    Our organization found Cloudant most suitable if One, a fixed pricing structure would make the most sense, for example in a situation where the project Cloudant is being used in makes its revenue in procurement or fixed retainer — thus the predictability of costs is paramount; Two, where you need to frequently edit the data and/or share access to the query engine to non-engineers — this is where the GUI shines.

    we used Vertex AI on our automation process the model very useful and working as expected we have implemented in our monitoring phase this very helpful our analysis part. real time response is very effective and actively provide detailed overview about our products.this phase is well suited in our org. this model could not applicable for small level projects why because this model not needed for small level projects and without related resource of ML this model not useful. strictly on non cloud org not suitable means on pram not suitable

    Pros
    IBM
    • For us, performance and scalability is the key, and Cloudant DB backed by CouchDB is scalable and performant.
    • IBM Cloudant dB is very easy to provision for sandbox, development, QA as well as production.
    • Support for Java for CouchDB app server analytics enables a greater control for over developers.
    • Schema free oriented very easy to program and build applications on it.
    • We love it!!

    • Vertex AI comes with support for LOTs of LLMs out of the box
    • MLOps tools are available that help to standardize operational aspects
    • Document AI is an out of the box feature that works just perfectly for our use cases of automating lots to tedious data extraction tasks from images as well as papers

    Cons
    IBM
    • It was only after we went with the cloud-based solution that IBM rolled out an on-premise version.
    • We found that a 3rd-party ODBC driver was required for a few applications that needed to pull data out of Cloudant.
    • The sales process was difficult because the salesperson we used was not as versed on Cloudant as I had hoped.

    • Customization of AutoML models - A must needed capability to be able to tweak hyperparameters and also working with different models
    • Model Explainability -Providing more comprehensive explanations about how models are utilizing features could be very beneficial
    • Model versioning and experiments tracking - Enhancing the versioning capability could be good for end users

    the flexibility of NoSQL allow us to modify and upgrade our apps very fast and in a convenient way. Having the solution hosted by IBM is also giving us the chance to focus on features and the improvement of our apps. It's one thing less to be worried about

    Usability
    IBM
    It's mostly just a straight forward API to a data store. I knock one off for the full text search thing, but I don't need it much anyways. Also, the dashboard UI they give is pretty nice to use. It provides syntax-highlighting for writing views and queries are easy to test. I wish other DBs had a UI like this.

    Reliability and Availability
    IBM
    it is a highly available solution in the IBM cloud portfolio and hence we have never had any issues with the data base being available - we also do continuous replication to be on the safer side just in case some thing goes awry. We also perform twice a year disaster recovery tests.

    Performance
    IBM
    very easy to get started and is very developer friendly given that it uses couchDB analytics. It is a cloud based solution and hence there is no hardware investment in a server and staging the server to get started and the associated delays/bureaucracy involved to get started. Good documentation is also available.

    Google is always top notch with their security and user interface performance. We use Google's entire suite in our business anyways, so using Vertex became second nature very quickly. I will say, though, that Google does need to come down on the price somewhat with their token allocation. Also, their UI is very robust, so it does require some time for training to really master it.

    Online Training
    IBM
    online resources are good enough to understand but there is nothing like testing. In our case, we discovered some not documented behavior that we take in count now. Also, the experience in NodeJs is critical. Also, take in count that most of the "good practices" with cloudant are not in online courses but in blogs and pages from independent developers

    • Test the architecture on CouchDB helped us to address initial design flaws.
    • The migration to Cloudant as such was very painless.
    • We have migrate our replication system to Cloudant Android Sync for mobile devices.
    • We have regular informal contact with the Cloudant leadership to discuss our use cases and implementation strategies.

    The feature-set, including security, is very comparable. Overall, IBM's services added to the product are mature and stable, although product support and engineers could be a little better. Global availability is improving, and Disaster Recover Capabilities are great. Overall, it's very comparable to MongoDB as a DBaaS offer, available globally and with great documentation.

    We tend to adapt and use the platform that suits the customers needs the best. We return to Vertex AI because it is the most in-depth option out there so we can configure it any which way they want. However, it is not quick to market and constantly changing or updating it's feature-set. This makes it suitable for bigger customers that have the capital and time to spend on a bigger project that is well researched and not quick to market like some of the other options that feel like a light-version of this.

    Scalability
    IBM
    The service scales incredibly well. As you would expect from CloudDB and IBM combination. The only reason I wouldn't score it a 10 is the fact that document trees can get nested and nested very quickly if you are attempting to do very complex datasets. Which makes your code that much more complex to deal. Its very possible we could find a solution to this problem with better database planning to begin with, but one of the reasons we chose a service over a self-hosted solution was so we could set it up quick and forget about it. So we weren't going to dedicate a team to architecture optimization.

    IBM
    • IBM Cloudant is very secure and we never have to worry about losing data/unauthorized access
    • It is one of the best data backup system and works well
    • Global availability means it is easy to connect to the nearest data center and this reduces load time which is great.

    • It is pay as you go model so it'll save more cost of your org. In our case previously we used to incurred 1-2L/Month now we are reduced it to 80k-1L.
    • It'll help you save your model training & model selection time as it provides pre-trained models in autoML.
    • It'll help you in terms of Security wherein we can use row level security access to authorized persons.
