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."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"It is very easy to create a MongoDB cluster. You can deploy three nodes in one hour. You can do small configurations to enable routing. It is easy to implement."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"I think that MongoDB isn't too structured, and that's good for our technical team because they are able to search through the database better than if they are using SQL Server."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
"It is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"There can be stability issues."
"The solution should have better integration."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
 

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."
"The product is affordable."
"I only used the open-source version."
"It is rather expensive."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
