Great for simple data models
What do you like best about the product?
Xamarin integration was easy to setup and implement
What do you dislike about the product?
With the update to 1.2v it is difficult to implement new features like pre installed databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Document database storing for simple objects. Quick and easy to setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the 1.1v till new features are documented in the 1.2v. We were trying to use pre installed databases with Xamarin and it wasn't working properly, possibly the Xamarin component.

Blending KV store and structured queries in highly multi-tenanted enterprise SaaS app
What do you like best about the product?
We like the raw performance of the KV store, but with the flexibility to run structured queries across json documents using N1QL. Version 4.0 brings secondary indexes which allow us to boost performance and reduce our need for the map-reduce views. CouchBase also allows the developers to choose the consistency expectations per call this enables us to take advantage of high performing calls when consistency is less important. CouchBase is ridiculously easy to setup, manage, add/remove nodes, rebalance etc. The dashboard gives you detailed insight into the cluster, which reduces the management overhead.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little so far, some minor bugs in the Java SDK, but we have been pretty much on the bleeding edge for releases in our development process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Highly scalable metadata store, with the need for high geographic distribution.
We have benefited from reduced development and devops costs.

Decent solution for key-value or document datastore
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install, manage, and maintain. Very fast reads. Cloud-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
In case you need to access anything in any other way than by key, it is challenging. Views / indexes are slow, even in version 3.0 where Couchbase claims huge performance improvement in that area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly using Couchbase as a persistent cache. I do not see much benefits vs. Cassandra which is our primary noSQL solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Couchbase is great when you use it right - great persistent cache for documents / key-value store; not a replacement for a relational database. Also, if you plan on using ad-hoc queries, consider some other noSQL product, such as Cassandra.
Thanks!
Extremely easy to setup and use, for every kind of instance. If you don't know the couchbase Administrator password it is the new instance id (i-xxxxxxx).
Amazon Linux version isn't the latest, but running "yum upgrade" all works great without any compatibility problem.
Thank you!
