Manikandan Gunasekaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of Engineering at Ola
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."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"My impression is that the initial setup is straightforward."
"It's super easy to develop a couple of solutions for clients with MongoDB, like a quick web page with no clear data structure that they need to spin up quickly to validate some sort of MDTP."
"One of the first things I noticed when I had my first experience with MongoDB was how easy it was to use. I was expecting more difficulties or at least some challenges, but it was very, very easy to use. It's great technology, performs well, and is very convenient."
"MongoDB is cool; there is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB, and MongoDB is scalable and fast."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"MongoDB is a very useful and convenient choice, but sometimes for more complex projects, there are certain niche requirements that appear, so using a different tool could be beneficial. It raises the complexity of the architecture, but it could be beneficial to the world, the features, the ease of the features which are being implemented."
"I'd like to see an ID generator. It's very technical but I don't think it has one, so we have to go to great lengths to work around that."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"The solution should more easily integrate with custom code."
 

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 pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
