We performed a comparison between Amazon DocumentDB and Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB 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."
"Cosmos DB makes life easier because if we want to use Mongo-type data, or Cassandra-type data, or maybe even just a simple cable storage-type data, then graph, there are multiple ways to do this."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is fast, and its performance is good compared to normal SQL DB."
"It is non-SQL and helps to manage and manipulate data from the coding, rather than direct data and complex queries."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is easy to use and implement for application programmers."
"From a global distribution perspective, Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is good and easy to handle."
"The biggest benefit it offers is scalability. It's easier to work with concurrency and updating data."
"With Azure you can start small and grow as you need."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"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."
"The technical support could be improved."
"There's a bit of a learning curve at the beginning."
"It doesn't support all databases."
"The integration of the on-premise solution with the cloud can be difficult sometimes."
"It is not as easy to use as DynamoDB."
"In Microsoft manufacturing, managers really need to know about the product."
"It would be ideal if we could integrate Cosmos DB with our Databricks. At this point, that's not possible."
"I have to say technical support is not very good as it takes too long. Sometimes it can take them two or three days to respond to your ticket."
"The solution cannot join two databases like Oracle or SQL Server."
"We should have more freedom to tweak it and make our own queries for non-traditional use-cases."
