Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

Delivers superior search and data aggregation capabilities
Neo4j helps with advanced search needs, providing good search results and aggregates compared to MongoDB. Aggregating with MongoDB can be difficult; however, with Neo4j, it's easier. Aggregating data, backing up, and creating new clusters are user-friendly from the back end. In DevOps web deployment, we noticed no database issues. We created Docker instances and set them up efficiently, managing databases up to 50 gigabytes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In our case, it is most important to have redundancy."
"It facilitates the generation of heatmaps for graphical data analysis."
"We put MongoDB on AWS for a specific project, and it's easy to use."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it is easy to use and even a non-technical person will be able to understand it."
"MongoDB is cool; there is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB, and MongoDB is scalable and fast."
"MongoDB is the best choice for us when we want to store NoSQL-type data."
"It is good for search-based tasks, providing solid search results and aggregate results."
"It enables circumstances which would have been a complex problem to be simplified."
"The solution's best feature is how it differs from traditional SQL databases. It's hard to map people and find those near me in SQL, which requires long, complex queries. Neo4j Graph Database makes this easier with simpler queries. It also supports more data types, like JSON, which SQL doesn't."
"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"The graph modeling paradigm suits our data set well, where there may be orders of magnitude more connections between data points than data points themselves."
"Neo4j helps with advanced search needs, providing good search results and aggregates compared to MongoDB."
"For now, the tool doesn't break down or stop, so it is quite stable."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
 

Cons

"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy. For example, creating an index is simple in Oracle. In MongoDB, it's quite challenging to do that. Performance could be better. It's fast and good, but you cannot put every application that you would like to in MongoDB."
"MongoDB should improve its data loading part."
"So I would say our compatibility and performance are the two things that came up that I know in the project we had problems with."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"There was a need for integrating relational database capabilities, however, MongoDB has introduced a relational converter that allows conversion between SQL and NoSQL."
"The tool could improve by having more resources, especially for Golang, which we use. It lacks good basic libraries and doesn't have an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool, which many NoSQL databases have. We thought about building an ORM for the Neo4j Graph Database but are too busy."
"For me, when the tool was deployed on an on-premises model, it was a little bit difficult the first time."
"There are things I found unintuitive or difficult to understand, however I can't say this is a deficiency in the product and likely more a function of my relatively low experience."
"The only problem is that the community is quite small."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"I only used the open-source version."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"The product is affordable."
"The solution is open source so that you can use it for free. They also offer an enterprise version with its billing. If your company is earning well, I suggest using the enterprise version. Otherwise, you can deploy it on your own cloud and pay based on usage."
"The tool is not expensive."

What needs improvement with Neo4j Graph Database?
The only problem is that the community is quite small.
What is your primary use case for Neo4j Graph Database?
We have used Neo4j in microservices. In one of the microservices, we used Neo4j since we have some requirements similar to MongoDB plus Elasticsearch. It performs both functions. Instead of doing t...
