We performed a comparison between Amazon DocumentDB and Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its speed has had the most significant impact on our projects. For starters, we used it for its flexibility. With DocumentDB, you're not tied to a rigid structure like you are with Aurora or other relational databases. This makes it great for startups."
"Migrations are easy using this product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is scalable with multiple master files."
"Cosmos DB is a pretty stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Since it's a managed service, Azure backend handles scalability. From a user's perspective, we don't need to worry about scalability."
"It is a cloud-based solution that is easy to deploy, easy to access, and provides users with more features compared to other clouds like AWS and GCP."
"It's highly scalable and supports consistency, security, and multiple security options."
"The graphical representation of data is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"What I like about Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is that it's easy to do data ingestion and use the data in different applications. If you talk about business intelligence such as the Power BI tool, it's easy to connect because both are Microsoft products. With Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB, it's easy to connect and do data ingestion."
"The product has a lot of useful features that are there and ready to use, it's also very easy to use."
"There's a bit of a learning curve at the beginning."
"One possible improvement could be a hybrid database solution, where parts of the application leverage a relational database alongside DocumentDB. If a system were heavily relational in nature, a database like PostgreSQL might be a good fit."
"In Microsoft manufacturing, managers really need to know about the product."
"We should have more freedom to tweak it and make our own queries for non-traditional use-cases."
"Sometimes, the solution's access request takes time, which should be improved."
"I would like the speed of transferring data to be improved."
"It's still new, and good training resources are harder to find. Even the most recent books on Cosmos DB are several years old, which is ancient in IT terms."
"Slight enhancements in integration interfaces, expanded dashboard functionalities, and broader use-case support would be beneficial."
"I would like to see Cosmos DB introduce a feature that would convert machine language to human-readable queries."
"At this stage, we would like more enterprise support. We use MongoDB a lot, and we're trying to get rid of MongoDB. So, I would like to see more features in the Cosmos DB API for MongoDB space."
