Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"You can quickly aggregate data from the last ten years with Amazon Timestream."
"The best things about Amazon Timestream are it's maintenance-free, customizable, and has no lag issues. It's always real-time."
"If you drop a message, the solution's technical support will definitely reply."
"What I like best is that the tool is easy to collect and store data and is fast and scalable. The fully managed database is easy to understand."
"Using Amazon Timestream has been seamless due to its integration within the AWS ecosystem and ease of use for the engineering team."
"The reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"It's super easy to develop a couple of solutions for clients with MongoDB, like a quick web page with no clear data structure that they need to spin up quickly to validate some sort of MDTP."
"We've found the product to be scalable."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to Text Search can be used anywhere and anytime."
"MongoDB's dashboards offer more functionalities and allow you to create a dashboard with MongoDB database data."
"MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard, so I would say it has impacted our operations positively overall."
"This is a product that I can recommend to others."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are certain features that we would like to see added and we are collaborating with the product teams on these areas."
"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."
"There are disadvantages when it comes to time series databases since you can't delete anything from Amazon Timestream data."
"The tool could be improved by increasing the batch size from one hundred records to five hundred or a thousand to speed up indexing."
"Arranging the database schema is a bit challenging."
"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."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
"There are some problems with bugs appearing in sharding when the data is too high."
"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."
"The pricing is expensive. MongoDB should better support small and medium companies."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay over $10 million a year to Amazon."
"We don't see high costs with Amazon Timestream, which may vary by company."
"Amazon Timestream's pricing seems manageable to me."
"For 1GB of data, the solution charges $ 0.01 in the US region."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"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."
"This is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"I only used the open-source version."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"The product is affordable."
