Once set up, creating tables is relatively quick, but the product lacks many features of other NoSQL databases and has confusing API and poor documentation.

"A rare gem"
What do you like best about Berkeley DB 12c?
Our team used Berkeley DB Java Edition in the past for a highly scalable middleware product. The product quality was outstanding. The team left largely intact after the Oracle acquisition provided phenomenal support. The user forum is also very active and often we could get a response on the forums from architects on the team.

What do you dislike about Berkeley DB 12c?
Occasionally we ran into some regressions. At times, the database format changes requires some extra cycles to work around in our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
