Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

In our current project, we use this solution in the healthcare field for the telemedical industry and in other projects in the automation industry.

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has been reliable and stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not attempted to scale the solution at this time because we are a large company that needs more security. We are in the early stages of integrating DTS technology, our chosen security solution, once implemented we will begin scaling Couchbase.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support has been responsive and they provide good support.

How was the initial setup?

The installation could be difficult for some engineers that are brand new to the implementation because the reference documents are much harder to find than other solutions, such as MongoDB.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

For the cloud-based solution, there are a number of options available when it comes to the frequency of license payments. You can purchase a license monthly, quarterly, and annually. Since our project includes IoT from another solution this pricing model could be complicated for us.

The price of this solution is better than some of the other competitors.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated MongoDB and it is lacking some features that Couchbase has making it a complete solution. With MongoDB, we would need another solution to work alongside it to function the same as Couchbase.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Couchbasean eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data."
  • "I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem."

What is our primary use case?

There are many shifts and we use Couchbase to log that data whenever they travel from one place to another. We log the data and we merge it in the backend. That's how the application and everything works. If you are a temp person on one shift and you have logged data, we use the nearby API to connect them and to pull and push each other's data. 

We also use Couchbase for Android tablet to the cloud. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data.

What needs improvement?

I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Couchbase for six to eight months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Couchbase is scalable. There are eight to ten users who use it in my company.

How are customer service and technical support?

Their support is supportive. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was complex. It was a quick implementation. 

What other advice do I have?

My recommendation of Couchbase would depend on the user's requirements. 

I would rate Couchbase an eight out of ten.
