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."
"It is a cloud-based solution that is easy to deploy, easy to access, and provides users with more features compared to other clouds like AWS and GCP."
"The solution is user friendly and Microsoft's technical support is good."
"The product has a lot of useful features that are there and ready to use, it's also very easy to use."
"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?"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is scalable with multiple master files."
"What I like about Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is that it's easy to do data ingestion and use the data in different applications. If you talk about business intelligence such as the Power BI tool, it's easy to connect because both are Microsoft products. With Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB, it's easy to connect and do data ingestion."
"Cosmos is a PaaS, so you don't need to worry about infrastructure and hosting. It has various APIs that allow it to integrate with other solutions. For example, we are using a MongoDB-compatible API for customers, which makes it easier for developers on the team who previously used MongoDB or are accustomed to the old document storage paradigm."
"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."
"Better documentation on how to integrate with other components would be helpful because I was struggling with this."
"I have been a devoted Microsoft fan, but Redis DB's memory caching capabilities are really making progress. Even if Cosmos DB is continuously improving and is quite advanced in the field of internal memory optimization, I would still recommend Redis DB to a customer."
"It's still new, and good training resources are harder to find. Even the most recent books on Cosmos DB are several years old, which is ancient in IT terms."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"In Microsoft manufacturing, managers really need to know about the product."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Slight enhancements in integration interfaces, expanded dashboard functionalities, and broader use-case support would be beneficial."
"The integration of the on-premise solution with the cloud can be difficult sometimes."
