Distributed SQL database designed for scalability and high availability

  • October 10, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Horizontal scalability of the cockroach DB allows us to add more nodes to the cluster easily based on the data growth.
Built-in high availability features that make it resilient to node failures using its automatic data replication and failover mechanism
What do you dislike about the product?
It is resource-intensive and consumes high CPU, memory, and storage. Sometimes there are latency issues too.
Setting up and configuring for the first time is a bit complex.
Also, it has a limited ecosystem
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High availability is the main problem that it solves and it has become geo-distributed applications where we were storing huge amounts of metadata that was required across the regions. Due to these, we were able to achieve low latency and high available across regions.

Great Open-Source Database Product

  • October 10, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have an option to evaluate this product using an open source option and take some university courses to educate myself on how to use the database product. From there, I can figure out which projects I plan to use it for (specifically anything business-related or personal / hobby projects).
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure as I am continuing to explore more of the product and I hope that there isn't too many limitations when it comes to adding specific data that I would need to create the database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that I can get started for free to evaluate CockroachDB right away. Although the limitation is up to 5GB, that is all I would really need for a starter project and for evaluation. Evidently, they also offer a pay-as-you-go plan, which is also similar to other companies.

Best postgre database

  • May 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Basically cockroachdb is easy to use and it is open source distributed database. It accepts complex architectures which makes it globally accepted. It's best feature is geo partitioning into it's clusters. Support team is so awesome that they solve problems in matter of minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though CockroachDB is an open source , there ain't any forum except stack overflow. It's setup is slightly complex from others. Other than that everything works fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CockroachDB for Distributed storage of complex data for high reliability and high performance.

Best in class

  • April 23, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
CockroachDB is the only database we could find that had a truly global architecture. CockroachDB speaks PostgreSQL, so it was very easy to integrate with our existing systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial pricing was very steep, however, this has since been addressed with their cloud-based free tier. Great for bootstrapping development. There is a small number of missing features from PostgreSQL, however, we have not needed any of these.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team was unable to find a database that scaled globally until we met the CockroachDB team. We can serve customers at near real-time from anywhere in the world, and never have to worry about whether our database implementation can handle it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CockroachDB is best in class for global databases. Chat to their team, they are amazing.

Easy to deploy fully distributed ACID database

  • April 22, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
How easy is to deploy a full distributed ACID database.
What do you dislike about the product?
Had to figure it later that some queries in your application aren't aligned with the system expectation causing production outages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of having a multi-region distributed ACID database with not that much operations maintenance.

A robust distributed db

  • March 28, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a distributed database and it is a opensourced product. It works really well in cloud environments like AWS, azure etc. The installation and configuration is fairly simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cockroach db should have been had a better compatibility with the application loadbalancers as well. Although it is used for the networking loadbalancers it has the downside of not routing on the app layer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using cockroach db for distributed database cluster for high availability and high performance. I am using it for building production grade applications.

Versatile SQL Based database

  • September 01, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about cockroach db is that it supports various datatypes not only the standard one.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not store timestamps properly and effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using CockroachDB to store dimensions and measures of data. It is simple to use, easily scalable and provide support for all data types like string, array etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation thoroughly before using and it supports all postgres syntax.

Highly scalable and available database for distributed data needs

  • December 29, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are many cool features like:
1. Live cluster scaling options
2. Geo partitioning
3. High availability
4. backup options
5. archiving of data
6. change data capture implementation
7. different topologies for different needs
8. ACID properties
9. Authentication model
and many more..
What do you dislike about the product?
Not exactly something I dislike but it certainly lacks consumer forums as of now because it is quite new in the market.
There are some features also that are missing in cockroach DB. Though it is coping up very good even after not having those but still sometimes those features are missed. These features include:
1. We can not write procedural code here (no support to PLSQL)
2. GIN index is a great feature but partitioning of GIN index is not yet supported
3. Some functions related to array that were present in postgres that makes the processing simpler are not available in cockroachDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a robust, highly scalable and a distributed database with very low read latency across multiple geographical locations. CockroachDB solves this in a very effective manner.
CockroachDB also support change data capture(CDC) on its own. We just need to redirect the CDC traffic to the end solution where we want to store our CDC data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a highly scalable, robust and high availability distributed database, You can always consider cockroachDB. Though the consumer forum is not that great as of now but the customer support is really quick and awesome.
