Couchbase Other Advice

Asad Rizvi - PeerSpot reviewer

I would advise others to stick to the conventional libraries that you have or that are provided by Couchbase itself. I would advise against using third party solutions on top of Couchbase. Read through all the documentation to ensure you are aware of any conditions that are important to your environment.

Couchbase is user-friendly when compared to the other RDBMS that require maintenance to improve the queries. With Couchbase, everything comes in the document tree so we don't need to do any REORG or RUNSTATS.

I rate this solution nine out of 10 because it's more flexible and efficient and we can do automations on Couchbase in many ways.

Engage Couchbase-based technical staff soon and often. They're your best source of information. Don't struggle with trying to find it in the documentation because the online documentation is not intuitive. The other thing is to look at your data and see how your data is structured. Understand your data, and understand what you're trying to do from the get-go. Bring somebody on board who has experience implementing Couchbase. That has been a real help for us. We've got an on-staff SME with extensive background, but we also have a lot of communication with Couchbase itself. Couchbase presales have been good at helping us through things. So, use the resources that are there and engage them, and know your data—how it's structured and how you want to use it.

I'd rate it an eight out of ten. I don't like giving tens because nothing is ever perfect. There is also the difficulty of having to engage third parties outside of Couchbase to do the integration stuff, but overall, I'm very pleased and very happy with them.

I would rate Couchbase a seven out of ten. It's not a bad product but it depends what you're using to run it on. The time and effort that you need to spend learning the product and how to fine tune it wasn't worth it for us.

We have only tested deployment for Couchbase. It's just in POC, so it's still too early to tell if the deployment is easy or complex, until we have deployed it in a production environment. It's currently not deployed fully.

We hope that Couchbase is scalable, as there are some studies that we have seen that mention its scalability, but as it's only in POC now, it's still difficult to know for sure.

We have not interacted with technical support yet, so I'm not able to give an evaluation for Couchbase support.

For now, I cannot say if I would recommend this product to others. It's still too early, e.g. it's better if we use it for more months, so we can have more information about it.

I'm rating Couchbase nine out of ten. I didn't give it a perfect score because the implementation schemas need to be improved, and we don't have much data currently.

I plan to be using the enhanced version.

I would definitely recommend this solution to anyone who is interested in using it.

The enterprise version is a more stable version. The indexing is very powerful and the N1QL is especially useful when you come from an SQL background. It will be very powerful.

This is why I would recommend Couchbase. To this point, I have never needed anything extra added to it.

I am very happy with this solution, and I would rate Couchbase a nine out of ten.

Couchbase is a good solution to a lot of problems, but you will have to do your own research on it. It does have the scalability. It fits most of our needs. Though, the performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process.

We actually have not used it with AWS. We just purchased directly with them, and we have our own hardware. As part of our solution, we are now looking to move some of the solution to AWS. We want to provide solutions to our customers and package it as a product, and it feels like a lot of people are asking for cloud as an option. Therefore, we are looking into cloud deployments instead of on-premise deployments.

When considering a NoSQL database, I would recommend MongoDB as the first choice. However, if additional tools or functionalities are needed, then Couchbase may be a better option.
