Laksiri Bala - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
RODRIGOPETERSON - PeerSpot reviewer
Leverages cloud capabilities and offers minimal latency with operation model
Customers have less operational burden and more responsibility regarding the management of hardware. Increasing the scale of Oracle Exadata Cloud provides more capacity, higher performance, and expanded storage, CPU, and memory resources. If you need to scale Oracle's capacity up or down, the appliance can be adjusted on-premise. When you purchase Oracle Exadata Cloud, you must acquire either a half or full rack. If you need to increase capacity, you can scale up by adding more hardware. This hardware commitment lasts four to five years, meaning you must maintain this infrastructure and continue payments for that period. While you can scale up to meet increased demands, scaling down is more challenging. I recommend the solution when the customer desires to transition to a cloud-native solution but needs to retain their data in OpenEdge due to compatibility issues or the requirement to interact with on-premise systems to minimize latency. This solution offers minimal latency and modernizes Oracle capabilities through a gateway. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering."
"The most useful feature is the management of the backup."
"Object-based data storing capability and managing non-structured data capability are the most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
"The speed of it is the most valuable feature."
"MongoDB Atlas is a database that is quite fast, stable, and reliable."
"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."
"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."
"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."
"The operation model is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There are some features that could be useful for the customers I work with, which are related to migration from on-prem to the cloud."
"From an improvement standpoint, MongoDB can improve security."
"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."
"The cost needs improvement."
"The product's data aggregation feature needs to work faster."
"They could explore ways to facilitate deploying MongoDB containers within the platform."
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products."
"Querying a dataset is not very intuitive, so I think that it can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"Scalability is not straightforward."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, MongoDB is expensive, but I think it is not so expensive for customers."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"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."
"It is an open-source platform."
"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"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 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."
