Boost authentication and session management with reliable and fast data handling
There is a lot of technical debt in our company, and we need to update to the latest versions. The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern. A tool for automatically handling such upgrades would reduce operational huddle. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Aerospike had a community version to encourage broader adoption and experimentation.

Offers reliable engine for legacy needs but requires enhanced cost management and AI features
While MongoDB is a good product, it is also an expensive product for support, and its scalability is acceptable, but the big problem with MongoDB is the cost. For security in MongoDB, we work with encrypted databases by default, but we have not contracted the security options in our contract because it is too expensive, so we only implement encrypted databases without the security pack, which is very expensive for us; in security, we are at the first steps, just using encrypted databases. I think additional features needed in MongoDB include perhaps vector databases, as I think they are not supported right now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It shows better compression and compaction, which is valuable."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB include the flexible schema for storing data, its replication capabilities with high availability through a replica set setup, and horizontal scalability using sharding."
"like its performance and the stability. It's very stable and, performance-wise, it's really great."
"The solution does not hold data in tabular format like SQL does but rather clusters data so that it can link on a large scale."
"It is easy to use."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"We are using real-time analytics and monitoring in MongoDB Enterprise Advanced; it is integrated—the existing advanced feature is integrated with our business analytics interface, and all the various business intelligence reports are generated from that."
"We haven't had any issues with stability."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy. For example, creating an index is simple in Oracle. In MongoDB, it's quite challenging to do that. Performance could be better. It's fast and good, but you cannot put every application that you would like to in MongoDB."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"The performance of the solution could be improved."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"MongoDB could improve by not having so many updates and different versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use around half a TB of data and spend approximately $36,000 to $40,000 USD per year on Aerospike."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"It is rather expensive."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"If you want support with the solution you will need to purchase a license and not use the open-source version. The license is a little expensive."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"The product is affordable."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
