We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Couchbase 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."I am satisfied with the performance."
"The most valuable features of Cassandra are the NoSQL database, high performance, and zero-copy streaming."
"Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."
"I am getting much better performance than relational databases."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."
"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing."
"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 feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application."
"It is pretty stable."
"It can scale horizontally, and we are looking to expand our capacity."
"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 highly available for support and does not impact our operations significantly during failures."
"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."
"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."
"There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK."
"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."
"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
"Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature."
"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."
"The platform's grouping features need improvement."
"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."
"I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem."
"One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved."
Cassandra is ranked 4th in NoSQL Databases with 19 reviews while Couchbase is ranked 2nd in NoSQL Databases with 11 reviews. Cassandra is rated 8.0, while Couchbase is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Cassandra writes "Well-equipped to handle a massive influx of data and billions of requests". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Couchbase writes "No SQL cloud based solution used to manage unstructured data and push out large volumes of metrics at a low latency". Cassandra is most compared with MongoDB, ScyllaDB, InfluxDB, Oracle NoSQL and Chroma, whereas Couchbase is most compared with MongoDB, ScyllaDB, CouchDB, Aerospike Database 7 and InfluxDB.
