It's flexible and easily accessible across multiple locations, but the upgrade process is complicated
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. They're transforming their host stack to increase cloud readiness and edge compute capability. HPE is transitioning from a standard data-driven approach to one powered by AI analytics. That's something they have released very recently. I haven't tried that, but it will probably make things easier. The ability to adapt Ezmeral to the public cloud is probably missing. I've heard that they're getting leaner. However, it doesn't have a clear managed services offering for you if you want to deploy this stack on the cloud. That's a problem. This probably won't meet your needs if you require consistency across on-prem and the cloud. It's not Ezmeral's fault. None of the products would fit the bill. Cloud offerings are biased towards their own implementation. It's a general issue on most big data platforms. They're already working towards that, but it hasn't been released.

Document data has streamlined prototyping and now supports secure cloud deployments
I use the cloud version of the product. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is from MongoDB, though I also use DigitalOcean as a third-party provider. Maybe it's all more about preferences. I think MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has weak support on the ORM side, particularly if you're using Prisma. I think mostly the focus now on the tools we have is PostgreSQL. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is not really used that much on our side for production. It's not really a weak point. It's more of a double-edged sword. If you like document-based management databases and you don't want any migrations, then you go to MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. If you want more secure databases, then you use SQL. On the account management and the way you secure the connection strings, I have utilized advanced security features with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side. But if you go to other providers of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, such as DigitalOcean, it may be harder to set up, but they can save you money.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product enabled us opening up endless possibilities in data analytics, IOE/IOT, and predictive analysis."
"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."
"Our customer purchased a paid support service and so far MapR has addressed our issues well."
"I highly recommend MapR."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"The fact that the heavy computation is required on Big Data can be distributed across many nodes in a cluster, makes this solution a winner."
"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."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"It facilitates the generation of heatmaps for graphical data analysis."
"My advice for anybody who is considering MongoDB is that when we want to have flexibility in storing our data, I recommend using it."
"The fact is all of our users are happy with the stability and quick response times our solutions have."
"The stability of the solution is very good, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's pretty good overall."
"I value the API integrations."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have new developments in the Apache space (Spark, Storm, etc.)."
"One weakness for MapR is the Kerberos support."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"The biggest drawback is that it has vendor locking."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"It'd like to see file system auditing, data encryption, and certification of other vendors' tools."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The interface part, what I'm calling the integration part, could be improved."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"I'd like to see an ID generator. It's very technical but I don't think it has one, so we have to go to great lengths to work around that."
"The performance of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see the scalability and security improved."
"The solution should have better integration."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"MongoDB can improve large-size video or media frame operations. There are a lot of customers who want to upload media frames and video games but there is some difficulty. In MongoDB, we are looking out for solutions that are for large-size media files that can be saved and navigated efficiently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is a need for my company to pay for the licensing costs of the solution."
"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."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"If you want support with the solution you will need to purchase a license and not use the open-source version. The license is a little expensive."
"I only used the open-source version."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for MongoDB?
I think it depends on the provider. For example, on DigitalOcean, they have strict routing. You have to whitelist an IP address, or you risk getting DDoS. Then if you're going for the Atlas one tha...
What needs improvement with MongoDB?
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...
What is your primary use case for MongoDB?
A typical use case for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is mostly for the database, storing our data.
