Allows our business to analyze social media data with machine learning and store the data in MongoDB
I have also used Microsoft SQL databases. There's a distinction between SQL and MongoDB because one of them is based on the schema first. The other is not schema, not permanent, because of ACID compliant databases. The transaction is very important at the SQL, MYSQL, and Postgre databases, so if any transaction fails, it has to roll back because of the schema at most of ACID compliant databases. There are 35 million customers that consume those databases, like a POC system. Lots of transactions passing through the system are based on Microsoft SQL. Only semi-structured data – like a document based system like Twitter and social media data – is based on MongoDB.

Offers security and good performance
Price-wise, the tool is expensive, and I feel it is an area where improvements are needed. Oracle Database as a Service is not as popular as other tools because we use AWS and GCP. Oracle is okay in terms of performance for banking businesses and some big companies. As I use the tool in Heineken, I know Oracle is an okay security solution. We use and deploy some applications and features from Oracle that are better than what others offer. The data in the tool is actually stored in the production part, so it is always kept a secret. I don't think that AI has been integrated into the tool. The AI used by Oracle is not as strong as that used by AWS. I recommend the tool to others, especially banking, finance, and insurance companies where the security needs to be better. There is maintenance for the tool required, but I don't know which company does it for our organization. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides quick transaction service, high availability, and efficient scalability features."
"The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering."
"Administering the solution is easy."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"The stability and performance are great. The high availability feature is great. Moreover, I am happy with the automated backup and restore functionality."
"Our databases used to be in-house. Now, they are in the cloud with MongoDB and everything is much easier."
"The initial setup of MongoDB Atlas is straightforward...It is a scalable solution."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is the stopwatch."
"You can be up and running the same day."
"One of the key features is Oracle Database as a Service. We chose to implement it as a service, which provides good performance, for example. Flexibility and other features let us implement database research with the SQL team range of features also."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's scalability and flexibility are very good and implementation is easy."
"The Oracle Multitenant feature of 12c is awesome. This feature enables us to consolidate disparate databases under one container database and eases manageability of the databases. It also allows us to scale."
"We have found all of the features of this solution to be valuable to our organization."
"The most valuable feature is the integration into other Oracle applications."
 

Cons

"The tool's implementation should be made easier."
"I am still new with it, but since I mentioned that I'm using this product for only the last six months and my experience with this product is good thus far, on a scale of one to ten, I would give MongoDB Atlas a six."
"Querying a dataset is not very intuitive, so I think that it can be improved."
"Customer support needs improvement knowledge-wise."
"During the configuration, we did some migrations where we had to reindex about 70,000 indexes, which took around an hour. They should improve this and optimize the indexing."
"The biggest challenge we all have is an application layer level. One node is sitting in the APAC region, another node is sitting in the US and UK region. The seamless replication has to be lightning fast, but we haven't tested the scalability yet."
"There are some features that could be useful for the customers I work with, which are related to migration from on-prem to the cloud."
"The web console isn't very intuitive, especially for large data."
"They should add more integration to the solution."
"Oracle Database as a Service is a good product but costly. Scaling it is challenging."
"The solution's pricing could be less expensive."
"We'd like to see better support for non-structured data and in-memory load."
"The initial setup could improve."
"The solution uses a large amount of CPU space, which could be improved."
"The installation process requires improvement as it can be quite complex."
"The solution provides the same type of RDBMS engine for all use cases. They need to provide different products that will be suitable for all use cases. The solution does not support the documentation of databases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're currently using the Atlas for the night and don't require a license. However, it can be a problem if you want to use their enterprise environment. Then you need to purchase the license."
"MongoDB Atlas is more cost-effective than Amazon DocumentDB. It also has a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Apart from the standard licensing cost, you must also pay to get MongoDB Atlas technical support, which is expensive."
"The pricing is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"The tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"The solution is expensive overall. It does not require a license but if you want the support then you will need to purchase the license. They use a pay-as-you-go model and you are able to receive some discounts by making longer usage commitments."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"It is an open-source platform."
"Oracle Database as a Service is always a bit costly, but it's an excellent service. My company used the on-premises version, and that was costly."
"Oracle Database is less expensive than the previous solution we used."
"For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
"I do not know firsthand about the price of Oracle Database as a Service, but it is known that Oracle solutions tend to be priced higher than competitors."
"Oracle Database as a Service's pricing is good."
"The tool's licensing is on an yearly basis."
"The product is expensive."
"Oracle Database as a Service has a yearly licensing fee, which is expensive."
