We performed a comparison between Amazon DocumentDB and Amazon DynamoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Migrations are easy using this product."
"Its speed has had the most significant impact on our projects. For starters, we used it for its flexibility. With DocumentDB, you're not tied to a rigid structure like you are with Aurora or other relational databases. This makes it great for startups."
"It is a NoSQL product."
"Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that stores unstructured data and provides high performance."
"Storing is a valuable feature. We can store as an entire object rather than the traditional structure of the data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the non-relational database."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. I've never faced any problems."
"It offers quick performance and rapid data retrieval, often providing limited data initially but scaling up to fulfill larger demands seamlessly."
"It has helped us build our product from zero point to the end."
"The best feature is NoSQL."
"One possible improvement could be a hybrid database solution, where parts of the application leverage a relational database alongside DocumentDB. If a system were heavily relational in nature, a database like PostgreSQL might be a good fit."
"There's a bit of a learning curve at the beginning."
"The primary key is quite slow."
"Having an import option, whether through browsing or local file uploads, would significantly improve the efficiency of data migration, enabling users to swiftly transfer large volumes of data into DynamoDB."
"Sometimes when we query through the UI, it takes a long time to get the results."
"In future releases, I would like a feature that lets us store information about public holidays or weekends. When customers call during those closed periods, we could use DynamoDB to trigger an automatic message. So this would eliminate the need for agents to manually inform customers."
"Querying data on the solution is quite limited, but this is like any other NoSQL database. It's the most common criticism of the NoSQL database in general."
"The solution's backup and restore could be improved to be able to utilize batch operations."
"Amazon DynamoDB could improve by being more robust, having a better user interface and data management. Additionally, there is some limited functionality compared to other solutions, such as MongoDB."
"The documentation is not good enough."
