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…

Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console
I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

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 are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"The installation is very stable."
"The installation is very easy to do and understand."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"It's super easy to develop a couple of solutions for clients with MongoDB, like a quick web page with no clear data structure that they need to spin up quickly to validate some sort of MDTP."
"It's easy to use."
"MongoDB's dashboards offer more functionalities and allow you to create a dashboard with MongoDB database data."
"MySQL is very stable and works beautifully with large amounts of data."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"MySQL is very stable and works beautifully with large amounts of data."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
 

Cons

"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
"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."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
"The dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"It would be good to have scalability for clusters. For example, if we have three clusters, we should be able to increase to five clusters if required. I am not sure if such a feature is currently there. I hope there is good documentation for this."
"The solution could have more integration."
"There might be minor improvements, however, I can’t identify any particular areas for improvement at the moment."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"The product has many bugs."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"The product is free since it is an open-source tool."
"The product is expensive."
"Oracle has a better licensing model compared to its competitors."
"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."
"The license is expensive."
"While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."
"It is an open-source product."
