BK
Technical Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
A fast and affordable solution that is scalable and has a nice dashboard
The product enables the users to query results faster. It maintains all the versions of the changes done on a specific node. A traditional blockchain would take time, but Amazon QLDB is a bit faster. We have to do many operations in blockchain to read data, but QLDB comes with an easy syntax. The product provides a nice dashboard to view all the information.
FG
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
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

"The product enables the users to query results faster."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"The tool is also user-friendly."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"We can define security rules at the database level or the cluster level to grant or deny access to particular users."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"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."
"The solution should have better integration."
"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."
"It isn't easy to recognize entities with MongoDB."
"We find it difficult to incorporate MongoDB in some projects."
"The MongoDB documentation can be a little complicated sometimes."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"It's open-source."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
