We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Couchbase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am getting much better performance than relational databases."
"The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"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."
"A consistent solution."
"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application."
"The principal advantage of Couchbase is that we can have multiple database paradigms in the same product, without deploying multiple databases. We also like that it has lower latency, when compared to its competitor: Cassandra."
"I can input any kind of document into the solution and it is integrated using a dynamic API. This has been the most valuable aspect of using this solution."
"I have found the views to be very valuable."
"The valuable features of Couchbase are the many documents and index types, and they made a lot of features available enabling us to use it as a complete solution for our needs."
"It is pretty stable."
"The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The whole stack is valuable, but the portion of the stack that we're finding really handy is the analytics engine because that allows us to take and pre-build views."
"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."
"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."
"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."
"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."
"The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases."
"The failover and failback could be a bit easier. When I looked at it last time, it had to be manually done. It also took over an hour for us to rebalance all the nodes."
"We would like to have a better management of Kubernetes with the free, open source version of Couchbase. We don't have any major complaints other than that."
"One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved."
"There are some limitations to the database. The SQL database cannot handle real-time processing for critical IoT scenarios. What we have to do is store our data into the database then code it out, this wastes a lot of time."
"The scripting language for this solution could be improved. A big selling point is that they're like SQL server but there is still quite a lot of missing functionality."
"Needs some capacity planning to deal with too much memory, CPUs and displays."
"It's easy to deploy. Where the challenge comes in is when you start putting data in, doing the indexes, and doing the integration with systems. Integration is one of their weakest points. Natively, there should be a wide range of integration options to be able to get data in."
"The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process."
Cassandra is ranked 4th in NoSQL Databases with 19 reviews while Couchbase is ranked 2nd in NoSQL Databases with 10 reviews. Cassandra is rated 8.0, while Couchbase is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Cassandra writes "Well-equipped to handle a massive influx of data and billions of requests". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Couchbase writes "No SQL cloud based solution used to manage unstructured data and push out large volumes of metrics at a low latency". Cassandra is most compared with MongoDB, InfluxDB, ScyllaDB, Oracle NoSQL and DataStax, whereas Couchbase is most compared with MongoDB, ScyllaDB, CouchDB, Aerospike Database 7 and InfluxDB.
