Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and others in Managed NoSQL Databases."Relational databases are never good at identifying patterns in graphs or other similar relationships, whereas Amazon Neptune is."
"The best feature is the velocity to make a query."
"Its wide support to the ecosystem is valuable. We can use this database with a lot of use cases, and that's one of the reasons why we prefer it. We have a lot of vendors, databases, and use cases, and wherever possible, we are trying to standardize databases. It is also secure."
"The biggest benefit it offers is scalability. It's easier to work with concurrency and updating data."
"It works reasonably fast. You can retain the original format of the document as received by the third-party system."
"Cosmos DB is a pretty stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB's most valuable feature is latency."
"It is a scalable product."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is fast, and its performance is good compared to normal SQL DB."
"Amazon Neptune could improve by spreading more awareness for others to have an understanding of the solution because the technology is fairly new. The developer community and larger community do not understand it yet."
"Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB's pricing model is complicated, which people don't understand."
"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."
"Its stability can be further improved."
"At this stage, we would like more enterprise support. We use MongoDB a lot, and we're trying to get rid of MongoDB. So, I would like to see more features in the Cosmos DB API for MongoDB space."
"I don't think Cosmos DB has improved our organization. People are using it, but I'm not sure it's the best solution. For one, it's costly. Also, there are other issues with it. You cannot get all the records simultaneously. You can only get it in chunks of 1,500 maximum."
"The integration of the on-premise solution with the cloud can be difficult sometimes."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"The pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings."
