Developers have benefited from flexibility and performance but pricing has needed further attention
I am only familiar with databases and applications. I am from the development team and I am a user of database and cloud but I don't know the infrastructure. As a user, I deal with the Oracle Database. I know the organization has a license with the product. We don't utilize real-time analytics with MongoDB Atlas. I don't use MongoDB Atlas directly, so I don't know how it can be improved. I would place MongoDB Atlas at a medium level. I would rate it at a six or seven. I believe MongoDB Atlas can improve a little. My overall review rating for this product is six out of ten.

Positive experience with virtual cloud network creation and database migration highlights patching challenges
The best feature of Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is that it can be managed without needing only DBAs. We have many features, including the observability feature that helps check performance and generates numerous reports about performance. We have also implemented APIs, enabling us to create and perform many operations. This means we need DBAs who can work with APIs. We are autonomous in the patching process and don't need Oracle for patching. If you configure the process of patching, it will be executed automatically. We are using dynamic scaling which is implemented on an external virtual machine, helping us to downscale or upscale the CPU. Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer has supported our organization's compliance and data sovereignty without problems. I have observed some limitations. For example, regarding encryption, though it is mandatory for Exadata Cloud at Customer, we cannot encrypt the database with external keys. Currently, with Exadata Cloud at Customer, using external keys is not possible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
"The solution is easily scalable and manageable. Tools can be easily added to the solution."
"It supports many functionalities, is easier to implement, and the only issue is speed."
"The key feature of MongoDB Atlas that has been helpful for us is the ease of deploying new databases."
"The speed of it is the most valuable feature."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
"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 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 best feature of Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is that it can be managed without needing only DBAs, with observability features to check performance, generate reports, and implement APIs for creating and performing many operations."
"We have migrated mission-critical databases to Exadata and gained significant performance in our OLTP and Batch jobs."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product's file storage documentation needs improvement."
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products."
"I am not an expert on what improvements could be made to MongoDB."
"When I edit a document from a document, a lot of clicking is involved, like changing data type manually from a drop-down. It would be super nice if I could just edit the document in a JSON format. The JSON-based document editor should have a multi-language feature. Also, it would be great if there was a connect option from Google Looker Studio."
"I would like a better dashboard. It could be made a bit more user friendly."
"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."
"I would like the solution to offer more integration capabilities since it is an area where the solution lacks."
"Searching and browsing through the collection must be made easier."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"Today their support no longer lives up to my expectation."
"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."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"Scalability is not straightforward."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
 

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."
"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."
"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 solution is fairly priced."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"We pay for a license."
"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 machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
"The price is too much."
