	CouchDB
Considered Both Products	Apache Verified User Chose CouchDB Open Source, and freely able to install it on any OS you desire (the big 3, anyways) CouchDB was selected for that, it's early-adoption of JSON and its mobile-friendly environment. Also, I have used it off and on in various non-professional projects, and it was really one of … Incentivized Helpful? Johanes Siregar Risk Insight Product in Information Technology at Telkomsel (Telecommunications, 1001-5000 employees) Chose CouchDB Compared to MongoDB, CouchDB's Map-Reduce paradigm poses a steeper learning curve for SQL users. However, CouchDB's master-master replication is an advantage of implementing a load-balanced solution. Even though, currently, CouchDB has strong community support, as an open … Incentivized Helpful? Sean Lang Developer in Research & Development at Carrot - a VICE company (Broadcast Media, 201-500 employees) Chose CouchDB MongoDB and CouchDB are both document stores, but their concurrency models and ability to scale are very different. MongoDB cannot replicate / shard over unreliable links and network partitions have been the cause of data loss in the past. MongoDB has an easier query language … Incentivized Helpful? Dave Lundberg CTO & Co-founder in Engineering at Datawhere.com (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose CouchDB It has been 5+ years since we chose CouchDB. We looked an MongoDB, Cassandra, and probably some others. At the end of the day, the performance, power potential, and simplicity of CouchDB made it a simple choice for our needs. No one should use just because we did. As I said … Incentivized Helpful? Josh Stapp Sr. Software Engineer in Engineering at Performics (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose CouchDB S3 blew this out of the water, we can get over 30 files a second, almost no failures, auto backed up, don't need our own server, and a much simpler interface with PHP Laravel. Incentivized Helpful? LeVar Berry Chairman & CEO in Corporate at eDriven Studios (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose CouchDB We looked at MongoDB and Firebase. MongoDB gives us the best working db engine with a very intuitive design. However, it does not work as well offline. Firebase was extremely hard to create searching and indexing. Using a third-party to search didn't work for us or at least it … Incentivized Helpful? Aditya Peshave Senior Software Engineer in Information Technology at Staples (Retail, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose CouchDB Developing spring boot apps with Couchbase using Spring Data JPA really solves complexity of programming. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CouchDB I have briefly used MongoDB in other products, and it proved that it had better integration capabilities with Ruby on Rails and node.js software platforms, more than CouchDB. But I never had the chance to actually replace CouchDB with MongoDB in the current product to see what … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CouchDB It stacks up well against Mongo DB. Mongo DB definitely has more marketing and developer and customer mindshare because it is so widely known. Incentivized Helpful? Victor Pease Solano General Manager in Engineering at Supermio (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose CouchDB CouchbaseDB is essentially faster with more options but of course with a cost. Cloudant is the hosted option with a better security schema. Incentivized Helpful?
