    Chose Amazon DynamoDB
    MongoDB is mostly document store while Amazon DynamoDB supports both key/value and document store making it more versatile. Azure Cosmos DB is multi-modal like Amazon DynamoDB and it makes more sense when you have data already in Azure Cloud. If you are mostly using AWS then …

    Couchbase
    Chose Couchbase Server
    I found the Couchbase provided a more robust solution that was easier to use and develop against. DynamoDB is limited to Amazon, which would reduce our cloud provider flexibility in the future. MongoDB has great read performance, but write performance doesn't scale as well, …

    Chose Couchbase Server
    Experience with DataStax Cassandra was seamless, but the cost and effort to support it was not justified. Also commercial process experience with Couchbase was much better. ActiveSpaces is a good technology for big TIBCO shop, but keeping with the lifecycle of it is not easy. I …

    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
    Couchbase takes most of the best features of products such as Amazon Aurora, DynamoDB, Mongo DB, or Realm IO. It by the way might be lacking a good AWS strategy compared to other solutions. Couchbase has a great field for improvements in establishing specific deployment …

    Chose Couchbase Server
    Comparable but more costly. More features but not necessarily correlated to the price point.

    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.
    Incentivized
    Chose Couchbase Server
    The fact that Couchbase has a better managed solution is what sells us. Dynamo DB would require many more FTE man hours to maintain instead of using Couchbase solution.
    Incentivized
    Chose Couchbase Server
    Cheaper, and more performant (but we have to host it ourselves).
    Incentivized
    Chose Couchbase Server
    Couchbase does the most for the most sensible cost structure. Also, their support is second-to-none!

    Chose Couchbase Server
    While in this testing phase, the main feature of Couchbase is the mobile integration. Most of the one listed above use the same algorithm whether it is mobile or desktop. Couchbase offers their Lite version which has everything you need to use the Couchbase suite without having …
