Featured Reviews

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.
Naveen Venugopal - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient IT management with crucial automatic updates but needs developer-friendly configuration
Sometimes it is a bit of work for developers to change the configurations. Some kernels will not fit with some packages, and this aspect could be improved. Furthermore, the system's rigidity when updating packages and services needs improvement. Additionally, there should be more loosely bound functionalities to improve developer experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"It's a good solution for NoSQL databases."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture."
"MongoDB Atlas is a database that is quite fast, stable, and reliable."
"Our databases used to be in-house. Now, they are in the cloud with MongoDB and everything is much easier."
"MongoDB is a NoSQL tool."
"It is a stable platform."
"SUSE Linux had a clean user interface, which was a valuable feature for me."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is stable."
"The solution is easy to use, secure and allows for simple manipulation."
"It's easy to set up."
"Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components."
"The initial setup is simple and takes five minutes for deployment and if you have automation in place, it will take four minutes."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is scalable."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
"MongoDB Atlas should support containerization."
"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."
"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
"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."
"Querying a dataset is not very intuitive, so I think that it can be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see better functionality for interacting with cloud-based systems."
"We previously had trouble integrating Autodesk with the SUSE Manager, but the issue was resolved."
"They should provide chatbot support for customers to open the troubleshooting cases directly."
"The software management side was a bit difficult, especially compared to Ubuntu."
"I would appreciate the product's future releases being lighter and operating more efficiently on smaller systems."
"Additionally, error handling needs improvement. The system should be more transparent when there's an error, rather than just declaring a generic error. It would be helpful if it could provide more specific information about the problem on that particular system. As it stands, you can waste a lot of time trying to troubleshoot these vague errors."
"The solution has to be fine-tuned with better documentation."
"Compared with the competition, of late actually, the solution has increased its pricing tremendously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"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."
"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."
"We pay for a license."
"The price of SUSE Linux Enterprise could be cheaper. Other solutions, such as"
"As far as licensing goes, there is nothing unusual here. The price and model have worked fine for my organization."
"The product is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."
"There is a free tier and a paid support tier. If you do not need support, then the solution is free to use. If you need support then there is an option for that as well."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The product's licensing options align well with the evolving landscape of Linux variants."
"The license we pay is for Oracle. We make use of the community edition."
"When we first implemented this product, we had licenses for support."
