Room for improvement in data handling leads to enhanced cost-effective data management performance
It would be beneficial if MongoDB Atlas could better support OLTP aspects and data frames, as well as enhance its capabilities for data pipelines and visualization dashboards. Furthermore, supporting the medallion architecture could be a valuable addition, and incorporating improved spatial and vector handling for geographical data could make it more competitive. Enhancing vector processing for AI capabilities would also be critical.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's documentation is excellent. It's well-organized, easy to use, simple, and easily readable. I can usually find answers to my questions quickly in the docs."
"The solution's most valuable feature is infrastructure as code (IaC)."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
"What I found most valuable in MongoDB Atlas is its Elasticsearch feature. It also has high availability, so it's stable."
"The auto-scaling feature is the most valuable aspect."
"I rate MongoDB Atlas a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
 

Cons

"You need knowledge and experience to use Terraform, Vault, and other HashiCorp tools."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to ensure some bug fixes."
"It would be good if college or university students could explore HashiCorp Cloud Platform to a certain extent as an open-source solution."
"If it could be cheaper, that would make us happy."
"The product's data aggregation feature needs to work faster."
"I would like a better dashboard. It could be made a bit more user friendly."
"The web console isn't very intuitive, especially for large data."
"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
"They could explore ways to facilitate deploying MongoDB containers within the platform."
"We had some edge cases where scalability was an issue where a node went offline, and we had to deal with that."
"The product does not have ORM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For my side, the tool is not expensive. It is a very flexible product that you can utilize. I think the tool is a little bit expensive for smaller companies, especially startups."
"The solution's pricing is moderate according to industry standard prices."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"It is an open-source platform."
"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."
"The pricing is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
