We performed a comparison between Amazon DocumentDB and Amazon DynamoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon DocumentDB is a simple solution."
"Its speed has had the most significant impact on our projects. For starters, we used it for its flexibility. With DocumentDB, you're not tied to a rigid structure like you are with Aurora or other relational databases. This makes it great for startups."
"Migrations are easy using this product."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"The technical support team is always available to help us."
"The possibility of managing documents is the most valuable aspect of the solution. I like the fact that I don't have to define the fields."
"Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed service by AWS, and it is designed to provide fast and predictable performance."
"Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that stores unstructured data and provides high performance."
"Storing is a valuable feature. We can store as an entire object rather than the traditional structure of the data."
"The ability to store multiple data attributes is crucial. For example, in a contact flow, if a customer calls, we can integrate DynamoDB dynamically. We need only the customer's mobile number as the primary key, which is stored in the DynamoDB table."
"Amazon DynamoDB is powerful and fast. Its performance is good."
"The technical support could be improved."
"There's a bit of a learning curve at the beginning."
"One possible improvement could be a hybrid database solution, where parts of the application leverage a relational database alongside DocumentDB. If a system were heavily relational in nature, a database like PostgreSQL might be a good fit."
"If you have no prior experience with this type of non-relational database, the syntaxes, implementation, or understanding may be difficult."
"Maybe the documentation could be improved a bit. Sometimes, it's a little confusing, and people can easily be mistaken about DynamoDB."
"Amazon DynamoDB could improve by being more robust, having a better user interface and data management. Additionally, there is some limited functionality compared to other solutions, such as MongoDB."
"In future releases, I would like a feature that lets us store information about public holidays or weekends. When customers call during those closed periods, we could use DynamoDB to trigger an automatic message. So this would eliminate the need for agents to manually inform customers."
"The solution's efficiency and performance should be faster than other databases."
"Amazon DynamoDB has a very complex configuration if you go very advanced."
"Currently, there is no option for a scheduled refresh in this solution. We want the data to be populated into DynamoDB on a timely basis. Currently, you have to go to the DynamoDB table and hit the refresh button to populate it with the new data. If you have connected DynamoDB to a BI application for creating visualizations with charts, graphs, or other things, you would want it to get updated as per the schedule so that you have updated visualizations in your BI application."
"I initially faced issues with the solution's stability, performance, and security."
