We performed a comparison between Couchbase and SingleStore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, InfluxData and others in NoSQL Databases."The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"It can scale horizontally, and we are looking to expand our capacity."
"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."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"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."
"One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved."
"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."
"Needs some capacity planning to deal with too much memory, CPUs and displays."
"The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process."
"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."
"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."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
Couchbase is ranked 2nd in NoSQL Databases with 10 reviews while SingleStore is ranked 6th in Database as a Service with 7 reviews. Couchbase is rated 8.2, while SingleStore is rated 8.8.
