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 relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"We are using real-time analytics and monitoring in MongoDB Enterprise Advanced; it is integrated—the existing advanced feature is integrated with our business analytics interface, and all the various business intelligence reports are generated from that."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
"They provide a high level of technical support."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the NoSQL database. In a SQL database, we need to join data together with a unique ID amongst other things, but in MongoDB, it's not required. We can directly receive all the information. The performance is very good. Additionally, they have frequent updates."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it is easy to use and even a non-technical person will be able to understand it."
"This product helped us to develop a performance-critical DB backend module in the healthcare domain."
"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."
"The product meets all the essential business requirements."
"As a key/value store, Oracle BDB is simple to use, and it provides ACID transactions for companies that cannot afford eventual consistency."
"The tool's performance is good, and I don't have any problems with it."
 

Cons

"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"When I want to connect to a node, I need to supply the certificate that MongoDB trusts, even though I use an admin password."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
"The dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"Memory usage becomes a problem when the number of entries stored within the key/value store are quite high (hundreds of millions)."
"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."
"The product's interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"Environment corruption is a common problem found when a DB environment is used by more than one process on a machine at a time."
"There were some mid-term small releases that caused database crashes, but this was later fixed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"I only used the open-source version."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"This is an open-source solution."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"There is a need to pay for the licenses and features of the tool."
