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.
RODRIGOPETERSON - PeerSpot reviewer
Leverages cloud capabilities and offers minimal latency with operation model
Customers have less operational burden and more responsibility regarding the management of hardware. Increasing the scale of Oracle Exadata Cloud provides more capacity, higher performance, and expanded storage, CPU, and memory resources. If you need to scale Oracle's capacity up or down, the appliance can be adjusted on-premise. When you purchase Oracle Exadata Cloud, you must acquire either a half or full rack. If you need to increase capacity, you can scale up by adding more hardware. This hardware commitment lasts four to five years, meaning you must maintain this infrastructure and continue payments for that period. While you can scale up to meet increased demands, scaling down is more challenging. I recommend the solution when the customer desires to transition to a cloud-native solution but needs to retain their data in OpenEdge due to compatibility issues or the requirement to interact with on-premise systems to minimize latency. This solution offers minimal latency and modernizes Oracle capabilities through a gateway. Overall, I rate the solution 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

"It's flexible. We don't need to have a solid upstream availability failover, and everything is seamless in Atlas."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"Object-based data storing capability and managing non-structured data capability are the most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas."
"The solution has a very intuitive user interface."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it's all web-based. So one can browse collections just from the web. MongoDB Atlas is very accessible, quick to understand, and quick to learn. People who have never used CLI can hop into the web interface and browse the database."
"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 like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."
"Performance has significantly improved."
"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."
"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Going forward, we would like to have pure AWS Cloud (native) storage instead regular storage on the AWS integration side."
"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."
"From an improvement standpoint, MongoDB can improve security."
"I am not an expert on what improvements could be made to MongoDB."
"The initial setup is not too difficult but can be somewhat tricky."
"In the past, MongoDB offered more features for free, but now it's quite limited. The free version is limited, and you need to pay extra to fully utilize it. The pricing could be improved."
"They could explore ways to facilitate deploying MongoDB containers within the platform."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source platform."
"For me, MongoDB is expensive, but I think it is not so expensive for customers."
"Pricing could always be better."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"The pricing is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
"The tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"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."
"The price is too much."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
