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…

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"MongoDB is scalable and stable. The initial setup is very easy, and deployment and maintenance can be done by one person."
"like its performance and the stability. It's very stable and, performance-wise, it's really great."
"MongoDB is highly stable, and I would rate its stability at nine out of ten."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"It's easy to use."
"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
 

Cons

"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."
"The performance of the solution could be improved."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"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."
"MongoDB should improve its data loading part."
"I don't see a lot of areas that need improvement."
"The stability could be improved."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"The installation is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"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."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
