Kevin Shah - PeerSpot reviewer

Browser-based SQL access has streamlined team collaboration but still needs faster queries and better ML integration
CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down. Compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether. That needs to be maintained. Even there is no connectivity of machine learning, MLflow kind of thing where Airflow or PySpark approaches can be integrated. Python pipelines can be created but the whole end-to-end machine learning pipeline gets stuck whenever we work out with DBeaver. That again is one of the issues that I would look out for to improve. Also, I need to maintain the infrastructure perfectly here. I need to manage it and need to identify the risks as well. The whole proper setup of VPCs or IAMs needs to be done. It is not a NLQ kind of thing. User queries need to be configured in manual approaches, not automated currently. It should be automated now. Debugging is very painful. That again is a vague approach here. Errors can be executed and we will not be getting out the clarity as well. During this whole approach, the logs are not perfect and intuitive and debugging is also very limited. The user interface and documentation look good, but I would still suggest improvements.

Provides developer-friendly environment with robust security and cost-efficiency
The platform should provide a UI feature where users have the ability to manage it. The CockroachDB platform should have a chatbot where users can inquire about pricing or seek solutions for queries, rather than relying on email support. The current UI only provides SQL playground, which is technical. There should be a UI playground where users with limited technical knowledge can run and update queries, similar to phpMyAdmin or Adminer. Latency optimization could be improved for globally distributed applications, particularly in query routing. For multi-region deployment, CockroachDB requires at least three plus replicas across data centers to achieve strong consistency across regions, which increases infrastructure costs including compute, storage, and networking. The disadvantages include cost-efficiency with multi-region deployment and schema migration speed, which should be faster compared to other drivers. The query optimizer should handle complex queries better through the UI interface.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since using CloudBeaver AWS, my organization has experienced many positive outcomes."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted our organization in terms of productivity and value addition by reducing the burden of connecting to the database."
"I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases."
"The initial setup and deployment are simple."
"The best feature of CockroachDB is the ability to keep the nodes in different locations."
"The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported."
"The product has valuable security features."
"The availability and the easy to use feature is the most valuable. The documentation is also good."
"The initial setup and deployment are simple."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities."
 

Cons

"CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down; compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether."
"While CloudBeaver AWS meets most of our needs, there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"I find the serverless offer a bit confusing."
"The platform could be more extensible."
"I would like CockroachDB to have more compatibility with PostgreSQL, especially with the connection string and technical integrations."
"We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."
"Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network."
"The initial setup and pricing could be improved."
"CockroachDB needs to improve store processes."
"I think the engine itself could be improved. If you miss a partition key, it should be able to be modeled. This is where AI could be really helpful. For example, if a user is from Australia, the system should know to look for their data there first instead of searching in the US or another continent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price depends on the user's company and the contract model they enter into with CockroachDB. Depending on the contract model one enters into with CockroachDB, the product may or may not be expensive."
"I've used CockroachDB at a small scale on the free accounts because we are only testing."
"The pricing is good but can be made cheaper. I would rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is not cheap. However, the good thing is that customers are willing to pay for it if they want it."
"The platform is affordable even for the enterprise version. It provides value for investment in terms of performance."
