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.

"Scalability is its most valuable feature, as it is pretty simple."

More MongoDB Atlas pros

"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."

"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 like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."

Cons

"It would be great if it were easier to integrate MongoDB Atlas with AWS services. Technical support for MongoDB Atlas could be better."

"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 initial configuration fine-tuning for performance can be time-consuming."

"I would say pricing is an area where MongoDB Atlas could improve."

"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."

"From an improvement standpoint, MongoDB can improve security."

"Querying a dataset is not very intuitive, so I think that it can be improved."

"MongoDB Atlas should add more APIs in their Terraform module because sometimes I find it difficult to find the resources in their Terraform model."

More MongoDB Atlas cons

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."

"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."

"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."

More Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a license."

"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 pricing and licensing is great."

"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."

"It is an open-source platform."

"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."

"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."

"We're currently using the Atlas for the night and don't require a license. However, it can be a problem if you want to use their enterprise environment. Then you need to purchase the license."

More MongoDB Atlas pricing and cost advice

"The price is too much."

"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
