Room for improvement in data handling leads to enhanced cost-effective data management performance
It would be beneficial if MongoDB Atlas could better support OLTP aspects and data frames, as well as enhance its capabilities for data pipelines and visualization dashboards. Furthermore, supporting the medallion architecture could be a valuable addition, and incorporating improved spatial and vector handling for geographical data could make it more competitive. Enhancing vector processing for AI capabilities would also be critical.
Duy AnhMai - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"MongoDB Atlas was explicitly designed to support IoT applications. Many databases offer features tailored for IoT use cases."
"As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
"This solution is very helpful due to its ease of use."
"The most useful feature is the management of the backup."
"The key feature of MongoDB Atlas that has been helpful for us is the ease of deploying new databases."
"The most valuable feature is that it's all web-based. So one can browse collections just from the web. MongoDB Atlas is very accessible, quick to understand, and quick to learn. People who have never used CLI can hop into the web interface and browse the database."
"For security reasons, I prefer MongoDB Atlas. It supports role-based access control, so you have an entity for each individual."
"You can be up and running the same day."
"My impression of the scalability of Oracle Database as a Service is very high."
"The product's implementation was pretty straightforward."
"Scalability is very easy. If you want to, you can make it onto two or three servers, racks, or whatever you want. It's easy."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is the stopwatch."
"The solution is quite stable and renewable."
"Data Guard is the best solution for Disaster Recovery."
"In terms of features, I find Automated Storage Management (ASM) and Data Guard most helpful for improving data security and reliability."
 

Cons

"We had some edge cases where scalability was an issue where a node went offline, and we had to deal with that."
"The UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work."
"We had some bad trainers when we first came onboard and would rate them fairly low. They did not seem staffed properly to fulfill the training services that they offered."
"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."
"When I edit a document from a document, a lot of clicking is involved, like changing data type manually from a drop-down. It would be super nice if I could just edit the document in a JSON format. The JSON-based document editor should have a multi-language feature. Also, it would be great if there was a connect option from Google Looker Studio."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
"The speed when combining two documents is concerning."
"The product is very expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the data migration process."
"The ROI has not been good."
"The installation process requires improvement as it can be quite complex."
"The solution can be improved by reducing the pricing, making the deployment less complex, and increasing security."
"On the cloud services, they need to improve some console-level items, including the logging of the databases on the console level."
"Some of the technical features could be improved. They have a problem with some of the object types. I think this is one of the issues which is needed to be improved."
"I would like to improve the stability of the Oracle database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
"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."
"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."
"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 price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."
"The solution is based on an annual fee."
"It is an expensive product. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price depends on the solution you choose: standard, enterprise, or high performance. For example, enterprise can start between 0.4 an hour up to 1,800. Additional fees also depends on what package you choose. Your feels will be different if you choose the standard, enterprise, high performance, or extreme package. You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases."
"The cost for Oracle Database as a Service is higher than that for other similar solutions."
"The price of the solution depends on the scale of how you will use it."
"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."
