Couchbase make life easy and fast in modern Open source Kubernetes cloud world

  • November 02, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
NOSQL Operation through couchbase is very fast . We used couchbase server for user profiling data store and fetch the same with < ms delay .
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess we need better performance for JOIN operators with huge volume of data. Couchbase is not known for Relational aspects but lot of business demand some relational data set . would be great fit if performance is fast enough
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We user Couchbase to save user profiling information . The mutation , fetch through standard Python SDK is superfast . We tested with 1000 concurrent user for parallel fetch and mutation and the performance is amazing < ms with very standard indexing storage
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sure I will recommend NOSQL solution wherever Couchbase is best fit for

the best nosql database

  • November 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
slq like queries, transactional queries, optimistic locks, reactive programming interfaces.
What do you dislike about the product?
complicated cluster management, you need a skilled administrator
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast access area for identity management handling, instant query response time for subsecond microservice response time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you only need a key value store then use redis if you need a document store that allows you advanced features such as sql like queries, transactional boundaries, sub-object retrieval, optimistic lock, superior response time capability, and much more then you need couchbase.

Great NoSQL Server, flexible and easy to manage

  • November 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The NoSQL Couchbase Database server , is highly flexible in the usage and configuration. You can easily go from a community server to a licensed one. Great customer service, their support and assessment have been highly valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great to have more certifications on their side, so we can have more developers that we can be sure that have more knowledge of the platform. Right now, is more hit-or-miss with developers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used it for our internal developments, for Product Catalog developments, and some time-series database solutions. The benefits are the flexibility and support for the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider Couchbase when you need a document-based noSQL Server. It is recommended highly above MongoDB, because of support, ease of use, and great flexibility and tools. Finding developers that know about the platform could be a little difficult, but it is very easy to learn.

Very easy to use, with options that are flexible to customize and meet the needs/requirements. Other competitors have limitations whereas more can be done here if you take the time to understand how to use the available tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific I dislike about couchbase. Perhaps more documentation could be available and interactive training user interfaces might make it easier to start using the tools much quicker versus having no experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexibility with other options for database platform. Benefits allow ease of integration with other third party tools and resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Need to scale and minimize data storage infrastructure?

  • November 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Couchbase provides a really great toolset to support data/search/caching and an ability to scale. Typically you need multiple infrastructure components to support such capability, with Couchbase it’s all in one.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coming up to speed and sizing, and learning to monitor your environment requires training and working closely with Couchbase support. It is imperative to understand operation of Couchbase to be successful. I don’t specifically dislike that, but it is an important aspect of implementation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the most recent implementation, the Couchbase cluster supports global metadata and orders from 3rd parties. Additionally FTS provides fast searches to enable good user experience.

Proven reliability for the multi-tier CRM backend solutions

  • October 23, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Couchbase along with a multi-tier CRM backend for hundreds of our customers and never had a headache with it: simple to configure, easy-to-use CLI and clear documentation makes it a valuable part of our backend system.

It is low enough on VM resources consumption and single instance handles a few backend environments, seemlessly.
It is also easy to work with Couchbase in local environments: both linux and windows distributions are available.

I can definately recommend this tool as a cache service for your products: self-hosted or in the cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to say about the disadvantages of it. Maintenance and deployment are easy, experience was good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a cache server for user login session tokens and some static content.

Optimized database calls back to on-prem utilizing cloud hybrid model. Also the Caching and Session Management dramatically reduce our common database calls.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inconsistent memory, CPU consumption pattern which took some time optimize resulting in outages during large calls. However, we were able to resolve these issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During peak usage time calls to databases caused latency and redundant calls needed to be eliminated. Couchbase in memory Caching and Session management was the optimal solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider long-term scalability and cloud migration

Couchbase for everyone

  • October 14, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Query lang N1QL is convinient, detailed and very fast.
Faster key-value storage.
Integration with other platforms viz Elasticsearch.
Scalable across multiple locations.

Couchbase has been quite a usable for our implementation. We had similar experience with our previous "trial" implementation, however it was short lived.
Couchbase has so far exceeded expectation. Our implementation team is more confident than ever before.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're still evaluating the business outcome, so far we are observing inconsistent resource utilization (viz memory, cpu), may be we need to optimize further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a multi-region multi-cloud Infra statistics storage platform for Analytics and Decision making. So far it has solved the purpose of multi-region multi-cloud Infra statistics storage.

We're using couchbase to gather Infra health, stats for near real time analytics, to make decisions to scale out or up the Infra.
We have more than 40K servers in our Infra, both virtual and physical. We've historically had slow processes, to reading performance statistics from each of them and analyzing them. Before we could react to a need for server upscale, an incident would have happened. This is where we tried other solutions and are currently using Couchbase. We are able to load vast amount of data every second and come up with near real time decisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation would be for scenarios with real time analysis where we are satisfied. I'm not yet able to provide recommendation to scenarios which involve real time processing, I'm also less knowledgeable here.
