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…

Easy to integrate and manage the setup phase
One of the things that I want to see in Oracle Berkeley DB is a driver for reactive programming. I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into. Other tools have become more innovative in many areas. I know that Oracle has many responsibilities in maintaining the situation with the current projects and so on. I think it would be very cool if Oracle could make improvements to its projects, as it can help me with my current projects. One reason why I don't choose Oracle Berkeley DB is because we want to go for reactive programming, along with Project Reactor from Spring, but we don't have the official driver for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of MongoDB include the flexible schema for storing data, its replication capabilities with high availability through a replica set setup, and horizontal scalability using sharding."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the NoSQL database. In a SQL database, we need to join data together with a unique ID amongst other things, but in MongoDB, it's not required. We can directly receive all the information. The performance is very good. Additionally, they have frequent updates."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"The tool is also user-friendly."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"We are using real-time analytics and monitoring in MongoDB Enterprise Advanced; it is integrated—the existing advanced feature is integrated with our business analytics interface, and all the various business intelligence reports are generated from that."
"MongoDB is scalable and stable. The initial setup is very easy, and deployment and maintenance can be done by one person."
"The tool's performance is good, and I don't have any problems with it."
"The product meets all the essential business requirements."
 

Cons

"There can be stability issues."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
"It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"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."
"They could improve the UI and the analytics part."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"The product's interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"If you want support with the solution you will need to purchase a license and not use the open-source version. The license is a little expensive."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"There is a need to pay for the licenses and features of the tool."
