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.

Access data faster more efficiently by levering Couchase Caching and Session Management

  • October 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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

Great platform, so engaging and friendly

  • October 14, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The way the platform is able to update documents and make micro-changes is great, they have reliable high-speed uploads, and overall performance worked as well as can be expected. Couchbase is a great database and it is reliable, affordable, secure, and mostly easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times it can be a bit cumbersome but overall it is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps to provide a singular place for all documents to live and be edited by collaborative teams
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just use it!

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.

Couchbase Server delivers on the promise of rapid microservice development in the cloud

  • September 08, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Couchbase Server makes continuous delivery of microservices in the cloud very easy with its schemaless approach to JSON data. For most cases, it's as simple as just deploying a new microservice version, no DDL changes required at all prior to deployment. We're also very excited about the forthcoming scopes/collections feature and how that may help us more easily ensure data separation between microservices.

Couchbase's memory-first architecture flat cluster topology also deliver on performance, especially for transactional data with significant mutation rates.

The N1QL query language is great to work with because it's so SQL-like, and much easier for developers to learn and reason about than other NoSQL platforms while also being more feature-rich.

On the IT operations side, managing the cluster itself is made incredibly easy using Couchbase Cloud or the Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes. The architecture itself also makes things easier, with auto sharding and no need to configure read-replicas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The full-text search system is great for small-scale operations, but is still a somewhat young product offering. In some cases, use of a separate system like Elasticsearch is warranted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Couchbase has allowed us to operate at scale with low-to-zero downtime for maintenance in a continuous delivery microservices architecture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When implementing a Couchbase Server proof-of-concept, the learning curve can be slightly steep compared to more traditional RDBMS systems. However, the curve is typically less steep with Couchbase than with other NoSQL platforms. There is a great community online on their forums and Gitter that can help with any questions during a proof-of-concept phase.

It is really good. Easy to learn

  • August 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best NOSQL db to use. Easy to learn. Especially document creation.
What do you dislike about the product?
We cannot replicate large db in couchbase
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It can be integrated with any technology.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We cannot implement logic in couchbase. Should be handled in code.

Cool Tool

  • August 03, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really love the N1QL module, which allows you to use SQL like syntax to work with documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't say I dislike it, but I'd like for better docker support, since right now it's a bit difficult to automate the setup of a docker container. I'd also like to see an in memory version of couchbase to use for testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used couchbase for geolocation queries as well as a standard database.
