Azure Cosmos DB vs. InterSystems Caché (legacy product)

NoSQL platforms are very useful when it comes to security, speed, accuracy, high accessibility with high read and write power. Everything is managed under the cloud and we have the various capabilities of Azure and support for Microsoft products with us. Flexibility in price and variety of features, as well as real-time results, are some of the popular [features] of this platform.

Great for a one for all, heavy bundled, and licensed solution. When trying to evolve and scale, it can be very limiting. Think future proof as something that fits now could be hard to change later and work around.

• Turn-key geo-redundancy with multi-master writes is unprecedented and unparalleled in the industry!
• Guaranteed low latency makes Cosmos DB an excellent fit for most of our performance-intensive situations.
• The tunable consistency model simplifies so many challenges in distributed systems engineering that otherwise require advanced knowledge of computer science topics. I continue to be impressed at how Cosmos DB has abstracted away so much complexity.

• Fast development
• the language light to learn.
• Different ways to access data
• Good internal documentation, which is also available online.

• When searching by default, it is case sensitive, which must be changed by default
• In many ways, the price should be more flexible according to the requested facilities, because the price is very expensive for startup companies.
• It is not fully compatible with most common Streaming Analytics tools applications and developers should be worked on it

• The great functionality hides behind an old UI that can be cumbersome to navigate, making Cache configurations take more time.
• The easy installs of Cache need specific setups to work well, and if yours is unique or if your servers are highly specialized on a networking level in terms of ports, VMs, or otherwise, then there may be some difficulties getting things to work.

It's efficient, easy to scale, and works. We do have to do a bit of administration, but less now than when we started with this a couple of years ago. Microsoft continues to improve its self-management capability.

Like I said, Cosmos is the way to go. From all of the services that Azure has, Cosmos is very robust in terms of usability. It's ever-evolving and integrates with other applications seamlessly. The interface is pretty easy to understand. I implemented various solutions for my company and Cosmos was one of them.

The support team is very responsive and we are generally satisfied with Microsoft support, in my opinion support team of a product and service is just as valuable as its quality and performance. Telephone answering, 24-hour hotline, email support and ticketing are excellent.

Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB is more affordable than many other solutions and works incredibly well if you're within the Azure ecosystem.

I've only worked with products that do one thing before, but there's so much that Cache offers versus piecing different services together manually. Not only does the product offer a more robust tool-set, but the support is wonderful and I've never encountered a better vendor in any industry in terms of how well they interact with their customers and care about helping you solve your problems. They want you to grow and to get better.

• Expensive but works if your infra is on Azure data center.
• No latency and nearly no downtime.
• Takes time for end users to adapt.

• A fast ROI due to its rapid programing language allowing the developers to write reliable code in a very short period of time.
