Couchbase Server Reviews & Product Details

Couchbase Server makes continuous delivery of microservices in the cloud very easy with its schemaless approach to JSON data. For most cases, it's as simple as just deploying a new microservice version, no DDL changes required at all prior to deployment. We're also very excited about the forthcoming scopes/collections feature and how that may help us more easily ensure data separation between microservices.

Couchbase's memory-first architecture flat cluster topology also deliver on performance, especially for transactional data with significant mutation rates.

The N1QL query language is great to work with because it's so SQL-like, and much easier for developers to learn and reason about than other NoSQL platforms while also being more feature-rich.

On the IT operations side, managing the cluster itself is made incredibly easy using Couchbase Cloud or the Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes. The architecture itself also makes things easier, with auto sharding and no need to configure read-replicas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The full-text search system is great for small-scale operations, but is still a somewhat young product offering. In some cases, use of a separate system like Elasticsearch is warranted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy manage big amount of data, fast, compatible with a big quantity of legacy applications and very simple to work with.

Great both vertical and horizontal scaling.

N1QL is SQL based - very simple and intuitive.

Data storage in JSON.

High availability.

Data and traffic encryption.

Couchbase Mobile is a great stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some issues on clustering and data replication - it hasn't full coherence between clusters.

Dashboard is not very user friendly, as for me. It is sometimes slow and difficult to work with it for newbies, not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Analytics Engine, Query Indexing,Full text search, Scalability, Reliability, Faster development, easy deployment, cluster management, Easy migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bucket Limitation per cluster. Slow for large datasets. Memory expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used couchbase to store and retrieve inventory related data for an e-commerce website.

Couchbase provides a robust SDK for multi platform integration. All we did was to build a wrapper layer around it and integrated with our inventory API. Ease of use and solid documentation played a vital part in the success of the integration.

I also liked their dashboard where a lot of server health related metrics were updated in realtime. I also liked the ability to search and view the stored documents from the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documents search feature can be improved like adding advanced search options which can improve the entire search user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The query service for interacting with db is so powerful and awesome. Multiple Views can be created for your needs. Various indexes can be created to make querying fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a scope for improvement in time taken for node rebalancing and syncing. Time taken for indexes can be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using Couchbase as the main database of my current project. But great thing is that when it comes to storing temporary or using cache-based database, I don't have to use another solution, Couchbase have already the memcached solution. Using the memcache style buckets provided by Couchbase was much more efficient and flexible than memcached.

Another amazing feature which I get is, I don't need to store data in another storage for implementing elastic sesrch. which is very convenient for the development purposes. It also has some languages support which exactly I needed for the Full Text Search implementation.

The cross data center replication allows me to keep the system running all the time by configuring replication and data is always available.

I didn't need to learn another quey language, cause the N1QL is so much like MySQL and PostgreSQL which were my previous skills.

Making Ad-hoc queries using the analytics service was very flexible, specially as it is possible to run on separate nodes in a cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Basically there is nothing I dislike about Couchbase. But for the first time it was hard for me to setup channel filter. But its easier now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are currently using couchbase server in our production. It's memory based architecture clearly gives it a bigger advantage over other alternatives out there is market. It's fast, easily scalable and provides consistent data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When i was learning couchbase during my initial days i found the documentation not that much helpful, had to take an external course for learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love the N1QL module, which allows you to use SQL like syntax to work with documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't say I dislike it, but I'd like for better docker support, since right now it's a bit difficult to automate the setup of a docker container. I'd also like to see an in memory version of couchbase to use for testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I discovered how fast and efficient couchbase is when we used indexing for query efficiency.And the result was brilliant..The query performance drastically bettered when the bucket had massive records. Native queries and stringified queries are easy to be created as syntax is much like mysql.. Couchbase UI makes it very flexible to work and handle with buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Until now the only con I discovered is the tutorials are very few on internet regarding native and stringified queries or for couchbase concepts in deep.. The documentation explains the concepts quite well..but does not have enough examples and we need to go through it more than once to understand it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Couchbase is best because it is simple to integrate with an application. It uses membase so queries are very simple and as we can use it in implementing distributed database also and that is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked everything....but sometimes server doesn't work and it gives an error. Error message i don't remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The db is document oriented which helped in resolving lots of hassles occurred with sql databases.

Mobile apps are also there for couchbase in which other companies lacks.

master-master replication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't support transaction which is surely a drawback. Also people with SQL background might find it hard to learn the queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* read and write data performance;

* data JSON format;

* easy N1QL query language;

* replication provides great data resiliency;

* user-friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Couchbase is self-hosted, and as such, it required internal DevOps resources to maintain;

* Couchbase can not be used without proper knowledge and practice, so new users have to learn first;

* Couchbase has less community support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best part is easily installable and configuration

Apart from that XML format Data storage is best suit for modern Digital format which not only easily manageable but at the same time highly secured as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s Only for non structured data and not much community support available. !! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way its mobile app version was designed and how it relates with invoking other data components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes its configuration becomes hectic more especially in non linux environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting value by key is VERY fast! Also, the couchbase server scales very easy and very successfully horizontally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The N1Ql queries is something useless, in my opinion. They are very slow! I've used couchbase in a very big project with many concurrent requests and I noticed that at some point when you make lots of requests with n1ql, the couchbase server restarts, even though they were nothing performant... only selecting document by key.

The best feature of this particular application is UI/UX feature that helps on the monitoring of the work and also provides a great platform for the databases. It makes my work efficient and easier as well because of it’s cluster building properties that are enough useful in any kind of situation. It provides variety of ways to store files and to edit them accordingly. It helps in making my workflow steady through it’s customer support staff that are helpful enough. So, a good choice for every type of company whether they have different features to work on it. For me it’s a great tool because of it it’s customer support system that allows me to work without any difficulty and also gives me all the solutions that are required for my work routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the features and functionalities are enough good that makes my database management easier and also efficient. But there is a small issue in the starting which makes new users a little bit confused because it’s user manual that’s not easy to understand. They should make an easygoing manual for the computer understanding of the product. Everything is working fine and also creating a workable environment as well.
