MongoDB has been installed in our active presentation in Google.
Helpful support, scalable, and reliable
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
- "MongoDB can improve large-size video or media frame operations. There are a lot of customers who want to upload media frames and video games but there is some difficulty. In MongoDB, we are looking out for solutions that are for large-size media files that can be saved and navigated efficiently."

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
MongoDB is stable. It has been more stable in the cloud than what we experienced when we used it on-premise.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We are using MongoDB in the cloud and it is scalable.
We have approximately two clients using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
The support from MongoDB has been great. We had to work with them during the data validation and support was helpful. There were a lot of people giving revisions during the migration and they were working for every dollar paid. We had a good experience with their technical support team.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of MongoDB is a little complex. The setup was not complex but migrating the data from the existing resources to MongoDB was tough because we had to do some migration. If there was a better migration tool it would help.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others. Having the solution in the cloud was a very clean process.
I rate MongoDB a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Provides ease of integration and simpler configuration process
Pros and Cons
- "We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
- "They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
What is our primary use case?
We use MongoDB mainly for data visualization and filtering purposes.
What is most valuable?
MongoDB's most valuable feature is data visualization.
What needs improvement?
They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages. There could be a feature where commands made in MongoDB could be easily copied and shared in their original format.

We have been using MongoDB for five months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the platform's stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
My department has around 50 MongoDB users.
How was the initial setup?
It is a cloud-based version and is simple to deploy.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated OracleDB and MongoDB. We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal. It offers ease of integration and simpler configurations compared to OracleDB. It also provides all the essential functionality.
What other advice do I have?
I rate MongoDB a nine out of ten.

Student at VIT University
Suitable for storing school-related queries, and is user-friendly, accessible, and easy to set up
Pros and Cons
- "I found that MongoDB is most valuable for storing school-related queries. It's also user-friendly, and I found no difficulty accessing it. Setting it up is easy too."
- "MongoDB could be more secure."
What is our primary use case?
My use case for MongoDB is storing logs. Last semester, I worked on a malware and antivirus project, used the deep learning model based on the logs and data from the IDF and FreeRTOS, and stored the logs in MongoDB in a different file.
I store logs in MongoDB for later use, and then I can retrieve the logs and create a model accordingly.
What is most valuable?
I found that MongoDB is most valuable for storing school-related queries. It's also user-friendly, and I found no difficulty accessing it. Setting it up is easy too.

MongoDB is a scalable solution. However, if it's loaded with queries, I can use Docker.
How are customer service and support?
I've never contacted the MongoDB technical support team.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with MySQL and PostgreSQL, but I'm entirely focused on deep learning, so my team only uses MongoDB and Databricks. I'm not into complicated products, and I know what I can do with MongoDB and how to do it.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for MongoDB is basic. It's not complex, but I didn't deploy MongoDB directly into AWS. I used AWS to access the database.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm using the free version of MongoDB.
What other advice do I have?
I'm using the database MongoDB.
I'm probably using the latest version of MongoDB because I'm using the latest version of Docker.
I have a team of three working on a project that uses MongoDB.
I recommend MongoDB to others. In my college, almost everyone uses it.
My rating for MongoDB is nine out of ten.

Group CEO at Mmusi Group
A fast and scalable source-available cross-platform document-oriented database program
Pros and Cons
- "MongoDB is cool. There is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB. MongoDB is scalable and fast."
- "It could be much more flexible like SequoiaDB. I would like to see more flexibility in the next release, especially when working with Microsoft Windows. A lot of people struggle with MongoDB because of their Windows versions. But Linux is faultless and mostly runs nicely."
What is our primary use case?
We use MongoDB for the applications. You can save two or three applications but there's a lot of people using those applications.
What is most valuable?
MongoDB is cool. There is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB. MongoDB is scalable and fast.
What needs improvement?
It could be much more flexible like SequoiaDB. I would like to see more flexibility in the next release, especially when working with Microsoft Windows. A lot of people struggle with MongoDB because of their Windows versions. But Linux is faultless and mostly runs nicely.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using MongoDB for about five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
MongoDB is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
MongoDB is a scalable solution.
How are customer service and support?
Customer service depends on your subscription. Suppose it's open-source, then hard luck because you won't get any support. But if you are paying for it, you can get some tech support. However, MongoDB's open-source community is also quite helpful. I'm satisfied with it.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented this solution by ourselves. One engineer is enough to deploy and maintain this solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version.
What other advice do I have?
I'll recommend MongoDB to potential users any day.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give MongoDB a nine.
