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.
Duy AnhMai - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers security and good performance
Price-wise, the tool is expensive, and I feel it is an area where improvements are needed. Oracle Database as a Service is not as popular as other tools because we use AWS and GCP. Oracle is okay in terms of performance for banking businesses and some big companies. As I use the tool in Heineken, I know Oracle is an okay security solution. We use and deploy some applications and features from Oracle that are better than what others offer. The data in the tool is actually stored in the production part, so it is always kept a secret. I don't think that AI has been integrated into the tool. The AI used by Oracle is not as strong as that used by AWS. I recommend the tool to others, especially banking, finance, and insurance companies where the security needs to be better. There is maintenance for the tool required, but I don't know which company does it for our organization. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering."
"This solution is very helpful due to its ease of use."
"I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The cloud-based nature of this solution makes it flexible and scalable."
"The product allows us to easily set up and store large amounts of unstructured data."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"In terms of structured databases, I support SQL-based databases. SQL has its place, but not for plannable structure and transactional databases. At the same time, Oracle is very much optimized."
"It's a scalable product."
"Data Guard is the best solution for Disaster Recovery."
"Not only does it provide a mature, reliable solution for DR. It also helps if application owners need to look into data which is a couple of hours old, using Flashback Database on the standby database."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the general database system resilience and security."
"What I like about Oracle Database as a Service is that it has excellent stability, and the development is effortless. I also like the enhanced queries in Oracle Database as a Service best."
"The scalability and high availability are the most valuable features of Oracle DaaS."
"Oracle Database as a Service's most valuable feature is its financial applications."
 

Cons

"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
"We had some edge cases where scalability was an issue where a node went offline, and we had to deal with that."
"The initial configuration fine-tuning for performance can be time-consuming."
"I would like a better dashboard. It could be made a bit more user friendly."
"The product's file storage documentation needs improvement."
"It would be great if it were easier to integrate MongoDB Atlas with AWS services. Technical support for MongoDB Atlas could be better."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"We had some bad trainers when we first came onboard and would rate them fairly low. They did not seem staffed properly to fulfill the training services that they offered."
"Oracle Database as a Service is a good product but costly. Scaling it is challenging."
"The ROI has not been good."
"One of the things that I have noticed is that there are some services that will give you a hard time during implementation if you are looking at the documentation of Oracle. Sometimes the documentation information is quite limited. It's an aspect of the solution they could improve."
"I would like to see improvements in the license cost. The solution is subscription-based for PaaS services. You need to buy your own authorized license."
"Improvement in Oracle DBaaS could focus on enhancing performance monitoring and reporting tools."
"On the cloud services, they need to improve some console-level items, including the logging of the databases on the console level."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the data migration process."
"Oracle Database as a Service is very convenient to use. However, we need to know to which schema we want it to connect specifically, and what are the username and password. The solution requires some basic knowledge of SQL RP and SQL Oracle to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"It is an open-source platform."
"MongoDB Atlas is not expensive, and since it's a cloud-based solution, you pay by usage."

"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"MongoDB Atlas is more cost-effective than Amazon DocumentDB. It also has a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Apart from the standard licensing cost, you must also pay to get MongoDB Atlas technical support, which is expensive."

"It is notably expensive when compared to the features offered by other alternatives."
"The cost for Oracle Database as a Service is higher than that for other similar solutions."
"It is an expensive product. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
