Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
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

"The initial setup was very straightforward, it was a pleasure to work with for everyone, and setting it up, getting up and running, pumping data into it, and actually looking and querying the data was super simple."
"I would recommend MongoDB because it is widely used by many organizations."
"I found that MongoDB is most valuable for storing school-related queries. It's also user-friendly, and I found no difficulty accessing it. Setting it up is easy too."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"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 clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"I like that MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"MongoDB is the second option for non-critical processes at the moment. We do not yet trust it with critical items."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in integrating MongoDB with agentive AI solutions."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"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 product's interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"There were some mid-term small releases that caused database crashes, but this was later fixed."
"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."
"Environment corruption is a common problem found when a DB environment is used by more than one process on a machine at a time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"This is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"It's open-source."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"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."
