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

"It is easy to use."
"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
"The Dynamic Application is a valuable feature."
"It's easy to use."
"The product meets all the essential business requirements."
"The tool's performance is good, and I don't have any problems with it."
 

Cons

"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"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."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"I would like to see the scalability and security improved."
"MongoDB is a very useful and convenient choice, but sometimes for more complex projects, there are certain niche requirements that appear, so using a different tool could be beneficial. It raises the complexity of the architecture, but it could be beneficial to the world, the features, the ease of the features which are being implemented."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"The dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"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."
"The product's interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's open-source."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"It is rather expensive."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"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."
