MongoDB Reviews

I have done a variety of things with MongoDB that started with the adoption of this solution at one company. I was involved in setting up the cluster and then the monitoring, alerting, and backup process. Once all of the set up was complete, I was involved in writing some of the components that were responsible for fetching data from MongoDB.

We are now responsible for running the platform, so whoever wants to run MongoDB comes to us and we explain how we can deploy the cluster for their applications. At this point, we build a cluster in the servers under a UNIX account. The number of nodes in the cluster depends on the requirements of the application side.

Some of the use cases we have configured MongoDB for are desk-tooling and a payment card profiling project. We are currently working on a data exchange platform. We also have a couple of use cases in the pipeline for potential MongoDB clients who also need the MongoDB Ops Manager.

The most valuable feature is that we don't need a schema to store the data.

The security is very good. Cybersecurity, authentication, authorization, and server certifications are all valuable features. We can define security rules at the database level or the cluster level to grant or deny access to particular users.

This is a highly available architecture. If you are using a three-node cluster and one of these goes down then either of the secondary nodes will become a priority to eliminate downtime from the application's perspective.

The documentation for MongoDB is not very good and should be improved. Some of the documents are referring to legacy versions. MongoDB 4.2 has been released, but there are training documents and other documentation that still refers to versions 3.6 and 3.4, which is not good. They should definitely update the documentation as new software is released.

Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution.

Information about upcoming and recently released features should be made available so that we are aware of the latest features, and how we can manage the issues that will accompany them.

I have been working with MongoDB for the last three years.

We have not had any issues with stability.

We have a support portal where we can log tickets and fix issues. We contact them directly and we can set up a call whenever we need help from them.

For some issues, I would rate technical support a nine out of ten, or a ten out of ten. However, at other times, I would rate them a seven out of ten. It depends on who is dealing with the ticket. There are times where they respond to tickets very quickly and things get resolved in a timely manner. At other times, it takes ages to resolve the problem.

We did not use a different NoSQL solution prior to MongoDB.

We continue to use Microsoft SQL Server for other types of database implementations that require SQL, which I also have expertise in.

The initial setup is not very complex. We used the MongoDB resources to understand how to set it up on a Linux server, and after that, we prepared our own document that explains how to install it. Now it is quite straightforward, although if you are going with a more granular level of configuration, such as enabling other parameters on the cluster, then it would be different. I would say that set up would be a little more difficult, but not much. It's very simple using the MongoDB Ops Manager.

We offer three types of services on the MongoDB platform. First is the ODS service, second is the MongoDB SQL, and third is MongoDB standalone. For standalone, we are providing services on the tenant. With respect to shared services, we have the infrastructure but we have to set up their database on the shared servers. This will be useful for some use cases. The standalone configuration takes approximately 15 to 20 days to set up. It is sometimes less but it takes the time to create and configure the UNIX account because we have a third-party dependency for that.

The ODS solution will be better for enterprise data such as those involving payments, accounts, and customers. 

MongoDB is a solution that I can recommend because we have realized good benefits from it. We are in the process of setting up the ODS project, which should help the organization from a cost perspective. Then we will be moving the mainframe data to ODS, and we can use the MongoDB API to fetch data from there and provide real-time solutions to the customer.

At this time, I cannot judge the benefit of MongoDB in isolation, but as time goes on, perhaps by the end of the year, I will have a better idea.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use MongoDB for big data analysis. We are also developing monitoring tools, and if our data grows big enough, we'll use MongoDB to silo out the data structure.

In general, I am satisfied with this solution.

MongoDB is fast and efficient.

Currently, I understand that they're revamping and adding a lot of features, and things are moving a little slowly. The performance could be faster.

I have been working with MongoDB for a few years.

I'm not sure which version we're running, but our technical team is keeping up with the latest developments.

MongoDB for now is stable enough.

MongoDB is a scalable solution.

I am satisfied with the technical support.

Previously, I was not using another solution. It was already in place when I joined the company.

I was not involved with the installation. 

We had our technicians complete the installation.

I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering using it.

I would rate MongoDB a seven out of ten.

Our company uses MongoDB for various clients.

We primarily use the solution to store the databases, various user logins or log information, and lots of other things.

