A fast and affordable solution that is scalable and has a nice dashboard
The product enables the users to query results faster. It maintains all the versions of the changes done on a specific node. A traditional blockchain would take time, but Amazon QLDB is a bit faster. We have to do many operations in blockchain to read data, but QLDB comes with an easy syntax. The product provides a nice dashboard to view all the information.

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

"The product enables the users to query results faster."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"MongoDB is extremely developer-friendly because when you are starting, there is very little time needed upfront in terms of planning."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"The performance of the solution could be improved."
"I would like to see the scalability and security improved."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"It should have GUI for managing clusters. MongoDB needs a more powerful GUI to manage clusters and make switchovers. Currently, there is no good, free tool to check the replication to find out if there is a gap."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"It's open-source."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"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 pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
