What do you like best about Couchbase?

Easy to get started. We can query over the DB using N1QL that is very similar to SQL so doesn't need extra knowledge to get started. UI is very clear and easy to understand. Indexing is easy to implement and see all the available indices and while running the queries also we can see which index got picked up. Loved this option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Couchbase?

I was using it with Spring Webflux that is reactive, so while processing data parallely the load on couchbase goes very high and operations start failing. Would love to see some inbuilt support on this to handle traffic properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a NoSql DB and provides good option to get started with NoSql without need of any extensive training for the developers. It helped me build an application that deals with millions of documents and with proper indexing it performs well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the ease of use alot, the NoSQL setup was done very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Couchbase?

Adding authorized users was a bit of a challenge however my team figured it out after some poking around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My business was in need of a solid database solution that could be managed with ease. After trying tons of other software solutions, Couchbase Server worked best for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What do you like best about Couchbase?

It is very simple and has no complex configuration. It stores data in different buckets, similar to tables in RDBMS. It provides bucket to bucket sync or cluster level to diff cluster level sync using XDCR, which helps in syncing or moving data. As it saves data in JSON format, it's really easy to structure data in couchbase. It works on the N1ql query and provides suggestions for index too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Couchbase?

I dislike, its response time, we faced lots of issues in reducing the query time, even though we have created all the necessary indexes, still, the response time was high. Another thing where we faced an issue was in eventing functionality, as the proper log is not displayed on UI, it's difficult to understand for which document the eventing worked or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have built a consumer app, where users create documents, which we save in couchbase DB, and further, read it back when requires. It helped us in creating the app quickly, as it is very easy to start working on couchbase. They also provide a cloud version of couchbase, which is easy to configure.

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

We use it for a wide range of operational systems which serve front end and back end applications. There is no tolerance for lost data and we read and write at massive scale.
