    CassandraCouchbase Server
    Considered Both Products
    Apache
    Chose Cassandra
    It was packaged with the vendor product we bought. Also, it’s good for high performance transactional systems. I'm part of our NoSQL team and Cassandra quickly became a favorite for developers with agile teams.

    Chose Cassandra
    Against HBase, writes were faster. Reads not so much. Also ability to store in other formats would be good (such as objects). Compared to aerospike, does not compare. Aerospike blows it out of water.

    Chose Cassandra
    Cassandra does one thing very well. It's able to collect any type of metrics and analytics and store them at very fast speeds. But when it comes to reading the data, there are minor performance issues. That's when other databases such as couchdb or couchbase come in. They can …

    The Apache Cassandra was one type of product used in our company for a couple of use-cases.
    The Aerospike is something we [analyzed] not so long time ago as an interesting alternative, due to its performance characteristics.
    The Oracle Coherence was and is still being used for …

    Chose Couchbase Server
    Couchbase had more features than the other products we evaluated and a more flexible data model. It also has global replication and better performance. Compared to some, it was also easier to deploy, manage, and scale. The global replication, plus the ease of deploying and …

    Chose Couchbase Server
    We looked at several different SQL and NoSQL systems. Most were either too expensive, didn't provide the needed functionality, or were too hard to use with the size of our team. We ultimately went with Couchbase because of its performance, horizontal scalability, and price.

    Chose Couchbase Server
    We selected CB as it provided the highest performance DB we evaluated while still providing a relatively rich set of additional features at competitive pricing.

    Chose Couchbase Server
    Couchbase was simpler to use and scaled much easier that Cassandra
    Incentivized
    Chose Couchbase Server
    We selected Couchbase because it was recommended internally. We've had more success with Cassandra in the past, and with its simpler, more intuitive data model. Full text search makes us sometimes favour Couchbase though.

    Chose Couchbase Server
    High Performance, easy deployment and high scalability, powerful querying and lightweight analytics. It provides all the major features we need.

    Chose Couchbase Server
    Scalable architecture, data first concept, cross data center replication support, running indexing as a separate service, JSON document makes easy readable format. Also, Couchbase’s integration with Kubernates really opens up a lot of possibilities when it comes down to a …

    Chose Couchbase Server

    • For k/v store aerospike was better than couchbase.
