"You can use Citus Data to write complex scripts. I like its version upgrades and disaster recovery as well."
"The initial setup and deployment are simple."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities."
"I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases. We have four users and required 10 people for deployment and maintenance."
"The best feature of CockroachDB is the ability to keep the nodes in different locations."
"The availability and the easy to use feature is the most valuable. The documentation is also good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is node syncing, which takes only 0.54 milliseconds."
"The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported."
"The product has valuable security features."
"There are many areas of improvement , especially in terms of DDL query routing. Even though it's masterless, DDL queries need to be sent to the coordinator node. Also, setting up a multi-node environment could be more straightforward."
"More features in monitoring and the reporting could make it better."
"Citus Data needs to improve its stability. Do not consider this product if you have the budget. It is still developing and has a lot of issues."

"We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."
"The initial setup and pricing could be improved."
