Luca Botti - PeerSpot reviewer
Supportive features enable effective data management and growth
I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support. The pricing is quite scalable and applies to various scenarios, both for smaller and bigger companies. MongoDB Atlas has supported our data growth well, and my overall impression is very positive. It is easy to work with and has a reliable support structure. For structured data storage and performance, it provides a comprehensive solution, and the feedback was generally positive.
RODRIGOPETERSON - PeerSpot reviewer
Leverages cloud capabilities and offers minimal latency with operation model
Customers have less operational burden and more responsibility regarding the management of hardware. Increasing the scale of Oracle Exadata Cloud provides more capacity, higher performance, and expanded storage, CPU, and memory resources. If you need to scale Oracle's capacity up or down, the appliance can be adjusted on-premise. When you purchase Oracle Exadata Cloud, you must acquire either a half or full rack. If you need to increase capacity, you can scale up by adding more hardware. This hardware commitment lasts four to five years, meaning you must maintain this infrastructure and continue payments for that period. While you can scale up to meet increased demands, scaling down is more challenging. I recommend the solution when the customer desires to transition to a cloud-native solution but needs to retain their data in OpenEdge due to compatibility issues or the requirement to interact with on-premise systems to minimize latency. This solution offers minimal latency and modernizes Oracle capabilities through a gateway. Overall, I rate the solution 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 speed of it is the most valuable feature."
"It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
"The solution has a very intuitive user interface."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"The cloud-based nature of this solution makes it flexible and scalable."
"It is a scalable solution because we use quite a lot of data, and it handles it well."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature, as it is pretty simple."
"The initial setup of MongoDB Atlas is straightforward...It is a scalable solution."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
"Exporting and importing is easy because of its cleanliness, making the process easier. However, setting up the Data Guard was more difficult. Despite this, the client experienced lower downtime."
"The most valuable feature is that it is based on Exadata infrastructure, which is Oracle 's leading engineered system that is trusted, fault-tolerant, and has unique performance features."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."
"Performance has significantly improved."
"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."
 

Cons

"That is the only drawback that I find with MongoDB: creating the trigger."
"The product's data aggregation feature needs to work faster."
"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."
"It would be great if it were easier to integrate MongoDB Atlas with AWS services. Technical support for MongoDB Atlas could be better."
"The product's file storage documentation needs improvement."
"Based on its own habitat, it's not ACID compliant. If it had an ACID compliant option, it would be more useful for database administration."
"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
"From an improvement standpoint, MongoDB can improve security."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
"The solution is expensive."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is that they need to train more partners to gain more knowledge because currently, they are keeping a lot to themselves. For example, they are still keeping a lot of information on their campus, so information sharing is limited."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"Scalability is not straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"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."
"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 not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"The tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
"MongoDB Atlas is not expensive, and since it's a cloud-based solution, you pay by usage."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
"The price is too much."
