BK
Technical Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
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.
FG
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
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

"The product enables the users to query results faster."
"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"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."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"We capture more than 30 million records every week in IoT NS and MongoDB has been serving us well so far, making it easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
"MongoDB has helped my organization by being able to handle large amounts of data."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"The solution should have better integration."
"There was a need for integrating relational database capabilities, however, MongoDB has introduced a relational converter that allows conversion between SQL and NoSQL."
"We'd like technical support to respond faster to queries."
"We find it difficult to incorporate MongoDB in some projects."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"This is an open-source solution."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"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."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
