Developers have benefited from flexibility and performance but pricing has needed further attention
I am only familiar with databases and applications. I am from the development team and I am a user of database and cloud but I don't know the infrastructure. As a user, I deal with the Oracle Database. I know the organization has a license with the product. We don't utilize real-time analytics with MongoDB Atlas. I don't use MongoDB Atlas directly, so I don't know how it can be improved. I would place MongoDB Atlas at a medium level. I would rate it at a six or seven. I believe MongoDB Atlas can improve a little. My overall review rating for this product is six out of ten.

Pros

"Using Amazon Timestream has been seamless due to its integration within the AWS ecosystem and ease of use for the engineering team."

"If you drop a message, the solution's technical support will definitely reply."
"The solution has a very intuitive user interface."
"It supports many functionalities, is easier to implement, and the only issue is speed."
"MongoDB Atlas is a platform as a service and it has proven to be particularly valuable due to its self-managing nature. This has allowed us to minimize the amount of time and effort required to manage it, as it effectively manages itself. Additionally, it is a complete solution when looking at its features."
"Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance."
"It enables us to get work done quickly and get to our data."
"It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
"The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture."
"The initial setup of MongoDB Atlas is straightforward...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"There are disadvantages when it comes to time series databases since you can't delete anything from Amazon Timestream data."
"Arranging the database schema is a bit challenging."
"The solution could be improved by making it easier for new graduates like me to use. Better explanations of queries and how to use them with other AWS services would help."
"The tool could be improved by increasing the batch size from one hundred records to five hundred or a thousand to speed up indexing."
"There are certain features that we would like to see added and we are collaborating with the product teams on these areas."
"When we make transactions, they do not process in real-time and require a refresh."
"I would like a better dashboard. It could be made a bit more user friendly."
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products."
"The speed when combining two documents is concerning."
"The tool's implementation should be made easier."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"The UI is not currently designed in a manner to make it possible for a non-technical person or a layman to update the database easily."
"The administration is not very interactive. It's not very friendly for developers."
