Director of Engineering at Ola
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.

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.

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 very easy to create a MongoDB cluster; you can deploy three nodes in one hour and do small configurations to enable routing, making it easy to implement."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to Text Search can be used anywhere and anytime."
"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."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"The support from MongoDB has been great; we had to work with them during the data validation and support was helpful, with a lot of people giving revisions during the migration and working for every dollar paid, and we had a good experience with their technical support team."
"It is very easy to create a MongoDB cluster. You can deploy three nodes in one hour. You can do small configurations to enable routing. It is easy to implement."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"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."
"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."
"It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects."
"When I want to connect to a node, I need to supply the certificate that MongoDB trusts, even though I use an admin password."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"The stability could be better."
"Sometimes, the tool goes down temporarily. There are some stability issues in the product."
"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."

"MongoDB is not expensive."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
