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."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."

"MongoDB has many good replication features and good performance."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."

Cons

"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."

"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."
