Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is praised for its high scalability and adaptability, despite some limitations and cost implications.
Sentiment score
7.5
SingleStore efficiently scales by seamlessly adding servers with automatic repartitioning for expanding capacity without performance issues.
In CosmoDB, the scalability is much better than with the MongoDB ReplicaSet models.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
MongoDB is highly scalable.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate MongoDB an eight; it's mostly because we're still running a monolithic environment on old hardware, so there are some limitations with read-write access.
General Manager at Lytwave
As our data volumes grow, we can expand resources without significant performance degradation.
SDE III at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
SingleStore's scalability is high and it can be used by any size of organization and can handle any needs of any organization.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is generally stable, reliable for backups, though performance may vary; rated seven to nine in stability.
Sentiment score
8.2
SingleStore is praised for stability and performance in transaction systems, effectively handling large workloads with minimal downtime.
It's pretty much stable; we have not faced any major challenges or difficulties with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
It handles large workloads and maintains consistent performance very well overall.
SDE III at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I have not seen any downtime.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
 

Room For Improvement

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced can improve by enhancing security, support, integration, scalability, analytics, user interface, and mobile features.
SingleStore faces challenges in data management, SQL limitations, documentation, integration, and performance, impacting user experience and efficiency.
While solutions for other databases like SQL or PostgreSQL already exist, MongoDB requires additional integrations for developing AI solutions.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have not contracted the security options in our contract because they're too expensive; thus, we implement just encrypted databases and not the security pack.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
Error handling needs attention. When it fails due to memory, it only indicates that but not exactly in which process it failed.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
The data which is sent to DataDog sometimes does not match with the SingleStore dashboard.
Devops Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Better documentation for advanced use cases, especially where data volumes are very high and queries are frequent, would help us manage the feature more efficiently.
SDE III at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced offers cost-effective pricing with various editions and support, valued by small businesses for enterprise transition.
SingleStore provides scalable pricing for cloud and on-premises, offering affordable options for both startups and large organizations.
We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have to pay approximately 2,000 euros per month for MongoDB.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
For a small company, the cost of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is reasonable, but for heavy data usage, we see a little bit of cost pressure but it's acceptable.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it can be a bit expensive for startups.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
 

Valuable Features

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced provides scalable, stable, and flexible data management with advanced analytics, NoSQL features, and comprehensive security.
SingleStore offers fast, scalable solutions with efficient SQL operations, real-time analytics, user-friendly UI, and robust data protection.
It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and add new data points.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
In ReplicaSet, it's acceptable, but if your workload needs more performance, and you must pass to a Sharding model, it becomes complicated in MongoDB; in Cosmos DB, however, it's simple.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard.
General Manager at Lytwave
SingleStore has impacted my organization positively by enabling us to run low-latency analytics and model-driven use cases at scale, which is quite difficult for OLAP and OLTP databases alone.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
The best features SingleStore offers in my experience are the excellent team support and the very good UI.
Devops Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
SingleStore offers speed and scalability, delivering fast query performance even with large datasets and supporting real-time analytics with very low latency.
SDE III at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Real-time analytics has transformed daily decisions and delivers fast dashboards from streaming data
The best features SingleStore offers include fast data recovery and data compression by 80 percent. Having the information in sheets helps me to process the information quickly. Simplicity in T-SQL is another aspect I appreciate. Data recovery and sheet-based processing help my team on a day-to-day basis by enabling us to handle information efficiently. I would like to add that the data compression by 80 percent helps us in an excellent way since we are very fast in obtaining the data for our dashboards and the compression of the information is great. SingleStore has impacted my organization positively by enabling us to run low-latency analytics and model-driven use cases at scale, which is quite difficult for OLAP and OLTP databases alone. It has been very helpful because our internal clients are happy to have the data and make data-driven decisions easily. Making decisions based on data within a two-hour delay to the transactional database is excellent since we went from twenty-four hours to two hours. I think the best contribution is decision-making with data that is close to reality. Reducing that delay from twenty-four hours to two hours has significantly affected my team and business outcomes by increasing productivity. We have been able to serve all our customers, and they are very happy. We can deliver to them on time.
