Supports formats like JSON, HTTP and REST – which makes it easy take advantage of modern web world from any device.It is basically a NoSQL document database service designed for scalable and high performance modern web and mobile applications.

The pricing tiers at the minute... could so with one or two in between free and standard. 50% preview discount which would mean the standard tier ends up at £160/month.

Only cloud based hosting available. It doesn't support or enforce data consistency like SQL. Also, from a developer point of view it currently lacks ORDER BY, WHERE clause and JOINS used for combining separate documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Yet another great product from Azure"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure Cosmos DB?

We were wanting to get into the JSON based NoSQL database world. Machine data thrives in this sort of data environment. We already use Azure for other services so we looked at DocumentDB and were happy with the results. Scaling and changing the consistency mode is very easy. I'm very happy with this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Cosmos DB?

I was more familiar with MongoDB. DocumentDB does a few things differently. It takes some getting used to, but I still feel like it's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
