Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data.""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.""Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application.""The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use.""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 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.""The main advantages were associated with it being a no SQL database. It helped us send out metrics or rewards to multiple players in our game at a very low latency."

More Couchbase Pros →

"The rules can show us if there are missing items, like titles, and we can add them in to ensure everything is filled and makes sense and there are no missing details.""MarkLogic's greatest asset is its strong engineering foundation. It was specifically designed with search capabilities in mind, and the developers placed a great emphasis on ensuring the quality of the indexing and all subsequent layers that were added."

Cons
"I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem.""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.""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.""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.""One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved.""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.""It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version."

More Couchbase Cons →

"One of the most common requests is to improve the user interface of the database. While it is primarily a database, there are other databases available that offer more user-friendly interfaces. The UI is good for developers but not for regular users. More visuals would be beneficial.""The spreadsheet capabilities could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of this solution is better than some of the other competitors."
  • "We estimate that it's not very expensive, however, the pricing that you can get from the account managers, e.g. the public pricing, could be a bit expensive."
  • "I wouldn't say Couchbase offers good value for money."
  • "It seems very reasonable. It's a lot cheaper than Redis, but we've got an enterprise license. So, it's about normal. It's not outrageous in price as far as we've seen. From Couchbase, there's no additional fee as far as I'm aware, but when you're integrating, there's an additional fee because a lot of times, they don't have an integration stack."
  • "I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing as it is affordable."
  • More Couchbase Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "MarkLogic is a pricey option, but there are some advantages to its pricing structure. For medium-sized clients or departments within larger companies, it is possible to obtain a license for one or two nodes for less than a hundred thousand dollars. Additionally, if you only need to deploy a single node, you can do so for under fifty thousand dollars. This is in contrast to other high-quality software options that are only accessible to larger businesses, where the starting price can be upwards of two hundred thousand dollars."

    Top Answer:The spreadsheet capabilities could be improved. We need to convert spreadsheets into an open XML format. We have to do a few levels of conversions before we convert the data into the information we… more »
