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.

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."
"I value the API integrations."
"It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us."
"It is easy to use."
"MongoDB has a simple data-loading interface."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"The Dynamic Application is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"I don't see a lot of areas that need improvement."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use."
"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 solution should more easily integrate with custom code."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"MongoDB can improve large-size video or media frame operations. There are a lot of customers who want to upload media frames and video games but there is some difficulty. In MongoDB, we are looking out for solutions that are for large-size media files that can be saved and navigated efficiently."
"The analytics needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"This is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"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 product is affordable."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
