues, though it helps manage consumer data sets". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Cassandra writes "Well-equipped to handle a massive influx of data and billions of requests". Apache HBase is most compared with Accumulo, ScyllaDB, MongoDB, Aerospike Database 7 and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop, whereas Cassandra is most compared with Couchbase, InfluxDB, MongoDB, ScyllaDB and Aerospike Database 7.
