Manikandan Gunasekaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Boost authentication and session management with reliable and fast data handling
There is a lot of technical debt in our company, and we need to update to the latest versions. The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern. A tool for automatically handling such upgrades would reduce operational huddle. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Aerospike had a community version to encourage broader adoption and experimentation.
Hamidul Islam - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight with good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data
I used the solution in the production level to search data and create education-based tutorials for a project. We had 30 managers, senior architects, tech leads, and software engineers working on the project.  Currently, I use the solution for my personal work.  The solution has good flexibility…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It shows better compression and compaction, which is valuable."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"MongoDB is cool. There is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB. MongoDB is scalable and fast."
"The installation is very easy to do and understand."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"My impression is that the initial setup is straightforward."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"We find it difficult to incorporate MongoDB in some projects."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy. For example, creating an index is simple in Oracle. In MongoDB, it's quite challenging to do that. Performance could be better. It's fast and good, but you cannot put every application that you would like to in MongoDB."
"The solution should have better integration."
"It would be good to have scalability for clusters. For example, if we have three clusters, we should be able to increase to five clusters if required. I am not sure if such a feature is currently there. I hope there is good documentation for this."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"The performance can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use around half a TB of data and spend approximately $36,000 to $40,000 USD per year on Aerospike."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"This is an open-source solution."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"It's open-source."
