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."
"Cosmos DB is a pretty stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB's most valuable feature is latency."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The graphical representation of data is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"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?"
"It's not a specific feature that I value, but the scalability of this system is the most impressive aspect."
"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."
"I like the scalability. There aren't any constraints for posting in the geolocation. I also like the SQL architecture."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB's performance could be better. In large volumes of documents, the querying process becomes slow and complicated."
"I have to say technical support is not very good as it takes too long. Sometimes it can take them two or three days to respond to your ticket."
"The built-in integration of the solution is tight."
"The pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings."
"A couple features that would help me in architectural solutions would be customizable architecture or customizable documentation, which both Microsoft Azure or Microsoft Teams can provide."
"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."
"We should have more freedom to tweak it and make our own queries for non-traditional use-cases."
"The initial setup was difficult."
