Lightweight with good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data
I used the solution in the production level to search data and create education-based tutorials for a project. We had 30 managers, senior architects, tech leads, and software engineers working on the project.  Currently, I use the solution for my personal work.  The solution has good flexibility…

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go 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…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
"It is easy to set up."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"In our case, it is most important to have redundancy."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"The tool performs well."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"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."
 

Cons

"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy. For example, creating an index is simple in Oracle. In MongoDB, it's quite challenging to do that. Performance could be better. It's fast and good, but you cannot put every application that you would like to in MongoDB."
"It isn't easy to recognize entities with MongoDB."
"The performance can be improved."
"It would be good to have scalability for clusters. For example, if we have three clusters, we should be able to increase to five clusters if required. I am not sure if such a feature is currently there. I hope there is good documentation for this."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"MongoDB should improve its data loading part."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"The solution should more easily integrate with custom code."
"The licensing model is bad."
"The installation is difficult."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"This is an open-source solution."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"The product is affordable."
"If you want support with the solution you will need to purchase a license and not use the open-source version. The license is a little expensive."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
