The Azure Cosmos DB not only helps me apply my DB changes fast but it is so user friendly in terms of the processes and tabs it has on the layout. Whenever I merge my changes while deploying code, it helps me deploy in simplest possible way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Azure Cosmos DB is very helpful, it is also having lots of backed processes it runs at its end and also there have been times when the service is down and the end user is blocked from using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to port over code to test in a sandbox environment. It had us allowed us to see results much quicker than past systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup was a bit difficult on our end but was done at the end Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for streaming, Fast resolution of IcM tickets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes spikes in latency that can affect user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the scalability. It worked very well in saving our relational data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn’t like the support that was provided for Cosmos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Structuring the schema in form of collection and documents is extremely easy. It also provides useful features such as partitioning which makes data retrieval fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Querying the database requires practice and time is consumed in understanding query syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to scale and distribute. Definitely wirth trying out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can do bulk delets. You have to be sure about the partition keys you'llbe using since itsnot possible to change later on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cosmos has simplified much of the DevOps concerns for our geo-distributed applications. It takes care of keeping data in sync across regions, invisible fail-over, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some have found the learning curve heavy due to Cosmos' support for mixed schemas (relational, graph, document). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CosmosDB allows you to select an API (eg, MongoDB) during initialization. It comes in very handy if you need to save some time and skip the documentation (not the case with other databases) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the limitations of your Azure plan, it is possible that CosmosDB will not let you aggregate over larger records. I faced this issue ( probably because of my plan). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Documents are stored and served in the JSON format

2. Documents can be retrieved using a rich query language that plays well with the JSON syntax

3. It has a rich server-side Javascript API, letting you create data processing functions

4. full indexing is done by default hence query performance would be better

5. Comparatively cheaper to other No SQL DB's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. DocumentDB cannot enforce or guarantee data consistency like SQL can

2. DocumentDB queries are much more limited than SQL queries.

3. The Portal seems a little less user friendly for accessing the doc db collections Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Auto indexing, without noticeable performance hit, on all fields (compare to mongo ..)

Global Scale without needing to reason about that, moving plans, etc

Quite simple to setup with the azure cli Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really implementing all features of mongo api, at least not by default. for example, for cursor support you need to open a support ticket, for aggregations, you need to turn on a UI flag, etc.

Although multiple apis, you can't actually use that in the same account (like writing with the mongo Api and doing complex queries with the sql api)

Some Docs , including lib docs, are old and misleading.

Like everything else azure, still the feeling that linux is "second rate citizen" in azure, some tools are missing if you are not running windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
