AhmetÖzdemir - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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 product allows us to easily set up and store large amounts of unstructured data."
"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."
"This solution is very helpful due to its ease of use."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering."
"The stability and performance are great. The high availability feature is great. Moreover, I am happy with the automated backup and restore functionality."
"Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance."
"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."
"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."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
"Performance has significantly improved."
"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."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."
"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."
 

Cons

"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."
"We need improved query performance."
"MongoDB Atlas should improve its user experience by providing better explanations or a wizard for people working with its UI."
"Searching and browsing through the collection must be made easier."
"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."
"From an improvement standpoint, MongoDB can improve security."
"If it could be cheaper, that would make us happy."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"Scalability is not straightforward."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"It is too expensive. They need to work on this."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly expensive to use and maintain. They are taking advantage of the users with such a high price."
"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 purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
"The price is too much."
