We performed a comparison between MongoDB and Percona Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"It is easy to use."
"MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
"In our case, it is most important to have redundancy."
"The community is great if you have problem."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"We find the product mostly stable."
"It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements."
"There are some problems with bugs appearing in sharding when the data is too high."
"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."
"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."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
"They could improve the UI and the analytics part."
"MongoDB could improve by not having so many updates and different versions."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"If Percona had flashback capabilities, it would be ideal."
MongoDB is ranked 5th in Open Source Databases with 69 reviews while Percona Server is ranked 8th in Open Source Databases with 2 reviews. MongoDB is rated 8.2, while Percona Server is rated 7.6. The top reviewer of MongoDB writes "Lightweight with good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Percona Server writes "Open-source and free to use with a good community". MongoDB is most compared with InfluxDB, Couchbase, ScyllaDB, Cassandra and Oracle NoSQL, whereas Percona Server is most compared with MariaDB, MySQL, EDB Postgres Advanced Server, PostgreSQL and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service.
