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."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"MongoDB is highly stable, and I would rate its stability at nine out of ten."
"The Dynamic Application is a valuable feature."
"The community is great if you have problem."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"The stability could be improved."
"They could improve the UI and the analytics part."
"MongoDB should improve its data loading part."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"I don't see a lot of areas that need improvement."
 

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."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"This is an open-source solution."
"The product is affordable."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
