High performance, high reliability

  • February 22, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's super performant and very reliable. There is a DCP (database change protocol) which can be used to react to mutations. This is very useful for any streaming use cases including integrations
What do you dislike about the product?
No materialised views. No out of the box odbc or jdbc connectors. You have to buy these from 3rd party vendors at high prices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for a wide range of operational systems which serve front end and back end applications. There is no tolerance for lost data and we read and write at massive scale. We persist everything to disk and maintain around 90% of keys in memory for fast access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the analytics and eventing modules. They are very powerful

we use couchbase as our transactional database for a complex system. All of our APIs run on top of couchbase DB.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your use case is for a fast document based database which needs to be queried, this is a database for you. It also has mobile sync capability.

At this time, it is a bit of a learning curve if you come from RDMS environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems we are trying to solve are related to visibility solutions for several of our customer applications and having a good storage environment.

Decent Database for JSON data

  • January 11, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is very simple and has no complex configuration. It stores data in different buckets, similar to tables in RDBMS. It provides bucket to bucket sync or cluster level to diff cluster level sync using XDCR, which helps in syncing or moving data. As it saves data in JSON format, it's really easy to structure data in couchbase. It works on the N1ql query and provides suggestions for index too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike, its response time, we faced lots of issues in reducing the query time, even though we have created all the necessary indexes, still, the response time was high. Another thing where we faced an issue was in eventing functionality, as the proper log is not displayed on UI, it's difficult to understand for which document the eventing worked or not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have built a consumer app, where users create documents, which we save in couchbase DB, and further, read it back when requires. It helped us in creating the app quickly, as it is very easy to start working on couchbase. They also provide a cloud version of couchbase, which is easy to configure.

Easy to use and well documented, issues when dealing with larger data

  • June 07, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's pretty fast, indexing and all can be done with just one line and it makes the queries execute 100 times faster. And the best thing I find is the documentation, many times I come across a new usecase and am unable to implement then I look for that in the documentation and find all the answers to all the usecase I had.

Doesn't perform well when data increases, lot of times I get ambiguous timeout exceptions.

Couchbase UI is also very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Please make it efficient when dealing with large data. By large I mean at least with 50k records it should perform well.

Not dislike but one improvement I would suggest is -
Give a builtin mechanism to handle concurrent updates to a document in db.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on a usecase where millions of records will be saved in db and they need to be fetched many times and filter them based on some inner field or a value inside an array. Couchbase gives solution to this in the form of "unnest".
And with proper indexing queries works pretty fast too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it only if you have write - write requirements. Otherwise for fetching data at scale its not that efficient.

Couchbase Server has a user friendly UI and all it needs is a basic knowledge of SQL query.

  • June 06, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I loved Couchbase because :
1. We can query it using SQL queries.
2. Monitoring is quite easy as we have Dashboard which and Statistics section which gives a good knowledge of the CPU utilisation.
3. Query monitor is another great tool which tells which query is faking most of the CPU time.Hence developer can use this tool to know which query is problematic and focus on fixing the same.
4. Index creation is easy and simple. We have Indexes , where we can view all the created indexes. We can also use Statistics section to know which Index is getting used and which is not.
5. The Bucket section provides all necessary information like which bucket has how many documents.
6. Statistics/Server section is very helpful as it can gives us the insight of how many ops/sec a bucket is receiving.
7. Now we have Query Advisor , which gives advise us on what index is more appropriate for a query. This saves a lot of CPU memory.
8. Document insertion , deletion and updation is easy as we have UI for it.
9. Query execution section provides all information for monitoring like query execution time, indexes used , document affected etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. We cannot create more than 10 buckets.
2. If there is no Index created on a bucket, the queries on bucket would return empty response rather than user friendly messages describing root cause.
3. Buckets having huge documents takes time to query and usually times out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We uses Couchbase for storing huge amount of data undergoing frequent updates ans Couchbase turned out to be really amazing for this purpose.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Couchbase Server when you are looking for a NoSql database that can easily integrate with programming languages like for example Java.
