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.

Offers reliable engine for legacy needs but requires enhanced cost management and AI features
While MongoDB is a good product, it is also an expensive product for support, and its scalability is acceptable, but the big problem with MongoDB is the cost. For security in MongoDB, we work with encrypted databases by default, but we have not contracted the security options in our contract because it is too expensive, so we only implement encrypted databases without the security pack, which is very expensive for us; in security, we are at the first steps, just using encrypted databases. I think additional features needed in MongoDB include perhaps vector databases, as I think they are not supported right now.

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 most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"I would recommend MongoDB because it is widely used by many organizations."
"MongoDB is the best choice for us when we want to store NoSQL-type data."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is more secure than similar databases."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"We use MongoDB for big data analysis, and we are also developing monitoring tools, planning to use MongoDB to silo out the data structure as our data grows."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"Sometimes, the tool goes down temporarily. There are some stability issues in the product."
"It is important to note that MongoDB has limitations since it can only be used for specific use cases. For example, for master data, I would want to pick keys using an RDBMS, but for attachments, I would choose MongoDB."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"The stability could 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."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"The analytics needs improvement."
 

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."
"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."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
