"One Platform to Rule Them All"

5/5

What do you like best about Couchbase?

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.

What do you dislike about Couchbase?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Couchbase:

When you can get the sweet taste of NoSQL in accordance with Full-Text Search and Memcached in one place, definitely Couchbase is your hero.

Ensuring data integrity and availability with the XDCR, things are awesome and smooth.

When you are an enterprise user of Couchbase, you will have great support from the team starting from before purchasing the enterprise solution.

One important thing, take the free and/or paid tutorial provided by Couchbase which is helpful while designing the system and data structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Couchbase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using extensively Couchbase buckets for storing and reading geo spatial data which is the main feature of the system I am developing. And I can use the geo spatial queries provided by the Couchbase.

Also, I didn't have to use the Elastic sesrch and store data again there. I just used the already-there FTS aka Full Text Search feature in Couchbase.

I didn't have to use Redis because Couchbase is giving me plain-old-memcached mode, which is awesome!

When it was about deployment, process was easier and I had help from the Couchbase support team, a great relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
