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

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."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"The reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"The solution has good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data."
"We haven't had any issues with stability."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"MongoDB should improve its data loading part."
"I would recommend MongoDB as part of a template if anyone is considering free and open-source templating services such as LibreNMS, but as a standalone, I couldn't advise."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"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."
"At the start, connecting to the database via Compass or through a direct ID was a challenge."
"People coming from RDBMS should have the flexibility to write queries in SQL that can be converted into JSON queries."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
 

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."
"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."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"This is an open-source solution."
