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 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.""It can scale horizontally, and we are looking to expand our capacity.""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.""It is pretty stable.""I have found the views to be very valuable.""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."

"The tool is easy to learn.""NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go.""The tool performs well.""The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."

Cons
"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.""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.""The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process.""It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version.""Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature.""I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem.""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.""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."

More Couchbase Cons →

"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work.""The licensing model is bad.""The installation is difficult.""Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."

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."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer: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.
    Top Answer:Their security model leaves something to be desired. Their indexes could use some work, but once we found out what was going on with them, it became second. So, the biggest one so far is integrating… more »
    Top Answer:We're in the middle of building out a persistent cache layer using Couchbase. That's across multiple international regions, but we have other instances where we're using it for data stores and some… more »
    Top Answer:The licensing model is bad. We have changing demands. Sometimes we need more, sometimes less. Usually, we have to buy Oracle licenses, and then that's it. However, it might be different when we go to… more »

    Overview

    Couchbase is a versatile database solution for healthcare, automation, e-commerce, gaming, caching, and analytics. It supports 920 nodes and 420 clusters, making it scalable and extensible. Its valuable features include multiple database paradigms, low latency, dynamic API integration, Sync Gateway for mobile apps, and a user-friendly interface. 

    Couchbase has helped organizations with low latency metrics, large user updates, and cost-effective caching. Its built-in data replication and disaster recovery features make it a complete solution for various needs.

    The Oracle NoSQL Database (ONDB) provides network-accessible multiterabyte distributed key/value pair storage with predictable latency. Data is stored in a very flexible key-value format, where the key consists of the combination of a major and minor key (represented as a string) and an associated value (represented as a JSON data format or opaque set of bytes). It offers full Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations, with adjustable durability and consistency guarantees. It also provides powerful and flexible transactional model that eases the application development.

    The Oracle NoSQL Database is designed to be a highly available and extremely scalable system, with predictable levels of throughput and latency, while requiring minimal administrative interaction.
