DIRK UYTTERHOEVEN - PeerSpot reviewer
Identifies and eliminates overprovisioning of expensive resources like storage, highly scalable and offers performance
I like the overall product because I can select what monitoring should be enabled and whatnot. In our case, we really focus on performance because it's clear that the price is related to most performance setups. So the more performance, the more expensive. So we look into the performance that the customer needs, and then based upon that feedback from the remote control, we change the parameters. And even the end user will not notice it is not using it, so we just make money without any impact on the end users.

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 price is reasonable, considering the value it delivers."
"I mostly like the dashboards."
"It offers a detailed examination of your cluster, including the types of instances utilized, allocated CPU and RAM, and resource distribution for specific applications."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it."
"The cloud-based nature of this solution makes it flexible and scalable."
"I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support."
"I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support."
"Object-based data storing capability and managing non-structured data capability are the most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"The product is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"There is a significant potential for enhancing it through the incorporation of advanced technologies like AI and generative AI."
"The integration with other solutions could be improved."
"Faster monitoring could potentially improve overall stability in the production environment."
"Searching and browsing through the collection must be made easier."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"The UI is not currently designed in a manner to make it possible for a non-technical person or a layman to update the database easily."
"I would like the solution to offer more integration capabilities since it is an area where the solution lacks."
"Based on its own habitat, it's not ACID compliant. If it had an ACID compliant option, it would be more useful for database administration."
"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
"MongoDB Atlas should support containerization."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the tool may seem nominal compared to the potential savings in infrastructure expenses."
"The cost is cheap. Kubecost has an open-source core."
"The real savings come from using Kubecost features like autoscaling and serverless functions to optimize your resource usage. If you treat it like a data center migration without fine-tuning, it might cost more."
"The pricing is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
"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 solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"Comparing the price between the MongoDB and Microsoft SQL Server, we are using the enterprise edition of Microsoft SQL Server, which is more expensive than MongoDB."
"It is an open-source platform."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly expensive to use and maintain. They are taking advantage of the users with such a high price."
