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

"Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature, as it is pretty simple."
"What I found most valuable in MongoDB Atlas is its Elasticsearch feature. It also has high availability, so it's stable."
"It enables us to get work done quickly and get to our data."
"The product provides quick transaction service, high availability, and efficient scalability features."
"Administering the solution is easy."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it."
"I would recommend MongoDB Atlas for those who want to start using it."
"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."
"Performance has significantly improved."
"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."
"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."
"We have migrated mission-critical databases to Exadata and gained significant performance in our OLTP and Batch jobs."
 

Cons

"I am still new with it, but since I mentioned that I'm using this product for only the last six months and my experience with this product is good thus far, on a scale of one to ten, I would give MongoDB Atlas a six."
"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
"During the configuration, we did some migrations where we had to reindex about 70,000 indexes, which took around an hour. They should improve this and optimize the indexing."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"It would be great if it were easier to integrate MongoDB Atlas with AWS services. Technical support for MongoDB Atlas could be better."
"From an improvement standpoint, MongoDB can improve security."
"Searching and browsing through the collection must be made easier."
"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."
"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."
"Today their support no longer lives up to my expectation."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"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 pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"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 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."
"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 is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
"The price is too much."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
