DB Architect / Consultant at Virtusa Global
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.

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

"The dynamic structures are the most valuable."
"What I found most valuable in MongoDB Atlas is its Elasticsearch feature. It also has high availability, so it's stable."
"The cloud-based nature of this solution makes it flexible and scalable."
"The auto-scaling feature is the most valuable aspect."
"The key feature of MongoDB Atlas that has been helpful for us is the ease of deploying new databases."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it."
"It has a flexible integration with our easy API."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB Atlas is it's seamless when working with a lot of different systems. Additionally, it is able to adjust the data based on the data being received."
"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 like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."
"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."
 

Cons

"The cost needs improvement. The product is good, but the cost that we paid for it is expensive, so it wasn't that valuable."
"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."
"They could explore ways to facilitate deploying MongoDB containers within the platform."
"We need improved query performance."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"I would like the solution to offer more integration capabilities since it is an area where the solution lacks."
"The tool's implementation should be made easier."
"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."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
"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."
"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."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"The solution is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a license."
"It is an open-source platform."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"MongoDB Atlas is not expensive, and since it's a cloud-based solution, you pay by usage."
"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
"The price is too much."