The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to store and fetch. Both the processes are easy with this tool. Patching and sewing are simple.

The solution is stable.

We've found the product to be scalable. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

We'd like technical support to respond faster to queries. 

I've used the solution for maybe six or seven years at this point. It's been a while.

The solution is stable and the performance is good. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

In terms of scalability, if you compare it with the traditional database system, it's quite scalable.

We have ten to 15 users on the solution currently.

We've used technical support in the past. The support response could be a bit faster. That would be helpful for us. 

We also use SQL databases. We use the SQL server. We've been using it over the last year. 

The installation process is simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

I'm not sure how big of a team we need for deployment and maintenance. 

We have an in-house technical team. They have experience installing it. We do not need integrators or consultants or any outside assistance. 

I cannot speak to the exact pricing of the solution. I don't have any visibility on those details. 

We have the solution deployed both on-premises and on the cloud. We're using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend this solution to others who are curious about using it. 

In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's been pretty good overall and we're mostly satisfied with its capabilities. 

We are using MongoDB to store our transactions. On the front end, we developed something in Java, that fits right into the application. We do not use MongoDB's capabilities to do other operations, such as BI.

One of the most valuable features of MongoDB is it is Its open source.

I have been using MongoDB for approximately two years.

MongoDB is stable.

I have found MongoDB to be scalable.

We have approximately 200 users using this solution.

We have support through online communities, such as forums and blogs.

The installation of MongoDB is straightforward. There is a lot of documentation available and it can be installed on Linux or Windows. The implementation process does not take too much time.

We have a team of engineers that does the implementation of the solution.

There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate MongoDB an eight out of ten.

MongoDB is a database management program that can be used for large data.

MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added.

The solution could have more integration.

I have been using MongoDB for approximately one year.

I have found MongoDB to be stable.

MongoDB is scalable.

We have approximately 30 people using this solution in my organization. 

We have a team of six engineers and administrators that do the implementation and support of MongoDB.

There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate MongoDB a nine out of ten.

We use it for our online ERP system.

It is easy to use.

MongoDB is really tough when it starts.

The stability could be improved.

I have been using MongoDB for three years.

It's a stable solution, but it could be better.

MongoDB is a scalable product.

We have five users in our organization who are using it.

I have not contacted technical support.

It is very easy to install. It only takes five minutes.

I completed the installation myself. I did not use an integrator or consultant.

I believe that MongoDB is free.

There could be a paid version.

This is a product that I can recommend to others.

I would rate MongoDB a nine out of ten.

We are a logistics company, and we have a lot of data coming from the users. We have a model, but we need to be flexible with that model. That is one of the reasons why we are using MongoDB.

It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us.

There is also a lot of transaction-related support from MongoDB.

The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture. 

Sometimes, there are some problems in creating a connection with two or three tables, such as running two queries at a time or getting a reference from one table to another table. People generally don't use it much to join two or three tables, but I would like them to simplify that process.

It can sometimes be a little bit difficult to understand for a newcomer.

I have been using this solution for one to one and a half years.

There are a lot of articles and a lot of discussions online. So, we pretty much get all the answers that we want. If we have any problems in using it, it gets resolved as soon as possible. There are a lot of communities, and we are able to get the answers.

I was not a part of the installation process. It was already installed when I joined the company or started working with it. So, I don't have much idea about it, but when we install it locally, there is not a lot to do with it. The control that we get from the command prompt of MongoDB makes it easy to use and very convenient.

I would recommend MongoDB to others. It is good in terms of support.

I would rate MongoDB an eight out of 10.

We use it for searching. For example, we use some files and documents that are stored in MongoDB, and we use it sometimes to search for certain key words. We also use it to search within the documents that are stored in MongoDB.

MongoDB is scalable and stable. The initial setup is very easy, and deployment and maintenance can be done by one person.

I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches.

Criteria and filters would be good too as they will help us find what we are looking for. Filters will be useful if you want to filter something to a dashboard according to certain criteria.

I have experience with MongoDB for about six months.

MongoDB is stable. We have had no technical issues with it.

It is a scalable solution.

Technical support has been good.

Installation is very simple. It can be done in a few hours. We needed only one person for deployment and maintenance.

Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB.

It's a very good product, and I would rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.
