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."
"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB include the flexible schema for storing data, its replication capabilities with high availability through a replica set setup, and horizontal scalability using sharding."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"It's super easy to develop a couple of solutions for clients with MongoDB, like a quick web page with no clear data structure that they need to spin up quickly to validate some sort of MDTP."
"like its performance and the stability. It's very stable and, performance-wise, it's really great."
"I like the document storage feature. It's pretty simple."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"The analytics needs improvement."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"MongoDB could improve by not having so many updates and different versions."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
 

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."
"If you want support with the solution you will need to purchase a license and not use the open-source version. The license is a little expensive."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
