JK
Staff Infrastructure Engineer at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Centralized research workspace has streamlined GPU access and simplified remote collaboration
The best features Coder offers include easy integration into a remote environment that is accessible from everywhere, VS Code integrations, and AI integrations. The AI integrations I mentioned include various ways people access AI, such as using Cursor and Claude with various models. We have fairly extensive licensing as we are a biologics company, so the integration with Anthropic's Life Sciences has been wonderful as well as the integration with cloud workflow. Coder has positively impacted my organization by providing a central place for people to run their research and enabling us as administrators to focus on one aspect of researcher interactions with our clusters, so we do not have to provide much education or options for integrating their workflows into our clusters.
Lintz Veloso - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a government with 11-50 employees
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coder is very stable and incredibly reliable."
"Coder is a strong solution for developers who want a consistent cloud-based and repeatable development environment."
"The initial setup of MongoDB Atlas is straightforward...It is a scalable solution."
"The dynamic structures are the most valuable."
"It's a very elastic solution for the purposes of our systems and the developers appreciate it for software development."
"I would recommend MongoDB Atlas for those who want to start using it."
"The product is user-friendly."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering."
"What I found most valuable in MongoDB Atlas is its Elasticsearch feature. It also has high availability, so it's stable."
 

Cons

"Coder can be improved by making setup easier for users who are not very experienced with infrastructure or Terraform style."
"The cost needs improvement."
"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
"The web console isn't very intuitive, especially for large data."
"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 UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work."
"The product's file storage documentation needs improvement."
"Customer support needs improvement knowledge-wise."
"I would like to have better performance for user experience with the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Comparing the price between the MongoDB and Microsoft SQL Server, we are using the enterprise edition of Microsoft SQL Server, which is more expensive than MongoDB."
"Pricing could always be better."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"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."
"In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"For me, MongoDB is expensive, but I think it is not so expensive for customers."
"The pricing is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
