We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop 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."We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"I don't see any performance issues."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that."
"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application."
"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."
"It can scale horizontally, and we are looking to expand our capacity."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data."
"The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"It is highly available for support and does not impact our operations significantly during failures."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"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."
"The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process."
"Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature."
"It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version."
"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."
"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."
"I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem."
