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

"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."
"I like that EDB Postgres Advanced Server scales well. A valuable feature of the solution is multi-tenancy support. It also supports JSONB."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"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 low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"MongoDB's dashboards offer more functionalities and allow you to create a dashboard with MongoDB database data."
"Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster."
"We can define security rules at the database level or the cluster level to grant or deny access to particular users."
"MongoDB has a simple data-loading interface."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"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."
"They could improve the UI and the analytics part."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"It would be good to have scalability for clusters. For example, if we have three clusters, we should be able to increase to five clusters if required. I am not sure if such a feature is currently there. I hope there is good documentation for this."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"The analytics needs improvement."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"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."
"When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source product."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"It is rather expensive."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"This is an open-source solution."
"The product is affordable."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"It's open-source."
