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.

Document data has streamlined prototyping and now supports secure cloud deployments
I use the cloud version of the product. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is from MongoDB, though I also use DigitalOcean as a third-party provider. Maybe it's all more about preferences. I think MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has weak support on the ORM side, particularly if you're using Prisma. I think mostly the focus now on the tools we have is PostgreSQL. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is not really used that much on our side for production. It's not really a weak point. It's more of a double-edged sword. If you like document-based management databases and you don't want any migrations, then you go to MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. If you want more secure databases, then you use SQL. On the account management and the way you secure the connection strings, I have utilized advanced security features with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side. But if you go to other providers of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, such as DigitalOcean, it may be harder to set up, but they can save you money.

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."
"MongoDB has a simple data-loading interface."
"The support from MongoDB has been great; we had to work with them during the data validation and support was helpful, with a lot of people giving revisions during the migration and working for every dollar paid, and we had a good experience with their technical support team."
"The solution has good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"It stores historical data with ease. For example, if you are a healthcare member, then you will have multiple records of visits to the doctors. To store such data in Oracle Database, you have to create many records. You might also have duplication problems because your records are going in again and again, because of which the data warehouse and the maintenance cost will be huge. MongoDB is comparatively lightweight. It is a JSON extract. Once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want. It is easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB. It is also easier to set it up as compared to other solutions. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is a document DB in which you can store documents that you created in BSON. It is pretty fast in response. It is faster than relational databases because it does not define any primary keys, secondary keys, tertiary keys, and all those kinds of things."
"We use MongoDB for big data analysis, and we are also developing monitoring tools, planning to use MongoDB to silo out the data structure as our data grows."
"MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard, so I would say it has impacted our operations positively overall."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"The performance could be faster."
"There can be stability issues."
"The pricing is expensive. MongoDB should better support small and medium companies."
"MongoDB could improve by not having so many updates and different versions."
"The MongoDB documentation can be a little complicated sometimes."
"The price can always be better. I mean, we are a big corporation so it is quite expensive for us."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"The documentation for MongoDB is not very good and should be improved."
 

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."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"This is an open-source solution."
