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.

Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

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."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to Text Search can be used anywhere and anytime."
"I like its performance and the stability; it's very stable and, performance-wise, it's really great."
"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 is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"I like the document storage feature. It's pretty simple."
"It's easy to add and remove things in MongoDB. You can alter the tables. MongoDB is faster at reading, slower at writings."
"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 is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get, there are a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us, and there is also a lot of transaction-related support from MongoDB."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"There is room for improvement in integrating MongoDB with agentive AI solutions."
"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."
"It isn't easy to recognize entities with MongoDB."
"We'd like technical support to respond faster to queries."
"Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use."
"The performance can be improved."
"I have found the solution difficult to operate as an administrator."
"People coming from RDBMS should have the flexibility to write queries in SQL that can be converted into JSON queries."
 

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."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"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."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
