We performed a comparison between Milvus and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."The solution is well containerized, and since containerization is quick and easy for me, I can scale it up quickly."
"Milvus has good accuracy and performance."
"The best feature of Milvus was finding the closest chunk from a huge amount of data."
"It is very easy to create a MongoDB cluster. You can deploy three nodes in one hour. You can do small configurations to enable routing. It is easy to implement."
"It is easy to use."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"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."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
"Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster."
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly."
"I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."
"Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation."
"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."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"There are some problems with bugs appearing in sharding when the data is too high."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
"I don't see a lot of areas that need improvement."
"The solution should have better integration."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
