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."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support."
"The features that I have found most valuable include the very easy integrations. The integrations are fantastic. I have not faced any challenges from the integration standpoint."
"Administering the solution is easy."
"The auto-scaling feature is the most valuable aspect."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature, as it is pretty simple."
"As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
"Oracle has helped our organization by being a reliable solution that is stable with zero crashes. The differentiation between Oracle's database and other databases is that Oracle needs more attention. It's not a click here, click there solution, it needs more time put in, but once you do that, it's ready to go and you can forget about it."
"You can be up and running the same day."
"In terms of features, I find Automated Storage Management (ASM) and Data Guard most helpful for improving data security and reliability."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is the object types. The object types are not available in other databases, such as SQL and Postgres. Additionally, the security is very good."
"As a database administrator, it has a lot of features to help you manage the database and the backup."
"We have found all of the features of this solution to be valuable to our organization."
"The solution is scalable, has support & right incident, and allows easy data recovery."
"It has significantly enhanced our application development process by introducing substantial time savings and streamlining routine tasks."
 

Cons

"The UI is not currently designed in a manner to make it possible for a non-technical person or a layman to update the database easily."
"MongoDB Atlas should add more APIs in their Terraform module because sometimes I find it difficult to find the resources in their Terraform model."
"The import and export process needs improvement, i.e., getting in and out. Moving data from other databases into MongoDB, along with indexing, was challenging."
"We need improved query performance."
"I would like to have better performance for user experience with the solution."
"A few areas that we have noticed as being problematic with the MongoDB Atlas include user access to the platform. Currently, it is difficult to restrict and control what actions a user can perform within the solution, which poses a challenge from an internal auditing perspective."
"In the past, MongoDB offered more features for free, but now it's quite limited. The free version is limited, and you need to pay extra to fully utilize it. The pricing could be improved."
"An area for improvement in MongoDB Atlas is that it does not support individual or personal database backup, though it supports cloud cluster backup."
"The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great."
"It would be better if we could have a little bit of automation or a chance for autoscaling with Oracle Database as a Service."
"Oracle Database as a Service could improve the performance when monitoring."
"The solution’s price could be reduced."
"Oracle Database as a Service is a good product but costly. Scaling it is challenging."
"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."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the price of the solution should be lowered."
"Oracle Database as a Service's initial setup was very complex."
 

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."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"We pay for a license."
"Comparing the price between the MongoDB and Microsoft SQL Server, we are using the enterprise edition of Microsoft SQL Server, which is more expensive than MongoDB."
"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 tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of the solution depends on the scale of how you will use it."
"Customers need to pay extra costs for the solution based on their scope and business."
"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."
"If your organization is not making that much money, then I don't think you should use the enterprise or any other expensive versions of the solution. I recommend the tool for bigger companies."
"Oracle Database as a Service's pricing is good."
"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."
"The solution is on the expensive side, but I recommend it because it's a good database."
"For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
