We performed a comparison between MariaDB and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the power it provides. It is a powerful solution."
"MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"The most valuable feature is that it uses multiple cores, which is better than some of the other databases."
"Installation is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is a relational database, which is fairly reliable...It is a stable solution."
"I would say that for most use cases it works fine."
"The documentation is quite straightforward."
"It stores historical data with ease. For example, if you are a healthcare member, then you will have multiple records of visits to the doctors. To store such data in Oracle Database, you have to create many records. You might also have duplication problems because your records are going in again and again, because of which the data warehouse and the maintenance cost will be huge. MongoDB is comparatively lightweight. It is a JSON extract. Once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want. It is easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB. It is also easier to set it up as compared to other solutions. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is a document DB in which you can store documents that you created in BSON. It is pretty fast in response. It is faster than relational databases because it does not define any primary keys, secondary keys, tertiary keys, and all those kinds of things."
"It is easy to set up."
"It's easy to add and remove things in MongoDB. You can alter the tables. MongoDB is faster at reading, slower at writings."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
"It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us."
"The solution does not hold data in tabular format like SQL does but rather clusters data so that it can link on a large scale."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"I'd like to see improved materialized views, like the ability to save select queries. This feature is missing in MariaDB compared to other relational databases like Oracle and SQL Server."
"There is room for improvement in terms of security."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"The solution should do some fine-tuning on maybe the transaction per second so that users can get more than they can on the Microsoft SQL Server."
"The solution is not scalable."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"It would be helpful if I could specify multiple drives for the database storage."
"We'd like technical support to respond faster to queries."
"People coming from RDBMS should have the flexibility to write queries in SQL that can be converted into JSON queries."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"The dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"MongoDB could improve by not having so many updates and different versions."
"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."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"It is important to note that MongoDB has limitations since it can only be used for specific use cases. For example, for master data, I would want to pick keys using an RDBMS, but for attachments, I would choose MongoDB."
MariaDB is ranked 4th in Open Source Databases with 52 reviews while MongoDB is ranked 5th in Open Source Databases with 69 reviews. MariaDB is rated 8.2, while MongoDB is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of MariaDB writes "Simultaneously use active server capabilities but lacks the maturity ". On the other hand, the top reviewer of MongoDB writes "Lightweight with good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data". MariaDB is most compared with SQL Server, Oracle Database, Firebird SQL, PostgreSQL and MySQL, whereas MongoDB is most compared with InfluxDB, Couchbase, ScyllaDB, Cassandra and Oracle NoSQL.
