We performed a comparison between Apache HBase and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, Apache and others in NoSQL Databases."Apache HBase is a database used for data storage."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"We've found the product to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the NoSQL database. In a SQL database, we need to join data together with a unique ID amongst other things, but in MongoDB, it's not required. We can directly receive all the information. The performance is very good. Additionally, they have frequent updates."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"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."
"I don't like using Apache HBase to store huge amounts of data because of many performance issues."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."
"It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"The MongoDB documentation can be a little complicated sometimes."
"The dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
Apache HBase is ranked 10th in NoSQL Databases with 1 review while MongoDB is ranked 1st in NoSQL Databases with 68 reviews. Apache HBase is rated 4.0, while MongoDB is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Apache HBase writes "The solution has many performance issues, though it helps manage consumer data sets". On the other hand, the top reviewer of MongoDB writes "Lightweight with good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data". Apache HBase is most compared with Accumulo, ScyllaDB, Cassandra, Aerospike Database and CouchDB, whereas MongoDB is most compared with InfluxDB, Couchbase, ScyllaDB, Oracle NoSQL and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop.
