A stable and scalable tool that serves as a great database
The initial setup of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is easy. I am not sure how long it took to deploy HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric, but I haven't heard about any disadvantages when it comes to the time taken for the deployment. I remember that one of our company's clients who had purchased the product never mentioned the product's setup phase being complex. One of the drawbacks with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric stems from the fact that the product's upgrade was not straightforward, and it was a complex process since one of the teams in my company who deals with the tool found the upgrade part to be tough. The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. My company has two dedicated staff members to look after the deployment and maintenance phases of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.

The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"My first choice is MapR, as it is more adaptable to different contexts, and it could be customized in some way to fit the different needs, and this is my first choice and my first advice to people who ask me about this particular platform."
"This product enabled us opening up endless possibilities in data analytics, IOE/IOT, and predictive analysis."
"My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions. The previous solution that we used did not have unified analytics like the runtime or the analog."
"Our customer purchased a paid support service and so far MapR has addressed our issues well."
"Initial setup is rather straightforward thanks to detailed documentation covering all the bases."
"I highly recommend MapR."
"Outside of human error, MapR is probably the most stable of the major releases."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it is easy to use and even a non-technical person will be able to understand it."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
"I like the document storage feature. It's pretty simple."
"MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer."
"I found that MongoDB is most valuable for storing school-related queries. It's also user-friendly, and I found no difficulty accessing it. Setting it up is easy too."
"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."
 

Cons

"Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work."
"Installations and setups are still a bit cryptic and can be improved."
"The biggest drawback is that it has vendor locking."
"I'd say we've had issues with pricing."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"The interface part, what I'm calling the integration part, could be improved."
"One weakness for MapR is the Kerberos support."
"The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time."
"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap and based on a usage basis. The solution's licensing costs are yearly and there are no extra costs."
"There is a need for my company to pay for the licensing costs of the solution."
"HPE is flexible with you if you are an existing customer. They offer different models that might be beneficial for your organization. It all depends on how you negotiate."
"I only used the open-source version."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."

I don't really have a deep dive into it, but I see that MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has RAG and Vertex support. However, we really didn't use it because I think one thing also is that Prisma, the O...
