We performed a comparison between MongoDB Atlas and Redis based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The key feature of MongoDB Atlas that has been helpful for us is the ease of deploying new databases."
"The product is simple to use and enterprise-ready. It is also open-source."
"The most valuable feature is that it's all web-based. So one can browse collections just from the web. MongoDB Atlas is very accessible, quick to understand, and quick to learn. People who have never used CLI can hop into the web interface and browse the database."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"MongoDB Atlas is a platform as a service and it has proven to be particularly valuable due to its self-managing nature. This has allowed us to minimize the amount of time and effort required to manage it, as it effectively manages itself. Additionally, it is a complete solution when looking at its features."
"The speed of it is the most valuable feature."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It's flexible. We don't need to have a solid upstream availability failover, and everything is seamless in Atlas."
"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"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 bad trainers when we first came onboard and would rate them fairly low. They did not seem staffed properly to fulfill the training services that they offered."
"The cost needs improvement."
"Going forward, we would like to have pure AWS Cloud (native) storage instead regular storage on the AWS integration side."
"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."
"The product does not have ORM."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"The UI is not currently designed in a manner to make it possible for a non-technical person or a layman to update the database easily."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
