MongoDB Reviews

We are a logistics company, and we have a lot of data coming from the users. We have a model, but we need to be flexible with that model. That is one of the reasons why we are using MongoDB.

It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us.

There is also a lot of transaction-related support from MongoDB.

The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture. 

Sometimes, there are some problems in creating a connection with two or three tables, such as running two queries at a time or getting a reference from one table to another table. People generally don't use it much to join two or three tables, but I would like them to simplify that process.

It can sometimes be a little bit difficult to understand for a newcomer.

I have been using this solution for one to one and a half years.

There are a lot of articles and a lot of discussions online. So, we pretty much get all the answers that we want. If we have any problems in using it, it gets resolved as soon as possible. There are a lot of communities, and we are able to get the answers.

I was not a part of the installation process. It was already installed when I joined the company or started working with it. So, I don't have much idea about it, but when we install it locally, there is not a lot to do with it. The control that we get from the command prompt of MongoDB makes it easy to use and very convenient.

I would recommend MongoDB to others. It is good in terms of support.

I would rate MongoDB an eight out of 10.

We use it for document storage and testing of a proof of concept.

I like the document storage feature. It's pretty simple. I also like the distribution of databases. It's easier to put information about my users.

It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects. Its become a very big database, and we need a smaller solution for our end-users.

I have been using MongoDB for two years.

MongoDB is stable. It's a good server. If you install perfect hardware tools and follow best practices, it'll be a good solution.

MongoDB is scalable. It's very good.

The initial setup is straightforward. It isn't hard to set up, make a cluster, and distribute.

I would recommend it to potential users who have a big project because MongoDB is good for big projects.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give MongoDB a nine.

MongoDB is a database management program that can be used for large data.

MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added.

The solution could have more integration.

I have been using MongoDB for approximately one year.

I have found MongoDB to be stable.

MongoDB is scalable.

We have approximately 30 people using this solution in my organization. 

We have a team of six engineers and administrators that do the implementation and support of MongoDB.

There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate MongoDB a nine out of ten.

I'm a developer use it for developing. We develop with it. We use it as a service.

We use it in a Docker container.

I'm a developer, so I use it only in development. I'm not an IT professional or upper level guy. It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven. 

In terms of what could be improved, that's a difficult question actually, because we're really very happy with it.

As for what could be included in the next release, I'd like to see an ID generator. It's very technical but I don't think it has one, so we have to go to great lengths to work around that.

I have been using MongoDB for about half a year.

In terms of scalability, all I can say is that in the organization, everybody uses it.

We're not using support.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

There's no license cost, it's open source.

Depending on your project, I would recommend MongoDB.

On a scale of one to ten, because it's free, I'd give MongoDB a 10.

We use it for website designing, and for mobile app designing just like Adobe XD. This is back-end technology that helps in integrating the front end with the back-end systems.

I value the API integrations.

I would like to see the scalability and security improved.

I have been using MongoDB for the past two years.

MongoDB is a stable solution.

It is complex and you need some expertise to deploy it.

We did our deployment in-house.

MongoDB has an open-source model.

I would rate MongoDB a nine out of ten.

We use both SQL and MongoDB and they have similar characteristics. We use both tools for our work. We have less than 50 users on MongoDB in our organization.

Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced.

MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient.

We have been using the latest version for the last two years.

We have some challenges but we are working on them. It should be a bit more stable.

It is scalable.

We have some challenges with support, but we can usually get the right people. Customer support could be more knowledgeable, customer-friendly, and faster.

MongoDB is not a difficult product to setup.

We do not need a big team for deployment, or a high level of technical expertise. We have a couple of managers and admins.

We did not consider another product, as MongoDB was part of the whole implementation.

At this point, I rate MongoDB a 6 out of 10. We are going to keep using MongoDB.

We use this solution to store log files. We have a Cloud telephone product and we use MongoDB to store our calling records. A number of users have access to it. 

We plan to continue using this solution.

MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases. The files are stored in XML format, which is a stable format. 

MongoDB is also great for managing logs.

Databases provide the data and any software can access those databases as per the access protocol — the database itself provides the data.

You can have the same database in multiple geographic locations. You can update it from different locations and the other locations also get updated. In that way, it is a good product. Very good.

You can update the server from another platform (Mongoose) which sits on top of MongoDB and makes it a relational database. The beautiful thing about MongoDB is that it's not a relational database — multiple statements are there so it's easy to access. It serves the purpose for which we are using it.

I suppose it could be a little more secure.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

This solution is both scalable and stable.

We are actually using the community version so we manage it ourselves. We have engaged a consultant so if we have any problems, we just sort it out with him.

We were also using MariaDB, but MongoDB is good for certain situations in which MariaDB is not suited for. For example, managing the database of log files is easier with MongoDB.

You don't need many people to install MongoDB or to fine-tune it. You need a database expert if you have any problems, but it is fairly simple.

I didn't install it. I believe my team had to spend some time learning how to handle MongoDB, so they gained some expertise and they started using it. Overall, installation doesn't take longer than one hour.

I would absolutely recommend this solution to others. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

We use it for big projects. We have multiple DBs on multiple servers, so we have a good performance for it. Sometimes, we are using cloud systems, like Azure, or VMs.

We are using MongoDB like a warehouse for data that has no relation nor a need to scale.

• The document space is the main feature of it. 
• It has good performance.
• The community is great if you have problem.

You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB.

I have been using this solution for two to three years. I have worked with it on multiple projects.

I did have some issues with putting up the server.

I have not used the technical support. If I get stuck, I search for the answers and will luckily find them.

I recommend the solution for my current company. They have used MongoDB for two projects now. We chose MongoDB because of its community.

The initial setup was easy, not complex.

We used consultants for the deployment. The initial deployment took 20 minutes to half an hour. It didn't take long, as it is very simple.

When you compare MongoDB to other DBs like the SQLOne, they are all the same system, in terms of performance. 

I did a benchmark between SQLBase and MongoDB. The performance and some queries in SQLBase are much better.

I would rate the rate the solution as a seven (out of 10).
