Cloud database has transformed client demos and supports flexible unstructured data workflows
The best feature I would say is that there is free storage, which any NoSQL database provides, such as MongoDB Atlas. Apart from that, there is a very good MongoDB Atlas UI where we can see the cluster, databases, and all these features. When we are using it, the transactions go for real-time processing. These are the features that it offers us, and the connection is very good to any framework we are using in the backend. MongoDB Atlas is our primary database, and we prefer this because of the reliability of MongoDB Atlas. The UI is very good for Atlas, and the non-structured database is advantageous because we do not have required schema restrictions. The cluster management and the database handling of Atlas are very good. By using the UI, we can manage this efficiently, and these are the features on MongoDB Atlas that give us what we need.

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

"It is a scalable solution because we use quite a lot of data, and it handles it well."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"Administering the solution is easy."
"In my previous company, the product allowed us to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage, and we used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"Our databases used to be in-house. Now, they are in the cloud with MongoDB and everything is much easier."
"The speed of it is the most valuable feature."
"The product is user-friendly."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
"We have migrated mission-critical databases to Exadata and gained significant performance in our OLTP and Batch jobs."
"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."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"A few areas that we have noticed as being problematic with the MongoDB Atlas include user access to the platform. Currently, it is difficult to restrict and control what actions a user can perform within the solution, which poses a challenge from an internal auditing perspective."
"The biggest challenge we all have is an application layer level. One node is sitting in the APAC region, another node is sitting in the US and UK region. The seamless replication has to be lightning fast, but we haven't tested the scalability yet."
"The product's file storage documentation needs improvement."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
"MongoDB Atlas is effective for unstructured and semi-structured data, but when it comes to OLTP transactions, its performance declines."
"The import and export process needs improvement, i.e., getting in and out. Moving data from other databases into MongoDB, along with indexing, was challenging."
"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
"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."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"Today their support no longer lives up to my expectation."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

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."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"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 an open-source platform."
"The tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"The price is too much."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
