Couchbase Enterprise cut costs, increased efficiency, and boosted profits by replacing Redis and optimizing operations during peak times.

Sentiment score

6.2

Organizations achieved financial and operational gains with Vertica, reducing costs and processing time while enhancing analytics and performance.

Experienced Software Developer at Amdocs

There are no dropdown options, and I have to manually enter the key and its value to retrieve any specific document, so adding some toggles or dropdowns would be an improvement.

reviewer2804391

Software Development Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

I also heard from a peer about a complex multi-document transaction requiring strict consistency, which Couchbase Enterprise did not support effectively, whereas MongoDB was mature and predictable for such transactions.

reviewer2811015

Software Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Smarter automatic projection management is needed with more intelligence, auto projection creation, automatic optimization, and reduced manual testing with better workload management.

consultant at tcs

Projections could be made more dynamic, and if they could find a faster way to update, insert, and delete data, that would also be helpful.

Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) does not have a cloud-based UI that Snowflake has, which features a very good comprehensive GUI for querying and analyzing data.

Integrated caching and SQL-style queries have improved real-time billing performance

Experienced Software Developer at Amdocs

Couchbase Enterprise can be improved by addressing the complex setup. The initial setup and configuration can be tricky and requires careful tuning of cluster settings, memory quotas, and indexes, which I have already faced. Another area for improvement is the learning curve. Although N1QL is powerful, there is still a learning curve, especially for developers coming from traditional relational databases. The licensing cost is something to consider as well. Enterprise licensing can be expensive and may not be ideal for startups or smaller organizations. There is operational overhead with Couchbase Enterprise, such as managing clusters, monitoring performance, and handling failovers, which require strong DevOps expertise. It would be better if it simplified these aspects and provided better documentation.

Data warehousing has transformed reporting performance and now delivers near real-time insights

consultant at tcs

OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) is a very powerful analytic database, but like any platform, there are areas where it can improve to make daily work even smoother. Better cloud-native experience is one area for improvement. OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) was originally designed as an on-premises analytic database and later moved to cloud. Improvement opportunities include more seamless cloud-native features such as auto-scaling, serverless options, and easier cluster management. Competitors such as Snowflake and BigQuery provide more fully managed experiences. Easier UI is another area for improvement. Most administration is currently done by SQL and command line tools. An improvement opportunity would be a more modern web UI for monitoring, workload management, and troubleshooting. Faster ecosystem and community growth is needed. In short, OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) could improve in areas such as cloud-native capability, modern UI for administration, stronger real-time streaming integration, and growing its ecosystem and community. These enhancements would make it easier to manage and adopt compared to newer cloud-first analytic platforms. From a day-to-day operational perspective, there are a few areas where OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) could improve to make our work smoother. Smarter automatic projection management is needed with more intelligence, auto projection creation, automatic optimization, and reduced manual testing with better workload management. Right now, monitoring queries often requires system tables and manual analysis. Troubleshooting slow queries takes time. A modern real-time dashboard showing query bottlenecks and resource users would enable quick detection. The impact could be faster issue resolution and less time spent debugging performance. Storage native interaction with modern data tools is also important. In short, from a day-to-day perspective, improvements in automatic projection optimization, better workload monitoring dashboard, easier schema evolution, and stronger modern tool integration would significantly reduce manual tuning effort and improve developer productivity. While OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) is very powerful, these enhancements would make it more efficient for the analytics team.
