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."
"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."
"MongoDB has many good replication features and good performance."
"We haven't had any issues with stability."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"I like the document storage feature. It's pretty simple."
"Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster."
"The installation is very stable."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"There was a need for integrating relational database capabilities, however, MongoDB has introduced a relational converter that allows conversion between SQL and NoSQL."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"This is an open-source solution."
"It's open-source."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"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."
