What differentiates Couchbase Server from other similar products?

Supports multiple data models, including key-value, document, and (with recent versions) relational data. This versatility allows users to choose the best model for their use case without needing to switch between different systems.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

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 :)

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't like the documentation code background, I blink and have a problem with my eyes and the background color bothers me after about 10 minutes of reading the code in the documentation

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

What differentiates Couchbase Server from other similar products?

It’s pretty fast, indexing and all can be done with just one line and it makes the queries execute a hundred times faster. And also the smartest thing I notice is the documentation, many times I come across a brand new use case and am unable to implement then I search for that in the documentation and notice all the answers to all the use cases I had.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It’s easy and has no advanced configuration. It stores data in numerous buckets, almost like tables in RDBMS. It provides bucket-to-bucket sync or cluster level to diff cluster level sync victimization XDCR, which helps in syncing or moving information. Because it saves data in JSON format, it’s very easy to structure data in couchbase.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I dislike, its response time, we faced numerous problems in reducing the query time, and even though we’ve got created all the required indexes, still, the response time was high. Another thing where we faced a problem was in eventing functionality, as the correct log isn’t displayed on UI, it’s tough to understand that document the eventing worked or not.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Couchbase provides the capabilities and storage our business was looking for with some of our giant projects, that are being used today. The team itself is a nice partner who is often willing to assist and ensure our environments are stable and secured however make sure we are content.
