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…

Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console
I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"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 most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"MongoDB has many good replication features and good performance."
"We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"The reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"MySQL is very stable and works beautifully with large amounts of data."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to manage and install."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"Overall, I rate Oracle MySQL Cloud Service as a nine out of ten."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
 

Cons

"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"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."
"The MongoDB documentation can be a little complicated sometimes."
"The solution should more easily integrate with custom code."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"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 free tools, like MongoDB Compass, could be enhanced."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"The user interface is not simple."
"There might be minor improvements, however, I can’t identify any particular areas for improvement at the moment."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"There could be improvements, particularly in Firebird, where the indexing is limited to just a single B-tree index, leading to poor performance for large-scale queries."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"The product has many bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"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."
"This is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"The product is affordable."
"I only used the open-source version."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."
"It is an open-source product."
"The product is free since it is an open-source tool."
"Oracle has a better licensing model compared to its competitors."
"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"The license is expensive."
