Find out in this report how the two Managed NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Bigtable is faster than other competitors in the market. It helps us collate all the data, and the security features are great. The latency is low, and the computation speed is fantastic. Bigtable is also a managed service, so you don't have to worry about anything aside from analyzing the data ingested."
"Stability-wise, it is a simple solution. I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"It's very user-friendly where streaming data is required."
"The most valuable feature is the backup and replication service."
"The solution is very convenient."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB were the general infrastructure, ease to use, and interface."
"rate Azure support nine out of 10. They respond quickly and will help you manage costs. However, they mainly give you an overview of the issue, so they'll never have an in-depth idea of what you're doing. They aren't the owners of our product, so they don't know much about it, but they can ask you generally: What are you doing? Are you doing too many updates? How can we reduce the cost?"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is scalable with multiple master files."
"With Azure you can start small and grow as you need."
"From a global distribution perspective, Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is good and easy to handle."
"It is a NoSQL database."
"The most valuable features for our organization with Azure Cosmos DB are multi-master capability for applications, automatic failover ensuring high availability, scalability, support for multiple data models, and low-latency access."
"The solution is easy to use, and it is also easy to integrate with several things for database use cases."
"The lagging problem of the product I face is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I've used Bigtable for about three or four years."
"The cost of this product is too expensive."
"When it comes to complex queries, a user can't get any help from a drop-down box and pick columns. It would be great if some improvements could be made in the aforementioned area concerning the solution."
"This product needs better security and transparency, and the price should be reduced."
"Improvement should be made as per customer recommended and requirements."
"The biggest problem is the learning curve and other database services like RDS."
"I would like to see Cosmos DB introduce a feature that would convert machine language to human-readable queries."
"We should have more freedom to tweak it and make our own queries for non-traditional use-cases."
"The built-in integration of the solution is tight."
"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 tool's pricing is expensive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The integration of the on-premise solution with the cloud can be difficult sometimes."
