Transforms data flow with adaptable schema and smooth public cloud deployment
One of our business units uses MongoDB, and we developed an ETL pipeline that extracts data from MongoDB and transfers it into our data warehouse MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is similar to a document database. It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and…

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.

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us."
"It's easy to use."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"I value the API integrations."
"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."
"For now, the tool doesn't break down or stop, so it is quite stable."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"It is good for search-based tasks, providing solid search results and aggregate results."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"The tool is easy to learn."
 

Cons

"The stability could be improved."
"I would like to see the scalability and security improved."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects."
"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."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
"For me, when the tool was deployed on an on-premises model, it was a little bit difficult the first time."
"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."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"The installation is difficult."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is rather expensive."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"The product is affordable."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
