Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.1
IBM Netezza struggles with scalability, requiring extra hardware for expansion, prompting users to consider cloud alternatives for growth.
Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is scalable and flexible for large users, but some face cost and configuration challenges.
It is provided as a pre-configured box, and scaling is not an option.
Project Manager at MAF Retail
In CosmoDB, the scalability is much better than with the MongoDB ReplicaSet models.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate MongoDB an eight; it's mostly because we're still running a monolithic environment on old hardware, so there are some limitations with read-write access.
General Manager at Lytwave
MongoDB is highly scalable.
Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
IBM Netezza Performance Server is stable, offering high uptime and reliable performance, with occasional issues due to maintenance or compatibility.
Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is stable, reliable, and adaptable, with high ratings despite minor bugs and room for improvement.
It's pretty much stable; we have not faced any major challenges or difficulties with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Room For Improvement

IBM Netezza struggles with scalability, user interface, query performance, big data support, and high costs, needing better tools and integration.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced needs better security, integration, documentation, and scalability, while addressing stability, transactions, and TypeScript support issues.
The cloud version is only available in AWS, and in the Middle East, it is not well-developed in the Azure environment.
Project Manager at MAF Retail
While solutions for other databases like SQL or PostgreSQL already exist, MongoDB requires additional integrations for developing AI solutions.
Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services
We have not contracted the security options in our contract because they're too expensive; thus, we implement just encrypted databases and not the security pack.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Setup Cost

IBM Netezza offers high performance and low maintenance but is considered costly, especially for mid-sized organizations, with significant licensing fees.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced pricing varies by size, with free Community Edition and budget-friendly cloud options like MongoDB Atlas.
We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.
Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services
We have to pay approximately 2,000 euros per month for MongoDB.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
For a small company, the cost of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is reasonable, but for heavy data usage, we see a little bit of cost pressure but it's acceptable.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Valuable Features

IBM Netezza Performance Server delivers fast analytics, ease of use, robust support, and efficient data warehousing with minimal maintenance.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced excels in scalability, flexibility, NoSQL capabilities, fast performance, and seamless integration, enhancing data management efficiency.
It operates as a high-speed data warehouse, which is essential for handling big data.
Project Manager at MAF Retail
When the database receives numerous requests, it has to perform. Those threshold limits we come to know, and then automatically these memory enhancement advanced features are configured so that during high demand periods, memory automatically increases to cater to the incoming advanced requests and volume of requests.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and add new data points.
Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services
In ReplicaSet, it's acceptable, but if your workload needs more performance, and you must pass to a Sharding model, it becomes complicated in MongoDB; in Cosmos DB, however, it's simple.

Parallel data processing streamlines operations while cost and cloud integration challenge adoption
The cost of the solution is on the more expensive side, which is a concern for me. Additionally, its promotion and interaction with cloud applications are limited. The cloud version is only available in AWS, and in the Middle East, it is not well-developed in the Azure environment. For the cost to be reduced, it should match competitors. Many features need to be incorporated on the cloud.

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.
