Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Couchbase is used across our organization and we have a large amount of data sprawl that needs to be effectively managed. Further, we also use the platform to manage different use cases for sales, marketing, and operations team members.

Pros and Cons

For a financial firm, fraud detection is of the utmost importance, and Couchbase does this very well -- but then, you also can leverage this data for better real-time analysis and detection
We needed strong response times when customer profiles are actively changing and updating, and Couchbase passed with flying colors

Couchbase does not have a very digestible view for admins, it is more of a secondary thought to maximizing the functionality of the platform
Couchbase could provide a better UI for updating Server from a mobile or tablet

Return on Investment

Couchbase has great up-time and helps us lower costs by not having to deploy personnel for maintenance and oversight functions
Couchbase is intuitive to use, and this leads to faster development for new use cases

Scalability

I think Couchbase is very good at scale, especially considering that data streams are constantly in flux and users could fluctuate by 1K+ every day for us --- there is no worry of drag/lag in these scenarios

Performance

Couchbase's performance is above par, with an ability to integrate multiple data sources with high volumes at a high speed, so that end users experience no hiccups while accessing information

Alternatives Considered

MongoDB

Couchbase is all around a better platform for our needs because it's great integration with mobile and its ease-of-use of server.

Likelihood to Recommend

Couchbase is best suited when managing multiple streams of real-time and existing data.
