Distributed SQL database designed for scalability and high availability
What do you like best about the product?
Horizontal scalability of the cockroach DB allows us to add more nodes to the cluster easily based on the data growth.
Built-in high availability features that make it resilient to node failures using its automatic data replication and failover mechanism
Built-in high availability features that make it resilient to node failures using its automatic data replication and failover mechanism
What do you dislike about the product?
It is resource-intensive and consumes high CPU, memory, and storage. Sometimes there are latency issues too.
Setting up and configuring for the first time is a bit complex.
Also, it has a limited ecosystem

Also, it has a limited ecosystem
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High availability is the main problem that it solves and it has become geo-distributed applications where we were storing huge amounts of metadata that was required across the regions. Due to these, we were able to achieve low latency and high available across regions.
An RDBMS that Replicates Your Data for Availability and Guarantees Consistency
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The availability and the easy to use feature is the most valuable. The documentation is also good.
What needs improvement?
The initial setup and pricing could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with CockroachDB.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. I would late the scalability a nine out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, I have used Postgres but the operator for Postgres is not very good and that is why we shifted to CockroachDB.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of CockroachDB can be difficult initially if you are pushing on the operator line but then it becomes easy. Only one person is required for the maintenance of any project on CockroachDB.
What about the implementation team?
We are using the Helm. So we do the the upgrade and the deployment of the cockroach by ourselves.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is good but can be made cheaper. I would rate the pricing a five out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
The advice of just to read the documentation and look for examples. I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
Great Open-Source Database Product
What do you like best about the product?
I have an option to evaluate this product using an open source option and take some university courses to educate myself on how to use the database product. From there, I can figure out which projects I plan to use it for (specifically anything business-related or personal / hobby projects).
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure as I am continuing to explore more of the product and I hope that there isn't too many limitations when it comes to adding specific data that I would need to create the database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that I can get started for free to evaluate CockroachDB right away. Although the limitation is up to 5GB, that is all I would really need for a starter project and for evaluation. Evidently, they also offer a pay-as-you-go plan, which is also similar to other companies.
Best postgre database
What do you like best about the product?
Basically cockroachdb is easy to use and it is open source distributed database. It accepts complex architectures which makes it globally accepted. It's best feature is geo partitioning into it's clusters. Support team is so awesome that they solve problems in matter of minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though CockroachDB is an open source , there ain't any forum except stack overflow. It's setup is slightly complex from others. Other than that everything works fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CockroachDB for Distributed storage of complex data for high reliability and high performance.
Best in class
What do you like best about the product?
CockroachDB is the only database we could find that had a truly global architecture. CockroachDB speaks PostgreSQL, so it was very easy to integrate with our existing systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial pricing was very steep, however, this has since been addressed with their cloud-based free tier. Great for bootstrapping development. There is a small number of missing features from PostgreSQL, however, we have not needed any of these.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team was unable to find a database that scaled globally until we met the CockroachDB team. We can serve customers at near real-time from anywhere in the world, and never have to worry about whether our database implementation can handle it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CockroachDB is best in class for global databases. Chat to their team, they are amazing.
Powerfull DB as services
What do you like best about the product?
CockroachDB have best support and response very fast
What do you dislike about the product?
Still don't have respective support in indonesia
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large data handle by CockroachDB and have powerfull DB and less latency
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If have large data cockrach will help with low latency
Easy to deploy fully distributed ACID database
What do you like best about the product?
How easy is to deploy a full distributed ACID database.
What do you dislike about the product?
Had to figure it later that some queries in your application aren't aligned with the system expectation causing production outages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of having a multi-region distributed ACID database with not that much operations maintenance.
A robust distributed db
What do you like best about the product?
It is a distributed database and it is a opensourced product. It works really well in cloud environments like AWS, azure etc. The installation and configuration is fairly simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cockroach db should have been had a better compatibility with the application loadbalancers as well. Although it is used for the networking loadbalancers it has the downside of not routing on the app layer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using cockroach db for distributed database cluster for high availability and high performance. I am using it for building production grade applications.
Powerful DB cluster
What do you like best about the product?
Help to build High availability db cluster with awesome management and aggregate a lot of opensource tools for postgres. Has operator for k8s/openshift clusters
What do you dislike about the product?
Something leader election doesnt work properly, for ocp operator very brutal setup configuration where you have a huge configmap. Management tool is required to be downloaded to local machine instead if using from container
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All reliability and durability for Quay registry application
Versatile SQL Based database
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about cockroach db is that it supports various datatypes not only the standard one.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not store timestamps properly and effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using CockroachDB to store dimensions and measures of data. It is simple to use, easily scalable and provide support for all data types like string, array etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation thoroughly before using and it supports all postgres syntax.
