What do you like best about IBM Cloudant?

Back by big blue. That says a lot. The interface to modify and update the database was very nice. It had most of the features I would expected from a big service like IBM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudant?

THE PRICE! They really didn't seem to do their homework. Competitive products with more features are much cheaper. Seems to only have the base CouchDB engine with 3 additional features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Cloudant:

Shop around. There are other CouchDB-ish hosting companies. Make sure the program fits your needs. Features over support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Cloudant solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for ways to offload data management to a cloud based service. We were able to see the potential in scaling to millions of transaction per day with very little effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Cloudant?

--Cloudant Sync : For now Android and IOS SDKs are available for sync functionalities and more for IOTs and .net are on the way . Cloudant Sync's local db have almost al feature of CouchDBs view model . You can create view indexes and query them on local devices . When device is offline all the data are stored on local DB . 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 also offer both database model for business where either you can use shared database or can host your custom nodes across the geographic region .

--Supports geo-special indexing and querying , Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudant?

-- Pricing : Cloudant is free(shared database) for small extend of use but when you create a large amount of key value pair you are easily gonna cross the uses limit after that price you pay is very expansive.

-- Platform Limitation : Although cloudant is independent of platform cloudant sync is only available for android and ios it leaves windows and blackberry platform which also cover some amount of market . also it has less functionalities compare to couchbase lite like sync gateway.

-- 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.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Cloudant:

If you are beginer or a startup you can use this product it has more than enough resources to get you live . You can easily go live without any prior couchdb experience but if you are large business than consider other option also my Favorited couchbase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Cloudant solving and how is that benefiting you?

We uses this initially while migrating from mongo db but later on when we realised that it is becoming too expansive for our customers so lateron we hosted our own couchbase server with multiple nodes and that is cheap compare to cloudant.

It has almost all benefits of couchdb and it offers more uptime for your sever as all maintenance is done by cloudant . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
