Couchbase Enterprise Reviews

There are many shifts and we use Couchbase to log that data whenever they travel from one place to another. We log the data and we merge it in the backend. That's how the application and everything works. If you are a temp person on one shift and you have logged data, we use the nearby API to connect them and to pull and push each other's data. 

We also use Couchbase for Android tablet to the cloud. 

The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data.

I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem.

I have been using Couchbase for six to eight months. 

It is stable.

Couchbase is scalable. There are eight to ten users who use it in my company.

Their support is supportive. 

The initial setup was complex. It was a quick implementation. 

My recommendation of Couchbase would depend on the user's requirements. 

I would rate Couchbase an eight out of ten. 

We use it for data link utilization.

The horizontal scale is a major factor. We want to be able to expand our capacity horizontally.

The failover and failback could be a bit easier. When I looked at it last time, it had to be manually done. It also took over an hour for us to rebalance all the nodes.

It's pretty stable. We like it.

Scalability could be a bit more desirable. We are probably a little hardware limited.

With AWS, it might be better. We're also looking at DynamoDB as a possible replacement.

We also looked at MongoDB, some sort of eMemory, and cache layered with a traditional relational database for performance sake, because we churn a lot of data. We collect for each customer upwards of around 20GB/hour of data. Therefore, performance is important to us, so NoSQL eventually became the obvious choice.

The decision was between this solution and MongoDB. We chose this because it came with N1QL, which is their query language. Whereas MongoDB, at that time, did not come with any sort of query capability.

Couchbase is a good solution to a lot of problems, but you will have to do your own research on it. It does have the scalability. It fits most of our needs. Though, the performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process.

We actually have not used it with AWS. We just purchased directly with them, and we have our own hardware. As part of our solution, we are now looking to move some of the solution to AWS. We want to provide solutions to our customers and package it as a product, and it feels like a lot of people are asking for cloud as an option. Therefore, we are looking into cloud deployments instead of on-premise deployments.
