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."
"We put MongoDB on AWS for a specific project, and it's easy to use."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"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."
"They provide a high level of technical support."
"I like its performance and the stability; it's very stable and, performance-wise, it's really great."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"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."
"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."
"I think that MongoDB's search engine should be improved."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time."
"The solution should have better integration."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"I would recommend MongoDB as part of a template if anyone is considering free and open-source templating services such as LibreNMS, but as a standalone, I couldn't advise."
 

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."
"It is rather expensive."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"This is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
