BK
Technical Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
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.

Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
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

"The product enables the users to query results faster."
"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"It's easy to add and remove things in MongoDB. You can alter the tables. MongoDB is faster at reading, slower at writings."
"The tool is also user-friendly."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"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 improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"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."
"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"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."
"I only used the open-source version."
"It is rather expensive."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"The product is affordable."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
