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."Amazon DocumentDB is a simple solution."
"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."
"Cosmos DB is stable and easy to use."
"The product has a lot of useful features that are there and ready to use, it's also very easy to use."
"The solution is user friendly and Microsoft's technical support is good."
"From a global distribution perspective, Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is good and easy to handle."
"I like the scalability. There aren't any constraints for posting in the geolocation. I also like the SQL architecture."
"It's highly scalable and supports consistency, security, and multiple security options."
"I would recommend Cosmos. It made our lives a lot easier. There's not a big learning curve in order to understand the structure and how to use it."
"One of the nice features is the ability to auto-scale"
"The technical support could be improved."
"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."
"A couple features that would help me in architectural solutions would be customizable architecture or customizable documentation, which both Microsoft Azure or Microsoft Teams can provide."
"The solution cannot join two databases like Oracle or SQL Server."
"There is room for improvement in their customer support services."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"I would like the speed of transferring data to be improved."
"In Microsoft manufacturing, managers really need to know about the product."
"The API compatibility has room for improvement, particularly integration with MongoDB. You have to connect to a specific flavor of MongoDB. We'd also like a richer query capability in line with the latest Mongo features. That is one thing on our wish list. The current version is good enough for our use case, but it could be improved."
