Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

Reliable data management with great reliability and performance
From a sales pitch standpoint, it needs to deliver on promises of better ROI and compaction. Additionally, ticketing and support systems could be improved due to the time it takes to get answers. There's also an issue with compatibility when attempting to switch back from the enterprise to the community version.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like its performance and the stability; it's very stable and, performance-wise, it's really great."
"The fact is all of our users are happy with the stability and quick response times our solutions have."
"The support from MongoDB has been great; we had to work with them during the data validation and support was helpful, with a lot of people giving revisions during the migration and working for every dollar paid, and we had a good experience with their technical support team."
"It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get, there are a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us, and there is also a lot of transaction-related support from MongoDB."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"Most of the features are very nice and MongoDB is a solution that I would recommend."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the predefined functions available when using Node.js. These functions simplify the query process, making it user-friendly and straightforward."
"MongoDB is the best choice for us when we want to store NoSQL-type data."
"ScyllaDB is fast and reliable. It has good performance."
"It is lightweight, and it requires less infrastructure."
"The product's most valuable features are efficiency and reliability."
"The documentation is good. It integrates easily with our existing data infrastructure."
"ScyllaDB allows fine-tuning of the table structure. Speed is probably the most critical factor because we perform a lot of heavy data ingestion. One of its core features is its ability to handle high volumes and maintain speed when accessing data. Additionally, high availability and partitioning are built-in features of ScyllaDB."
"The database is easy to use, fast, and accessible for applications because the API is straightforward."
"ScyllaDB is very fast, and I can use it for so many things."
"Scalability in performance is good."
 

Cons

"We don't even know how to get ahold of MongoDB support."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"The stability could be better."
"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."
"The documentation of Scylla is an area with shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"Some of the regular commands in NoSQL do not work."
"The documentation is not well established for new developers."
"The product needs to add more features and improve the response time of the support team."
"Data export, along with how we can purchase the data periodically, needs to be improved so that the storage is within control. Then, we could optimize it even better."
"From a sales pitch standpoint, it needs to deliver on promises of better ROI and compaction."
"ScyllaDB needs to improve its handling of transactions."
"We faced several challenges while integrating ScyllaDB into our AWS environment. One common issue was that a security port wasn’t opened on one node, preventingdata synchronization across clusters. We noticed the data wasn’t syncing correctly when we saw different record counts in other regions. After investigating, we found that the port was closed in one AWS region. Once we opened the port, the data synchronization across all nodes resumed as expected."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"The paid version of ScyllaDB is not that expensive. The main advantage of the paid version is direct support from the ScyllaDB team, which can resolve issues faster—typically within a day, compared to two to three days with the free version. The paid version also offers better guidance and support, while the free version has good documentation and is more high-level. I’d rate their support team nine out of ten because of the quick responses from their community."
"It is an expensive tool compared to its competitor."
"I believe that there is a yearly licensing cost and that it's expensive."
"It's a bit expensive."
"It's free."
