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."
"MongoDB's dashboards offer more functionalities and allow you to create a dashboard with MongoDB database data."
"MongoDB is extremely developer-friendly because when you are starting, there is very little time needed upfront in terms of planning."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"I think that MongoDB isn't too structured, and that's good for our technical team because they are able to search through the database better than if they are using SQL Server."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"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."
"The solution should more easily integrate with custom code."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"We find it difficult to incorporate MongoDB in some projects."
"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."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"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."
"This is an open-source solution."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"It is rather expensive."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
