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.

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

"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"MongoDB is a NoSQL tool that gives us much freedom to manipulate how the data works."
"I value the API integrations."
"The reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"The tool's performance is good, and I don't have any problems with it."
"The product meets all the essential business requirements."
 

Cons

"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"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."
"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"There was a need for integrating relational database capabilities, however, MongoDB has introduced a relational converter that allows conversion between SQL and NoSQL."
"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 interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"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's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"This is an open-source solution."
"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."
