Featured Reviews

Deepak  Nagar - PeerSpot reviewer
A fast and scalable solution that is secure and can be modified according to the customers’ requirements
The tool is easy to deploy. We have to deploy the agent on the user’s machine. The agent takes 20 minutes to be installed. The tool is deployed in the data center. If the prerequisites are set up already, the product can be deployed in two or three hours. It is a cloud-based solution. We need two support engineers and one senior resource with more than seven years of experience in networking to deploy and maintain the tool. We need one product manager for coordination.
Laksiri Bala - PeerSpot reviewer
Room for improvement in data handling leads to enhanced cost-effective data management performance
It would be beneficial if MongoDB Atlas could better support OLTP aspects and data frames, as well as enhance its capabilities for data pipelines and visualization dashboards. Furthermore, supporting the medallion architecture could be a valuable addition, and incorporating improved spatial and vector handling for geographical data could make it more competitive. Enhancing vector processing for AI capabilities would also be critical.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very useful ............visibility on the end-user,"
"The solution is secure."
"Object-based data storing capability and managing non-structured data capability are the most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas."
"The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering."
"The product allows us to easily set up and store large amounts of unstructured data."
"For security reasons, I prefer MongoDB Atlas. It supports role-based access control, so you have an entity for each individual."
"The solution has a very intuitive user interface."
"It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
"I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support."
"The product is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The connectivity could be faster."
"If there are any issues at the network level, such as users working from home, then it is very hard to catch up with them and resolve issues on the end-user machine."
"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."
"A few areas that we have noticed as being problematic with the MongoDB Atlas include user access to the platform. Currently, it is difficult to restrict and control what actions a user can perform within the solution, which poses a challenge from an internal auditing perspective."
"The product's data aggregation feature needs to work faster."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"Querying a dataset is not very intuitive, so I think that it can be improved."
"An area for improvement in MongoDB Atlas is that it does not support individual or personal database backup, though it supports cloud cluster backup."
"If it could be cheaper, that would make us happy."
"The initial setup is not too difficult but can be somewhat tricky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly expensive to use and maintain. They are taking advantage of the users with such a high price."
"MongoDB Atlas is more cost-effective than Amazon DocumentDB. It also has a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Apart from the standard licensing cost, you must also pay to get MongoDB Atlas technical support, which is expensive."
"MongoDB Atlas is not expensive, and since it's a cloud-based solution, you pay by usage."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"The solution is expensive overall. It does not require a license but if you want the support then you will need to purchase the license. They use a pay-as-you-go model and you are able to receive some discounts by making longer usage commitments."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
