We performed a comparison between Amazon DocumentDB and Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB 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."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."
"Amazon DocumentDB is a simple solution."
"Migrations are easy using this product."
"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."
"The best feature is the velocity to make a query."
"The solution is easy to use, and it is also easy to integrate with several things for database use cases."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is easy to use and implement for application programmers."
"It's highly scalable and supports consistency, security, and multiple security options."
"The solution's read capacity and write access functions are very fast so users don't have to wait when fetching or displaying data on a screen."
"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."
"The biggest benefit it offers is scalability. It's easier to work with concurrency and updating data."
"The technical support could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see Cosmos DB introduce a feature that would convert machine language to human-readable queries."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"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."
"Slight enhancements in integration interfaces, expanded dashboard functionalities, and broader use-case support would be beneficial."
"The support tickets are not cheap."
"It should offer a simple user interface for querying Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB."
"There is room for improvement in their customer support services."
"A further simple application is required for Brazil."
