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 most valuable features of Cassandra are the NoSQL database, high performance, and zero-copy streaming."
"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"I am satisfied with the performance."
"Our primary use case for the solution is testing."
"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."
"The most valuable feature of Cassandra is its fast retrieval. Additionally, the solution can handle large amounts of data. It is the quickest application we use."
"I don't like using Apache HBase to store huge amounts of data because of many performance issues."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
"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."
"Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"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."
"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."
"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."
"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."
