Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
Offers reliable engine for legacy needs but requires enhanced cost management and AI features
While MongoDB is a good product, it is also an expensive product for support, and its scalability is acceptable, but the big problem with MongoDB is the cost. For security in MongoDB, we work with encrypted databases by default, but we have not contracted the security options in our contract because it is too expensive, so we only implement encrypted databases without the security pack, which is very expensive for us; in security, we are at the first steps, just using encrypted databases. I think additional features needed in MongoDB include perhaps vector databases, as I think they are not supported right now.

Support on banking at Aithent
Handles large data volumes effectively but connection issues require attention
The Oracle NoSQL solution is used primarily for storing data for our web applications. We work alongside the DBA team for this purpose, given that specific departments manage aspects of its use. We choose it specifically to handle large scales of data, such as in one of our bank customer's scenarios using more than nine hundred gigabytes of data.

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 user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
"I would recommend MongoDB because it is widely used by many organizations."
"The tool is also user-friendly."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"We chose MongoDB because of its community."
"Most of the features are very nice and MongoDB is a solution that I would recommend."
"MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial."
"MongoDB has many good replication features and good performance."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"Try it! You’ll be impressed."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
"With Oracle NoSQL, our clients have a highly scalable, simple to set up database that performs very well when data is organized correctly from the beginning."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"So far, we find stability to be very reasonable, it is dependable and we do not have any big issues."
"The features I've found to be most valuable are the speed of reading and writing (read/write performance levels are really high), the transactions model (semantics for data manipulation), and just the overall simplicity of using it."
 

Cons

"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
"We find it difficult to incorporate MongoDB in some projects."
"I have found the solution difficult to operate as an administrator."
"The performance could be faster."
"They could improve the UI and the analytics part."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"The main areas that need improvement with NoSQL are in the area of big data and user-friendly presentation."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"Personally, I’d like to see some improvements in the monitoring UI for it."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"You will get high performance when you organize your data correctly at the beginning. Otherwise, there are instability issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"The product is affordable."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
