NoSQL Databases
Comparison of NoSQL Databases features of Product A and Product B
Lucidworks Fusion is best suited for information retrieval applications to search structured or unstructured data. It offers variety of features to help users find contents they are looking for. For Chatbot like applications, Fusion can be used for powering the backend search, but dialog manager is not supported by this product
In an area where it will be built once and maintained, it shines. If you aim to use CI, temporary environments, or anything else, it is not very effective. Licensing is almost impossible on boxes that are to be created on the fly.
Indexing is a major strength of MarkLogic. The out-of-the-box configuration is set up to handle a combination of text and fielded data. The indexing is also highly configurable. Those configuration options are at the heart of a lot of our high-volume, high-performance applications.
The industrial strength transactions and security are also a strength, particularly when we are dealing with user-created intellectual property.
The engineering support is a strength. They are big enough to have a really strong support and engineering staff, but small enough so that a medium-sized customer has access to it. They are very responsive to questions and problem reports.
The ability to move easily among XML and JSON is a strength.
How to do complete data profiling on documents loaded in Marklogic database?
Customers need a tools which can be customized to suit their data profiling needs but currently the tools which MarkLogic provides fall short on this requirement.
Unit testing framework which is using only XQuery as the language is lacking some features.
Our firm has consultants for a number of technologies/disciplines. While I am capable and experienced in other areas, my preference is always to work on engagements with MarkLogic. As an architect and developer, I get far more flexibility and performance from one product instead of cobbling together a stack of several products to provide a capability that MarkLogic has rolled into one great product.
Very little about it can be done better or with greater ease. Even things that seem difficult aren't really that bad. There's multiple ways to accomplish any admin task. MarkLogic requires a fraction of administrative effort that you see with enterprise RDBMS like Oracle. MarkLogic is continually improving the tools to simplify cluster configuration and maintenance.
There's always room for improvement. Some problems get solved faster than others, of course. MarkLogic's direct support is very responsive and professional. If they can't help immediately, they always have good feedback and are eager to receive information and details to work to replicate the problem. They are quick to escalate major support issues and production show-stopping problems. In addition to MarkLogic's direct support, there are several employees who are very active among the community and many questions and common issues get quick attention from helpful responses to email and StackOverflow questions.
We looked at several popular Enterprise Search applications 5 years ago which I wish to leave unnamed. We found Lucidworks to the the most cost-effective alternative that met all of our needs.
In comparison to both Mongo and HBase, MarkLogic wins in terms of integration to other systems, while loosing in terms of pricing. In terms of documentation all will be in same range putting MarkLogic a bit forward.
Allowed us to move software developers from enterprise search to other customer focused applications due to built in signals processing and related popularity boosting out of the box.
Enabled business experts to work directly with Fusion to influence search results and not be so dependent on developers.
It took longer than expected to develop our application and get the level of consistent performance necessary. As a result, profit was flat for a couple of years but the benefits are really starting to kick in.
