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.

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

"MapR is a great distribution, although I have limited experience with other distributors."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"Outside of human error, MapR is probably the most stable of the major releases."
"Initial setup is rather straightforward thanks to detailed documentation covering all the bases."
"I highly recommend MapR."
"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."
"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."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"For people or businesses that are currently trying to put their feet in the industry, it is a good thing to start their career with MongoDB."
"I think the document-based approach is valuable."
"MongoDB is a document database that we use for internet applications, logs, and all kinds of things that need quick answers, especially in the document area."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"The tool is also user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the NoSQL database. In a SQL database, we need to join data together with a unique ID amongst other things, but in MongoDB, it's not required. We can directly receive all the information. The performance is very good. Additionally, they have frequent updates."
 

Cons

"I'd say we've had issues with pricing."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"It'd like to see file system auditing, data encryption, and certification of other vendors' tools."
"The interface part, what I'm calling the integration part, could be improved."
"Installations and setups are still a bit cryptic and can be improved."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"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."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"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."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"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."
"MongoDB could improve by not having so many updates and different versions."
"MongoDB has a "heavy" architecture, which limits the scalability options."
"The price can always be better. I mean, we are a big corporation so it is quite expensive for us."
 

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."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."

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...
