Now, we use embedded PostgreSQL vectors, which will undoubtedly reduce the TCO by using a much more cost-effective solution.
Head of cloud, data, and AI at BJSS
Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use.
Cloud Architect at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I would say we see value in money and return on investment with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.1
Azure Database for PostgreSQL offers scalability and flexibility, supporting workload needs with auto-scaling, consistent performance, and high availability.
Sentiment score
7.5
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is praised for its high scalability and adaptability, despite some limitations and cost implications.

Systems Engineer II at ICW Group
Scalability is not an issue on cloud.
DevOps Engineer at Donyati
Maintaining consistent performance while reducing operational complexity.
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technologies
In CosmoDB, the scalability is much better than with the MongoDB ReplicaSet models.
Cloud Architect at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
MongoDB is highly scalable.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate MongoDB an eight; it's mostly because we're still running a monolithic environment on old hardware, so there are some limitations with read-write access.
General Manager at Lytwave
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Azure Database for PostgreSQL offers high stability, scalability, and reliability, with minimal latency issues and consistent performance for businesses.
Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is generally stable, reliable for backups, though performance may vary; rated seven to nine in stability.
It is the go-to database if seeking performance and capacity.
Director at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues; it has been very stable.
Cloud Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Once everything is in the same networking environment, the latency becomes much smaller compared to when I have everything spread across different availability zones and regions, which results in higher latency.
Aws Solutions Architect at ProjectCareer
It's pretty much stable; we have not faced any major challenges or difficulties with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Room For Improvement

Azure Database for PostgreSQL users seek UI improvements, enhanced performance tools, scaling automation, and better monitoring and support.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced can improve by enhancing security, support, integration, scalability, analytics, user interface, and mobile features.
It does not presently support knowledge graph functionalities as Neo4j does.
Product manager at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Some cloud platforms I've used have journeys that guide you through processes, but with Azure Database for PostgreSQL, I have to know exactly what I want to do and navigate there myself.
Aws Solutions Architect at ProjectCareer
Enhanced monitoring dashboards for faster root cause analysis.
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technologies
While solutions for other databases like SQL or PostgreSQL already exist, MongoDB requires additional integrations for developing AI solutions.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have not contracted the security options in our contract because they're too expensive; thus, we implement just encrypted databases and not the security pack.
Cloud Architect at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Setup Cost

Azure Database for PostgreSQL offers cost-effective scaling and savings, but requires careful cost monitoring for maximum benefit.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced offers cost-effective pricing with various editions and support, valued by small businesses for enterprise transition.
We've reduced costs by 60 percent compared to maintaining on-premises solutions.
Director, Alliances & Engineering at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
We chose it because it is more cost-effective than Microsoft SQL.
Cloud Solutions Architect at Measurement Incorporated
Once you are comfortable and ready to make some commitments, you get about 30 percent saving if you are going with one-year or three-year reservation cost.
Staff Data Engineer at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees
We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have to pay approximately 2,000 euros per month for MongoDB.
Cloud Architect at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
For a small company, the cost of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is reasonable, but for heavy data usage, we see a little bit of cost pressure but it's acceptable.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Valuable Features

Azure Database for PostgreSQL provides high availability, scalability, security, and seamless Azure integration, enhancing reliability and reducing administration.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced provides scalable, stable, and flexible data management with advanced analytics, NoSQL features, and comprehensive security.
My takeaway as a CTO is that they're comfortable with the security posture, the features, the observability, alerts, and now it integrates into the rest of the Azure landscape.
Head of cloud, data, and AI at BJSS
The query analyzers help me find out what's happening in each of the queries.
IT Director at Infosys
If a database has any task that has been interrupted or any connection issue, it will alert LogicMonitor, and we have a centralized panel for all the alerts.
System Engineer II at a insurance company with 501-1,000 employees
It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and add new data points.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
In ReplicaSet, it's acceptable, but if your workload needs more performance, and you must pass to a Sharding model, it becomes complicated in MongoDB; in Cosmos DB, however, it's simple.
Cloud Architect at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard.
General Manager at Lytwave

Featured Reviews

Sathish Palanisamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Staff Data Engineer at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees
Improves database performance, supports AI integration, and accelerates customer-focused innovation
Azure Database for PostgreSQL can be improved in the area of elastic capabilities. One of the things we were actively looking for is the elastic feature, which was made a GA at this Ignite event. I am really happy that finally in Azure, we have a product which we can use for elastic clusters. If you are bound with a single server, then you have a vertical limit. Now you do not have any limits. As long as your use case grows, we can grow. The only thing I would maybe be thinking about is we should also allow customers to pick different node sizes for every node inside the elastic eventually. Some nodes do not need that big capacity. So that may be a nice-to-have feature, though it is not a must-have at this point.
Romel Jr Zerna - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at Pioneer Dev AI
Document data has streamlined prototyping and now supports secure cloud deployments
I use the cloud version of the product. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is from MongoDB, though I also use DigitalOcean as a third-party provider. Maybe it's all more about preferences. I think MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has weak support on the ORM side, particularly if you're using Prisma. I think mostly the focus now on the tools we have is PostgreSQL. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is not really used that much on our side for production. It's not really a weak point. It's more of a double-edged sword. If you like document-based management databases and you don't want any migrations, then you go to MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. If you want more secure databases, then you use SQL. On the account management and the way you secure the connection strings, I have utilized advanced security features with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side. But if you go to other providers of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, such as DigitalOcean, it may be harder to set up, but they can save you money.
