We performed a comparison between Firebird SQL and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Firebird SQL is an open-source solution and can run on most operating systems, such as Linux, Unix, and Windows."
"I appreciate the fact that, once the database is embedded, it doesn't need to be administered, and removes the requirement for a specific server."
"The solution is very useful for stock management."
"The product was easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Firebird SQL is the creation of databases."
"The documentation is very well written."
"Robustness is the absolutely main feature."
"I can deploy it on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows — it's very easy."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to Text Search can be used anywhere and anytime."
"It is easy to set up."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"I like the document storage feature. It's pretty simple."
"We've found the product to be scalable."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"In our case, it is most important to have redundancy."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"On large databases, we have some difficulties."
"Database sharing is a capability that Firebird SQL lacks."
"It would be nice to have a graphical user interface to handle the product."
"It would be interesting if they added functionality with redundancy, reputation, and variability."
"The main feature I expect is to be able to work with different databases at the same time because that's a wishlist item for me."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable, because the scalability of the performance when using more than one process is not very good."
"It would be good to have more automation and integration with the tools from other vendors."
"It is not easy to integrate the tool with Visual Studio."
"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
"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."
"The performance of the solution could be improved."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy. For example, creating an index is simple in Oracle. In MongoDB, it's quite challenging to do that. Performance could be better. It's fast and good, but you cannot put every application that you would like to in MongoDB."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"I think that MongoDB's search engine should be improved."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
