What do you like best about Couchbase?

It's pretty fast, indexing and all can be done with just one line and it makes the queries execute 100 times faster. And the best thing I find is the documentation, many times I come across a new usecase and am unable to implement then I look for that in the documentation and find all the answers to all the usecase I had.

Doesn't perform well when data increases, lot of times I get ambiguous timeout exceptions.

Couchbase UI is also very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Couchbase?

Please make it efficient when dealing with large data. By large I mean at least with 50k records it should perform well.

Not dislike but one improvement I would suggest is -

Give a builtin mechanism to handle concurrent updates to a document in db. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Couchbase:

Use it only if you have write - write requirements. Otherwise for fetching data at scale its not that efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am working on a usecase where millions of records will be saved in db and they need to be fetched many times and filter them based on some inner field or a value inside an array. Couchbase gives solution to this in the form of "unnest".

And with proper indexing queries works pretty fast too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Couchbase?

The NoSQL feature combined with the great performance make Couchbase a powerful tool to fast development, is easy to use, and I use it every day for my recent projects. It is an easy integration and ease of implementation, and I'm experimenting with existing projects like Nodejs or PHP and the documentation is easy to understand. I don't try Customer Support because I think this is for an easy tool, I do not need that :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Couchbase?

What do you like best about Couchbase?

Couchbase is a NoSQL database that stands out for several reasons, but what I like best is its hybrid architecture, which combines the best aspects of both relational and NoSQL databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Couchbase?

Couchbase's powerful features, such as Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) and Cross-Datacenter Replication (XDCR), can make the initial setup and ongoing management complex. For organizations without dedicated database administrators or significant expertise in Couchbase, this complexity can lead to steep learning curves and potential misconfigurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Traditional relational databases often struggle with scaling horizontally, particularly as data volumes and user traffic increase.Couchbase is built to scale horizontally by adding more nodes to a cluster. It handles large amounts of data and high-traffic loads efficiently by distributing data across multiple nodes.

This makes it easier to support growing applications without significant re-architecting or performance degradation. If you're working on applications that need to handle millions of users or petabytes of data, Couchbase can scale to meet those demands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Couchbase addresses several key issues related to data management and application performance. Primarily, it solves the challenge of handling high-speed transactions and large-scale data processing. By using Couchbase, I benefit from its high availability and low latency, which are crucial for real-time applications. The platform’s ability to efficiently manage large volumes of data and provide quick access through its key-value store improves the overall responsiveness and reliability of applications. Furthermore, the ease of scaling Couchbase horizontally means that as data grows, performance remains consistent, ensuring a smooth user experience. This scalability and efficiency ultimately lead to better resource utilization and reduced operational costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
