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

"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"I like that EDB Postgres Advanced Server scales well. A valuable feature of the solution is multi-tenancy support. It also supports JSONB."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"This product has allowed us to reduce costs in some parts of our infrastructure without losing functionality."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"The backup utility tools such as pg_restore and pg_dump are really convenient and efficient tools to handle backup and recovery."
"The solution scales very well and is very easy to replicate."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"It's super easy to develop a couple of solutions for clients with MongoDB, like a quick web page with no clear data structure that they need to spin up quickly to validate some sort of MDTP."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
 

Cons

"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"Postgres performance is suffering and the product model is not doing enough to keep current."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"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."
"It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects."
"I think that MongoDB's search engine should be improved."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."
"The free tools, like MongoDB Compass, could be enhanced."
"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"It is an open-source product."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
