Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data.""The whole stack is valuable, but the portion of the stack that we're finding really handy is the analytics engine because that allows us to take and pre-build views.""I can input any kind of document into the solution and it is integrated using a dynamic API. This has been the most valuable aspect of using this solution.""It can scale horizontally, and we are looking to expand our capacity.""The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use.""The principal advantage of Couchbase is that we can have multiple database paradigms in the same product, without deploying multiple databases. We also like that it has lower latency, when compared to its competitor: Cassandra.""Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application.""The valuable features of Couchbase are the many documents and index types, and they made a lot of features available enabling us to use it as a complete solution for our needs."

More Couchbase Pros →

"The underlying hardware that IBM provides with this appliance is made for a specific purpose, to serve performance on a large amount of data, and to do analytics as well. It is faster, when you compare it to any other product.""Distribution concurrency control.""We are able to execute very complex queries. Over 90 percent of our query executions are one second or less. We do millions of queries everyday.""The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance.""The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format.""IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution.""The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly.""The benefit is really because of the additional speed that we have and, truth be told, the more updated ETL processes and the revamped scheduler in general."

Cons
"Needs some capacity planning to deal with too much memory, CPUs and displays.""It's easy to deploy. Where the challenge comes in is when you start putting data in, doing the indexes, and doing the integration with systems. Integration is one of their weakest points. Natively, there should be a wide range of integration options to be able to get data in.""There are some limitations to the database. The SQL database cannot handle real-time processing for critical IoT scenarios. What we have to do is store our data into the database then code it out, this wastes a lot of time.""Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature.""We would like to have a better management of Kubernetes with the free, open source version of Couchbase. We don't have any major complaints other than that.""The failover and failback could be a bit easier. When I looked at it last time, it had to be manually done. It also took over an hour for us to rebalance all the nodes.""The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process.""The scripting language for this solution could be improved. A big selling point is that they're like SQL server but there is still quite a lot of missing functionality."

More Couchbase Cons →

"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance.""In terms of features that I would like to see, one is the ability to actually scale out an architecture. Right now, if you buy one, it's fixed. There is no scale-up availability at all.""Our main problem with it is concurrency. When there are too many users running Netezza at the same time, this is when we have the most complaints.""Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server.""We are not able to scale. The only way to scale is to get another appliance, but we have a customers who would need us to hydrate the data between the two appliances, and Netezza does not do that.""The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough.""Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat.""IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of this solution is better than some of the other competitors."
  • "We estimate that it's not very expensive, however, the pricing that you can get from the account managers, e.g. the public pricing, could be a bit expensive."
  • "I wouldn't say Couchbase offers good value for money."
  • "It seems very reasonable. It's a lot cheaper than Redis, but we've got an enterprise license. So, it's about normal. It's not outrageous in price as far as we've seen. From Couchbase, there's no additional fee as far as I'm aware, but when you're integrating, there's an additional fee because a lot of times, they don't have an integration stack."
  • "I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing as it is affordable."
  • More Couchbase Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Netezza is a costly solution. It does serve a specific purpose but it's costlier than what's available in the market, if you go to the cloud."
  • "The pricing is very expensive. It has a lot CPUs with a lot of components in it. It also has built-in redundancy for resiliency reasons."
  • "The solution has a yearly licensing fee, and users have to pay extra for support."
