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."
"MongoDB is highly stable, and I would rate its stability at nine out of ten."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"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."
"MongoDB is a document database that we use for internet applications, logs, and all kinds of things that need quick answers, especially in the document area."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"The solution could have more integration."
"I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"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."
"So I would say our compatibility and performance are the two things that came up that I know in the project we had problems with."
"There are some problems with bugs appearing in sharding when the data is too high."
"Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use."
"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."
 

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."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"This is an open-source solution."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"The product is affordable."
"It's open-source."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"I only used the open-source version."
