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 solution is easily scalable and manageable. Tools can be easily added to the solution."
"There are many valuable features, but scalability stands out. It can scale across zones. You can define multiple nodes. They have also partnered with AWS, offering great service with multiple features, including built-in backup, all under the same roof, without the need for external tools."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The key feature of MongoDB Atlas that has been helpful for us is the ease of deploying new databases."
"What I found most valuable in MongoDB Atlas is its Elasticsearch feature. It also has high availability, so it's stable."
"It is a scalable solution because we use quite a lot of data, and it handles it well."
"Being schemaless is what I like best about MongoDB Atlas."
"Our databases used to be in-house. Now, they are in the cloud with MongoDB and everything is much easier."
"Performance has significantly improved."
"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."
"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

"MongoDB Atlas should add more APIs in their Terraform module because sometimes I find it difficult to find the resources in their Terraform model."
"We had some edge cases where scalability was an issue where a node went offline, and we had to deal with that."
"The product's data aggregation feature needs to work faster."
"The UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work."
"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."
"The speed when combining two documents is concerning."
"The tool's implementation should be made easier."
"Going forward, we would like to have pure AWS Cloud (native) storage instead regular storage on the AWS integration side."
"Scalability is not straightforward."
"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."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is too expensive. They need to work on this."
"In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"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 price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"MongoDB Atlas is not expensive, and since it's a cloud-based solution, you pay by usage."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
"The price is too much."
