We performed a comparison between Couchbase and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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."
"The main advantages were associated with it being a no SQL database. It helped us send out metrics or rewards to multiple players in our game at a very low latency."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data."
"Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application."
"The Vertica architecture means it can process/ingest data in parallel to reporting and analyzing because of its in-memory Write-Optimized Storage sitting alongside the analytics optimized Read-Optimized Storage."
"Its analytics has enabled Pythian's clients to get the business insights as quick as they wanted. Its lower maintenance has also improved the ROI."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"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."
"Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature."
"The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process."
"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."
"I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem."
"It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version."
"One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved."
"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."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"Vertica seems to scale well, except for one use case where you are on a multi-node cluster. For example, if you had a nine-node cluster, one node goes down, then the eight nodes don't scale, because the absence of the node is very apparent, which is a problem. If you have nine nodes or multiple nodes, the whole idea is that if one of those nodes goes down, then you should not see an impact on the system if you have enough capacity. Even though we have enough capacity, you can still see the impact of the one node going down."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
