Best in class
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.
Powerfull DB as services
What do you like best about the product?
CockroachDB have best support and response very fast
What do you dislike about the product?
Still don't have respective support in indonesia
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large data handle by CockroachDB and have powerfull DB and less latency
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If have large data cockrach will help with low latency
Easy to deploy fully distributed ACID database
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
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
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
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.
Experience was good but found few performance issue when compared to mysql
What do you like best about the product?
Found good as distributed, and gets updates frequently
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance issue regarding transactional support with java
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not solving any problems of cockroach. Used with containerized apps which is great.
Perfect Distributed SQL DB for ACID consistent transactions requirement
What do you like best about the product?
There are multiple benefits of using CockroachDB, however, some of the best features which I like the most are: Ideal for ACID consistent transaction requirement, create multiple data copies across multiple nodes to provide the highest availability in case some other node goes down or fails. Robust SQL Interface, don't need to learn a new dialect for administering data. You can easily scale it and couple it as per your application necessities without much hectic as it balances data automatically as more nodes are added. Operational Simplicity is another great benefit of using CockroachDB. Due to which a cluster can easily be started using a few commands along with data replication to multiple regions. Focus on taking advantage of cloud scale and developed primarily for cloud-based applications making it perfect for modern-day requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it supports most of the Postgres SQL dialect, still it lacks support for some very useful Postgres queries which is a major drawback. Moreover, as the complexity increases it can lead to difficulty in large-scale data querying and can cause frequent crashes. Due to the major focus encompassing strong consistency & availability it results in multiple data replication. Overall the performance becomes considerably slow which can be a major drawback depending on the application requirements and architecture.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CockroachDB ensures the highest data availability which is the most crucial requirement for some use-cases. It creates multiple data replications across multiple regions, so that system data remains available irrespective of any disaster/ node failure. Moreover, it presents a very easy mechanism to scale nodes and simply engage with the existing architecture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent choice for applications requirement focusing around maximum availability and strongly consistent ACID transactions.
Just Like Cockroach its hard to kill.
What do you like best about the product?
I like it auto replicating which makes it hard to kill.
We are using this where high traffic is going on , so if one node crash we are still operational.
And it's SQL is just like postgreDB.
It can be used on heavy traffic project.
It's Auto replication features provide high abilities.
