Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudant
I use Cloudant like I use Couchdb. Each user has a database and I like the ease of use with authentication as well as falling back on Couchdb defaults if wanting to do so. I deal with real-time wait data and use pouchdb to handle my front end.
- Ease of use coming from Couchdb - views, indexes, auth, revisions
- Uptime has been excellent
- Replication with ease
- Better branding - People not used to using IBM services don’t know that Cloudant [was] built around Couchdb.
- Documentation can be done a bit more organized (some are very old) and do share more of [the] fallback features that Couchdb supplies and what is offered too. I have to sometimes look deep to find out things like fallback auth to use Couchdb auth users for example. Simple stuff.
- I honestly over time have really no other issues and they aren’t anything extensive since I know Couchdb well.
- I [have] been happy so far.
- Uptime has been great. Only 1 time it went down and I mean AWS has not been perfect all the time.
- Scalability is amazing.
- Ease of use again, can jump right in from Couchdb.

I like [the] ease of use of Cloudant. Redis and Fauna have time to live features so for caching and temp data that is what I use along with messaging queues.
