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.

Easy to integrate and manage the setup phase
One of the things that I want to see in Oracle Berkeley DB is a driver for reactive programming. I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into. Other tools have become more innovative in many areas. I know that Oracle has many responsibilities in maintaining the situation with the current projects and so on. I think it would be very cool if Oracle could make improvements to its projects, as it can help me with my current projects. One reason why I don't choose Oracle Berkeley DB is because we want to go for reactive programming, along with Project Reactor from Spring, but we don't have the official driver for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"MongoDB is more secure than similar databases."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"We've found the product to be scalable."
"The solution is a very dynamic product, it becomes extremely easy for us to support user requirements and we also make use of the simplicity of a cloud redeployment."
"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"It is easy to use."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
"As a key/value store, Oracle BDB is simple to use, and it provides ACID transactions for companies that cannot afford eventual consistency."
"We always had predictability, and by using a custom-built data service layer with plugins, it provided us a lot of scalability, fast turnaround for our fast-moving business requirement and huge data."
"This product helped us to develop a performance-critical DB backend module in the healthcare domain."
"The product meets all the essential business requirements."
"The tool's performance is good, and I don't have any problems with it."
 

Cons

"I have found the solution difficult to operate as an administrator."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"The stability could be improved."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
"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."
"The pricing is expensive. MongoDB should better support small and medium companies."
"The product's interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"Memory usage becomes a problem when the number of entries stored within the key/value store are quite high (hundreds of millions)."
"There were some mid-term small releases that caused database crashes, but this was later fixed."
"Environment corruption is a common problem found when a DB environment is used by more than one process on a machine at a time."
"I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"It's open-source."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"The solution is open source so is 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 believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"There is a need to pay for the licenses and features of the tool."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
