Good GUI, easy to learn, and simple to install
The architecture is complex. I do understand that. However, the GUI is very user-friendly. Sometimes all these things are a little difficult to understand for a person who is not experienced in Couchbase. There is a constant requirement to upgrade the versions. We need to constantly keep on upgrading the latest version for the newest one. Currently, we are dealing with an issue where some of the servers are on the 6.5 version, and a few have moved to 7.5. So we are in a mixed mode right now. We are having a high IO issue on our servers, which we are already dealing with. We have these cases with Couchbase, with Red Hat, et cetera. We feel like this constant need to upgrade is something that is very mundane yet a very difficult task. If you have three clusters, which have around thirty nodes, the data is quite sensitive. Whenever there is Couchbase upgrade that is going on, we see that our SR is dropped. The purchase rate and success rate drop. This affects our business and the clients. Rebalancing could be improved. I find it to be a very slow process when it comes to rebalancing the clusters. If you talk about other architectures like Oracle, they are pretty fast. Couchbase is a little slower. Rebalancing, taking the node out, doing the upgrade, putting it back, rebalancing it, is a very difficult and cumbersome. For Oracle, we have been running on version 19.5 for the past five years. There were absolutely no issues. Yet for Couchbase, every six months, we have to go do the upgrade.

Automated reporting has freed time for deeper analysis and improved budget and variance reviews
A specific example of how my team uses Cube in our day-to-day work is that above all, Cube has vastly enhanced our ability to get financial reporting done quickly and free up our time to really dig deep into various accounts. This has greatly improved the accuracy of our financial results beyond what you would even believe. The clean portal and organization help my team by making it easy to navigate and the data collected is very clean and managed in an understandable manner, hence making it very easy to make data-driven decisions. Regarding the features, customer service is great, customization of financial reports, ease of integration with other tools seamlessly, continuous system testing and upgrades, and easy creation of monthly and P&L variance analysis. Data import and export is smooth and efficient. Monthly reporting and analysis is easy to pull and update. The positive impact Cube has had on my organization includes additional time for analysis, less than budgeted spend, and more accurate financial results resulting in better decisions. The error rate has reduced from 40 to 50%. The reduction in errors has affected my team and the business overall by improving speed and efficiency for month-end close processes. Better consolidation of data for long-term trend analysis is evident, and easy P&L creation and variance analysis has been great.
