BK
A fast and affordable solution that is scalable and has a nice dashboard
The product enables the users to query results faster. It maintains all the versions of the changes done on a specific node. A traditional blockchain would take time, but Amazon QLDB is a bit faster. We have to do many operations in blockchain to read data, but QLDB comes with an easy syntax. The product provides a nice dashboard to view all the information.

Transforms data flow with adaptable schema and smooth public cloud deployment
One of our business units uses MongoDB, and we developed an ETL pipeline that extracts data from MongoDB and transfers it into our data warehouse MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is similar to a document database. It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product enables the users to query results faster."
"It is easy to set up."
"The Dynamic Application is a valuable feature."
"MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"My impression is that the initial setup is straightforward."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
"It should have GUI for managing clusters. MongoDB needs a more powerful GUI to manage clusters and make switchovers. Currently, there is no good, free tool to check the replication to find out if there is a gap."
"It is important to note that MongoDB has limitations since it can only be used for specific use cases. For example, for master data, I would want to pick keys using an RDBMS, but for attachments, I would choose MongoDB."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"We find it difficult to incorporate MongoDB in some projects."
"At the start, connecting to the database via Compass or through a direct ID was a challenge."
"When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
