"Great Cloud Solution for nonSQL DB"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Azure Cosmos DB?

It basically is a Microsoft Azure feature like "MongoDB"; SaaS. I really like its seamless integration with other products, such as NodeJS webapps (which Azure also offers) and its competitive performance for intensive queries. I've never had a denial of service problem with DocumentDB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Cosmos DB?

Even though it is very similar to MongoDB, the implementation is not quite the same, and you must read Microsoft's documentation regarding some of their features. Other than that, this product is cheaper compared to its MongoDB counterpart, also offered through Microsoft Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Cosmos DB:

Invest in making the switch ASAP if you're using any Mongo DBaaS. It is as reliable as MongoLab or any other Mongo instance that you could be running (as a service) but it is substantially cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Cosmos DB solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm storing and loading my client's information to and from the database. Databases are basically essential for any business that needs to remember users, statistics, and other miscellaneous data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
