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…

Delivers superior search and data aggregation capabilities
Neo4j helps with advanced search needs, providing good search results and aggregates compared to MongoDB. Aggregating with MongoDB can be difficult; however, with Neo4j, it's easier. Aggregating data, backing up, and creating new clusters are user-friendly from the back end. In DevOps web deployment, we noticed no database issues. We created Docker instances and set them up efficiently, managing databases up to 50 gigabytes.

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go 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…

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 include the flexible schema for storing data, its replication capabilities with high availability through a replica set setup, and horizontal scalability using sharding."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"It stores historical data with ease. For example, if you are a healthcare member, then you will have multiple records of visits to the doctors. To store such data in Oracle Database, you have to create many records. You might also have duplication problems because your records are going in again and again, because of which the data warehouse and the maintenance cost will be huge. MongoDB is comparatively lightweight. It is a JSON extract. Once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want. It is easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB. It is also easier to set it up as compared to other solutions. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is a document DB in which you can store documents that you created in BSON. It is pretty fast in response. It is faster than relational databases because it does not define any primary keys, secondary keys, tertiary keys, and all those kinds of things."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
"My impression is that the initial setup is straightforward."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"MongoDB's dashboards offer more functionalities and allow you to create a dashboard with MongoDB database data."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"It is good for search-based tasks, providing solid search results and aggregate results."
"The solution's best feature is how it differs from traditional SQL databases. It's hard to map people and find those near me in SQL, which requires long, complex queries. Neo4j Graph Database makes this easier with simpler queries. It also supports more data types, like JSON, which SQL doesn't."
"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"For now, the tool doesn't break down or stop, so it is quite stable."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"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."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
 

Cons

"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"The performance of the solution could be improved."
"It is important to note that MongoDB has limitations since it can only be used for specific use cases. For example, for master data, I would want to pick keys using an RDBMS, but for attachments, I would choose MongoDB."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
"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 stability could be better."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
"For me, when the tool was deployed on an on-premises model, it was a little bit difficult the first time."
"The tool could improve by having more resources, especially for Golang, which we use. It lacks good basic libraries and doesn't have an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool, which many NoSQL databases have. We thought about building an ORM for the Neo4j Graph Database but are too busy."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
"The only problem is that the community is quite small."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"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."
"The installation is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"The solution is open source so that you can use it for free. They also offer an enterprise version with its billing. If your company is earning well, I suggest using the enterprise version. Otherwise, you can deploy it on your own cloud and pay based on usage."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
