Though user-friendly, it fails to offer a mobile application to users
The product currently fails to offer a mobile application. In the future, I want the solution to offer a mobile application, especially since you can access the services via mobile phone with all the service providers like AWS and others. A mobile application provided by the product can help a user to see the status whenever needed.

Offers reliable engine for legacy needs but requires enhanced cost management and AI features
While MongoDB is a good product, it is also an expensive product for support, and its scalability is acceptable, but the big problem with MongoDB is the cost. For security in MongoDB, we work with encrypted databases by default, but we have not contracted the security options in our contract because it is too expensive, so we only implement encrypted databases without the security pack, which is very expensive for us; in security, we are at the first steps, just using encrypted databases. I think additional features needed in MongoDB include perhaps vector databases, as I think they are not supported right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that EDB Postgres Advanced Server scales well. A valuable feature of the solution is multi-tenancy support. It also supports JSONB."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"We are using real-time analytics and monitoring in MongoDB Enterprise Advanced; it is integrated—the existing advanced feature is integrated with our business analytics interface, and all the various business intelligence reports are generated from that."
"MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial."
"The installation is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in EDB Postgres Advanced Server is JSONB querying. It would be nice to have even stronger JSONB support from the solution."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"There is room for improvement in integrating MongoDB with agentive AI solutions."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"The performance could be faster."
"I have found the solution difficult to operate as an administrator."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"There was a need for integrating relational database capabilities, however, MongoDB has introduced a relational converter that allows conversion between SQL and NoSQL."
