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.

Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

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 initial setup was very straightforward, it was a pleasure to work with for everyone, and setting it up, getting up and running, pumping data into it, and actually looking and querying the data was super simple."
"We've found the product to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"We use it for website designing, and for mobile app designing just like Adobe XD."
"The installation of MongoDB is straightforward."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"We can define security rules at the database level or the cluster level to grant or deny access to particular users."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"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."
"It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements."
"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 think that MongoDB's search engine should be improved."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"The documentation for MongoDB is not very good and should be improved."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
 

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 solution is open source, so it is free."
"It is rather expensive."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"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."
