When networks come it sync device with cloudant and this is working like a charm for me.

--User Interface : IBM has done a great job creating cloudant UI it is very easy to use and straight forword.

--Cloudant offers all CouchDB functionalities out of th box like Cross-Datacenter replication for both with remote or shared database.

-- Cloudant has a very good dash board for limitation but due to security override it is difficult to use many plugins in this database where as couchbase comes with more plugin support out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
