The reliability is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is reliable. We have a small environment right now.

How was the initial setup?

The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment were easy and straightforward.

AWS works well with this application, but that is the only thing we have tested. We are happy with it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy and seamless. We chose the AWS Marketplace because it is a brand name and a popular product.

It is too expensive. They need to work on this.

I also evaluated the open source version of this same product, but chose the AWS version for more reliability and enterprise support.

I have only used the AWS version.

A global cloud database service with a useful schemaless architecture and auto upscale & downscale feature.

Pros and Cons

"The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture."

"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use MongoDB Atlas for our MongoDB deployments.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is schemaless architecture and its rich query support.

What needs improvement?

Masterless architecture for linear scale.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using MongoDB Atlas for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

MongoDB Atlas is a reliable and stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

From the scalability point of view, when we shard the database it creates a replica set of each shard and that will increase the cost. Also, It will be a pain if we just start with Atlas and then moved to manage our own databases. Basically to support three shards you have to maintain nine instances.

How was the initial setup?

We're on the cloud so the initial setup was straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend MongoDB Atlas to potential users. You can bootstrap very quickly and It doesn't constrain you in any way.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give MongoDB Atlas a nine.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
