Manikandan Gunasekaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Boost authentication and session management with reliable and fast data handling
There is a lot of technical debt in our company, and we need to update to the latest versions. The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern. A tool for automatically handling such upgrades would reduce operational huddle. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Aerospike had a community version to encourage broader adoption and experimentation.
Uzair Faruqi - PeerSpot reviewer
Transforms data flow with adaptable schema and smooth public cloud deployment

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It shows better compression and compaction, which is valuable."
"Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster."
"I found that MongoDB is most valuable for storing school-related queries. It's also user-friendly, and I found no difficulty accessing it. Setting it up is easy too."
"It's super easy to develop a couple of solutions for clients with MongoDB, like a quick web page with no clear data structure that they need to spin up quickly to validate some sort of MDTP."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"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 performance can be improved."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use around half a TB of data and spend approximately $36,000 to $40,000 USD per year on Aerospike."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"The product is affordable."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"This is an open-source solution."
