Couchbase versus G2
Compare	Couchbase	G2
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	High-throughput distributed NoSQL at scale	B2B software buyers shortlisting tools
Who it's not for	Small apps and prototypes . Postgres or SQLite is plenty	Vendors without five-figure budgets
Privacy	Multiple public CVEs affect Couchbase Server; the Capella cloud holds ISO 27001 certification.^⁹	No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach.
Support quality	No direct support evidence in sources	Trustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service
Public sentiment	Users praise ease of use and built-in features but flag licensing costs, a smaller community than MongoDB, and painful recovery moments.^¹	Buyers find G2 useful for breadth, but sentiment on G2's own service skews negative on Trustpilot and Redditors weigh it against Capterra and Trustpilot.
Biggest gotcha	Public reports of restore tools failing mid-recovery . test your backups before trusting them	Vendor contracts are negotiated and opaque; budget five figures annually before committing.
