Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
Offers reliable engine for legacy needs but requires enhanced cost management and AI features
While MongoDB is a good product, it is also an expensive product for support, and its scalability is acceptable, but the big problem with MongoDB is the cost. For security in MongoDB, we work with encrypted databases by default, but we have not contracted the security options in our contract because it is too expensive, so we only implement encrypted databases without the security pack, which is very expensive for us; in security, we are at the first steps, just using encrypted databases. I think additional features needed in MongoDB include perhaps vector databases, as I think they are not supported right now.

Support on banking at Aithent
Handles large data volumes effectively but connection issues require attention
The Oracle NoSQL solution is used primarily for storing data for our web applications. We work alongside the DBA team for this purpose, given that specific departments manage aspects of its use. We choose it specifically to handle large scales of data, such as in one of our bank customer's scenarios using more than nine hundred gigabytes of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution scales very well and is very easy to replicate."
"MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"I value the API integrations."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"MongoDB's dashboards offer more functionalities and allow you to create a dashboard with MongoDB database data."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"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."
"Try it! You’ll be impressed."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"With Oracle NoSQL, our clients have a highly scalable, simple to set up database that performs very well when data is organized correctly from the beginning."
"The features I've found to be most valuable are the speed of reading and writing (read/write performance levels are really high), the transactions model (semantics for data manipulation), and just the overall simplicity of using it."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"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."
"We find it difficult to incorporate MongoDB in some projects."
"At the start, connecting to the database via Compass or through a direct ID was a challenge."
"MongoDB can improve large-size video or media frame operations. There are a lot of customers who want to upload media frames and video games but there is some difficulty. In MongoDB, we are looking out for solutions that are for large-size media files that can be saved and navigated efficiently."
"Sometimes, the tool goes down temporarily. There are some stability issues in the product."
"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."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"You will get high performance when you organize your data correctly at the beginning. Otherwise, there are instability issues."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"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."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"The installation is difficult."
"Personally, I’d like to see some improvements in the monitoring UI for it."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"It is rather expensive."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"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."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
