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

Pros

"MongoDB Atlas is a platform as a service and it has proven to be particularly valuable due to its self-managing nature. This has allowed us to minimize the amount of time and effort required to manage it, as it effectively manages itself. Additionally, it is a complete solution when looking at its features."
"It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"For security reasons, I prefer MongoDB Atlas. It supports role-based access control, so you have an entity for each individual."
"Object-based data storing capability and managing non-structured data capability are the most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it."
"The features that I have found most valuable include the very easy integrations. The integrations are fantastic. I have not faced any challenges from the integration standpoint."
"The product provides quick transaction service, high availability, and efficient scalability features."
"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."
"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."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
"MongoDB Atlas should improve its user experience by providing better explanations or a wizard for people working with its UI."
"Querying a dataset is not very intuitive, so I think that it can be improved."
"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."
"The cost needs improvement."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"Going forward, we would like to have pure AWS Cloud (native) storage instead regular storage on the AWS integration side."
"We had some edge cases where scalability was an issue where a node went offline, and we had to deal with that."
"Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is stable, but the only problem occurs during OS patching. If you encounter issues, the VMC (virtual machine cluster) becomes unusable."
"Scalability is not straightforward."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"The solution is expensive."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"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."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"It is too expensive. They need to work on this."
"In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
"The price is too much."
