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."
"It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get, there are a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us, and there is also a lot of transaction-related support from MongoDB."
"It is very easy to create a MongoDB cluster; you can deploy three nodes in one hour and do small configurations to enable routing, making it easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the predefined functions available when using Node.js. These functions simplify the query process, making it user-friendly and straightforward."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
"The installation of MongoDB is straightforward."
"The installation is very easy to do and understand."
"One of the most valuable features of MongoDB is it is Its open source."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"The solution should have better integration."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved."
"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
"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."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"I only used the open-source version."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"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's pricing is reasonable."
"It's open-source."
"This is an open-source solution."

What do you like most about MongoDB?
MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for MongoDB?
I think it depends on the provider. For example, on DigitalOcean, they have strict routing. You have to whitelist an IP address, or you risk getting DDoS. Then if you're going for the Atlas one tha...
What needs improvement with MongoDB?
I don't really have a deep dive into it, but I see that MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has RAG and Vertex support. However, we really didn't use it because I think one thing also is that Prisma, the O...
