System Properties Comparison Couchbase vs. Kyligence Enterprise vs. Newts vs. Riak TS vs. RRDtool

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

A distributed document store with integrated cache, a powerful search engine, in-built operational and analytical capabilities, and an embedded mobile database

A distributed analytics engine for big data, built on top of Apache Kylin

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Primary database model

Document store

Relational DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Key-value store

originating from the former Membase product and supporting the Memcached protocol
Spatial DBMS

using the Geocouch extension
Search engine
Time Series DBMS
Vector DBMS
