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."
"We are talking about a rapid activity and replication solution which serves our needs well."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"MongoDB is the best choice for us when we want to store NoSQL-type data."
"I value the API integrations."
"MongoDB's dashboards offer more functionalities and allow you to create a dashboard with MongoDB database data."
"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."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
 

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"There are some problems with bugs appearing in sharding when the data is too high."
"Overall the solution is expensive."
"I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side."
"When I want to connect to a node, I need to supply the certificate that MongoDB trusts, even though I use an admin password."
"The solution could have more integration."
"The stability could be better."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
 

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 don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"The product is affordable."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"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."
