We performed a comparison between Apache HBase and Cassandra based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, InfluxData and others in NoSQL Databases."Apache HBase is a database used for data storage."
"Our primary use case for the solution is testing."
"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."
"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."
"Cassandra is good. It's better than CouchDB, and we are using it in parallel with CouchDB. Cassandra looks better and is more user-friendly."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing."
"The most valuable feature of Cassandra is its fast retrieval. Additionally, the solution can handle large amounts of data. It is the quickest application we use."
"The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"I don't like using Apache HBase to store huge amounts of data because of many performance issues."
"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."
"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."
"There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK."
"Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"Fine-tuning was a bit of a challenge."
Apache HBase is ranked 10th in NoSQL Databases with 1 review while Cassandra is ranked 4th in NoSQL Databases with 19 reviews. Apache HBase is rated 4.0, while Cassandra is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Apache HBase writes "The solution has many performance issues, though it helps manage consumer data sets". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Cassandra writes "Well-equipped to handle a massive influx of data and billions of requests". Apache HBase is most compared with Accumulo, ScyllaDB, MongoDB, Aerospike Database 7 and CouchDB, whereas Cassandra is most compared with Couchbase, InfluxDB, MongoDB, ScyllaDB and Aerospike Database 7.
