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

"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
"One of the first things I noticed when I had my first experience with MongoDB was how easy it was to use. I was expecting more difficulties or at least some challenges, but it was very, very easy to use. It's great technology, performs well, and is very convenient."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the predefined functions available when using Node.js. These functions simplify the query process, making it user-friendly and straightforward."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"It is easy to set up."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"It's easy to use."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"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 product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
 

Cons

"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"At the start, connecting to the database via Compass or through a direct ID was a challenge."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"I feel that most people don't know a lot about MongoDB, so maybe they could add some more documentation and tutorials."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"The installation is difficult."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"I only used the open-source version."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"The product is affordable."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
