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."
"The use of Cassandra in real-time data analytics has been pivotal for our e-commerce platform. As our platform operates 24/7, providing services to sellers and customers alike, the need for real-time updates is paramount."
"The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"The most valuable features of Cassandra are the NoSQL database, high performance, and zero-copy streaming."
"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."
"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."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."
"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."
"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 secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."
