Developers have benefited from flexibility and performance but pricing has needed further attention
I am only familiar with databases and applications. I am from the development team and I am a user of database and cloud but I don't know the infrastructure. As a user, I deal with the Oracle Database. I know the organization has a license with the product. We don't utilize real-time analytics with MongoDB Atlas. I don't use MongoDB Atlas directly, so I don't know how it can be improved. I would place MongoDB Atlas at a medium level. I would rate it at a six or seven. I believe MongoDB Atlas can improve a little. My overall review rating for this product is six out of ten.

Pros

"The best things about Amazon Timestream are it's maintenance-free, customizable, and has no lag issues. It's always real-time."
"Using Amazon Timestream has been seamless due to its integration within the AWS ecosystem and ease of use for the engineering team."
"What I like best is that the tool is easy to collect and store data and is fast and scalable. The fully managed database is easy to understand."
"If you drop a message, the solution's technical support will definitely reply."
"You can quickly aggregate data from the last ten years with Amazon Timestream."
"The solution is easily scalable and manageable. Tools can be easily added to the solution."
"For security reasons, I prefer MongoDB Atlas. It supports role-based access control, so you have an entity for each individual."
"The scalability is very high, the performance is very high, and the cost is lower as compared to the traditional database for cloud."
"The features that I have found most valuable include the very easy integrations. The integrations are fantastic. I have not faced any challenges from the integration standpoint."
"The solution is easy to use, the console is user-friendly, and overall a well-designed solution. It takes a complex system and makes it easy to understand. Additionally, the solution is always advancing and they provide a roadmap into what is coming in the future."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"MongoDB Atlas is a database that is quite fast, stable, and reliable."
"In my previous company, the product allowed us to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage, and we used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved by making it easier for new graduates like me to use. Better explanations of queries and how to use them with other AWS services would help."
"There are disadvantages when it comes to time series databases since you can't delete anything from Amazon Timestream data."
"Arranging the database schema is a bit challenging."
"The tool could be improved by increasing the batch size from one hundred records to five hundred or a thousand to speed up indexing."
"There are certain features that we would like to see added and we are collaborating with the product teams on these areas."
"The cost needs improvement. The product is good, but the cost that we paid for it is expensive, so it wasn't that valuable."
"I would like a better dashboard. It could be made a bit more user friendly."
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products."
"I am still new with it, but since I mentioned that I'm using this product for only the last six months and my experience with this product is good thus far, on a scale of one to ten, I would give MongoDB Atlas a six."
"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
"I am not an expert on what improvements could be made to MongoDB."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"The speed when combining two documents is concerning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't see high costs with Amazon Timestream, which may vary by company."
"We pay over $10 million a year to Amazon."
"Amazon Timestream's pricing seems manageable to me."
"For 1GB of data, the solution charges $ 0.01 in the US region."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"The solution is expensive overall. It does not require a license but if you want the support then you will need to purchase the license. They use a pay-as-you-go model and you are able to receive some discounts by making longer usage commitments."
"It is an open-source platform."
"For me, MongoDB is expensive, but I think it is not so expensive for customers."
"Pricing could always be better."
"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
