"A multimode database with great SLA provided by Azure"
4/5
What do you like best about Azure Cosmos DB?

Most impressive feature of this Azure Cosmos DB is support for multiple modes. Whether I am going for SQL or NoSQL, both can be managed with this. Also, with Azure, we are getting a comprehensive SLA, which is an advantage when we need high availability. Integration with our application is also quite easy, and custom throughput is a good thing for controlling costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Cosmos DB?

Even though we can control RU at the document level, it can still be expensive at some point. While for increasing performance, we need to have a higher RU, then the cost also increases like a skyrocket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
