Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudant
Our department uses IBM Cloudant as a distributed NoSQL database solution for web-based applications. IBM Cloudant allows rapid writes of unstructured JSON data received on a second-by-second basis also it is NoSQL so it is not required to take care of [the] schema of the table application. It also allows effective use of map-reduce to aggregate results out of collections defined within IBM Cloudant databases, allowing for millions of records to be aggregated and used effectively for analytics and reporting.
- IBM Cloudant allows rapid writes of unstructured JSON data received on a second-by-second basis.
- It also allows effective use of map-reduce to aggregate results out of collections defined within IBM Cloudant databases, allowing for millions of records to be aggregated and used effectively for analytics and reporting.
- Simple and straight forward to use and embed into the application.
- Limited support/documentation for programming languages such as Python, Perl, and R.
- Time to index large databases needs to be improved.
- This database has very good ROI with [a] small size of data as pricing on storage sizes as database size increases exponentially.

IBM Cloudant is great for quick deployment and configs of a database service, especially when it comes to rapid prototyping. In a research capacity, we need to spin up web services and run experiments quickly. IBM Cloudant is a fuss-free database service [that] aids in this process. Extracting data from [IBM] Cloudant can be done programmatically as well, which makes working with it much more ideal.
