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.
Wilfredo Silva Huaman - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduction in database creation time, provides good performance but challenges when interacting with the OCI console
Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. However, there are a few things to note. It's not just about being alert with Exadata, but also understanding the OCI console. For instance, companies need to create user group policies to protect against unauthorized access. If you are referencing a compromised system, there's no issue there, because the operating system is Linux. There's no problem when it comes to the basic operations of the database, such as creating, querying, and updating tables. However, we've adopted a new configuration where we're using Docker containers to deploy our applications. This is a new setup for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture."
"MongoDB Atlas is a database that is quite fast, stable, and reliable."
"The cloud-based nature of this solution makes it flexible and scalable."
"The dynamic structures are the most valuable."
"There are many valuable features, but scalability stands out. It can scale across zones. You can define multiple nodes. They have also partnered with AWS, offering great service with multiple features, including built-in backup, all under the same roof, without the need for external tools."
"It's flexible. We don't need to have a solid upstream availability failover, and everything is seamless in Atlas."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance."
"Performance has significantly improved."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it is based on Exadata infrastructure, which is Oracle 's leading engineered system that is trusted, fault-tolerant, and has unique performance features."
"Exporting and importing is easy because of its cleanliness, making the process easier. However, setting up the Data Guard was more difficult. Despite this, the client experienced lower downtime."
"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."
 

Cons

"There are some features that could be useful for the customers I work with, which are related to migration from on-prem to the cloud."
"Customer support needs improvement knowledge-wise."
"MongoDB Atlas should improve its user experience by providing better explanations or a wizard for people working with its UI."
"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."
"Going forward, we would like to have pure AWS Cloud (native) storage instead regular storage on the AWS integration side."
"I am not an expert on what improvements could be made to MongoDB."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"It would be great if it were easier to integrate MongoDB Atlas with AWS services. Technical support for MongoDB Atlas could be better."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is that they need to train more partners to gain more knowledge because currently, they are keeping a lot to themselves. For example, they are still keeping a lot of information on their campus, so information sharing is limited."
"Scalability is not straightforward."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
"The solution is expensive."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly expensive to use and maintain. They are taking advantage of the users with such a high price."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"Pricing could always be better."
"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"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 tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"It is an open-source platform."
"The price is too much."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
