Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If you drop a message, the solution's technical support will definitely reply."
"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."
"The best things about Amazon Timestream are it's maintenance-free, customizable, and has no lag issues. It's always real-time."
"You can quickly aggregate data from the last ten years with Amazon Timestream."
"Using Amazon Timestream has been seamless due to its integration within the AWS ecosystem and ease of use for the engineering team."
"I found that MongoDB is most valuable for storing school-related queries. It's also user-friendly, and I found no difficulty accessing it. Setting it up is easy too."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"Opting for MongoDB could be beneficial, especially for storing large volumes of records, even for transient data."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"They provide a high level of technical support."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB include the flexible schema for storing data, its replication capabilities with high availability through a replica set setup, and horizontal scalability using sharding."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
 

Cons

"There are certain features that we would like to see added and we are collaborating with the product teams on these areas."
"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 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."
"The tool could be improved by increasing the batch size from one hundred records to five hundred or a thousand to speed up indexing."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"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."
"There can be stability issues."
"When I want to connect to a node, I need to supply the certificate that MongoDB trusts, even though I use an admin password."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay over $10 million a year to Amazon."
"We don't see high costs with Amazon Timestream, which may vary by company."
"For 1GB of data, the solution charges $ 0.01 in the US region."
"Amazon Timestream's pricing seems manageable to me."
"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."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"It's open-source."
"The product is affordable."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."

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...
