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."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 most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing."
"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."
"I am satisfied with the performance."
"The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"Cassandra is good. It's better than CouchDB, and we are using it in parallel with CouchDB. Cassandra looks better and is more user-friendly."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"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 have found the views to be very valuable."
"Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application."
"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 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."
"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."
"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."
"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."
"Interface is not user friendly."
"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."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."
"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 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."
"It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version."
"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."
"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."
"Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature."
"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."
"Needs some capacity planning to deal with too much memory, CPUs and displays."
"I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem."
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 InfluxDB, MongoDB, ScyllaDB, Oracle NoSQL and Neo4j Graph Database, whereas Couchbase is most compared with MongoDB, ScyllaDB, CouchDB, Aerospike Database 7 and InfluxDB.
