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

"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."
"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."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"MongoDB is comparatively lightweight; it is a JSON extract, and once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want, making it easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB and easier to set it up as compared to other solutions."
"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial."
"It stores historical data with ease. For example, if you are a healthcare member, then you will have multiple records of visits to the doctors. To store such data in Oracle Database, you have to create many records. You might also have duplication problems because your records are going in again and again, because of which the data warehouse and the maintenance cost will be huge. MongoDB is comparatively lightweight. It is a JSON extract. Once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want. It is easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB. It is also easier to set it up as compared to other solutions. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is a document DB in which you can store documents that you created in BSON. It is pretty fast in response. It is faster than relational databases because it does not define any primary keys, secondary keys, tertiary keys, and all those kinds of things."
"My advice for anybody who is considering MongoDB is that when we want to have flexibility in storing our data, I recommend using it."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"The price can always be better. I mean, we are a big corporation so it is quite expensive for us."
"It could be much more flexible like SequoiaDB. I would like to see more flexibility in the next release, especially when working with Microsoft Windows. A lot of people struggle with MongoDB because of their Windows versions. But Linux is faultless and mostly runs nicely."
"The solution could have more integration."
"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."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy."
"There is room for improvement in integrating MongoDB with agentive AI solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For 1GB of data, the solution charges $ 0.01 in the US region."
"We pay over $10 million a year to Amazon."
"We don't see high costs with Amazon Timestream, which may vary by company."
"Amazon Timestream's pricing seems manageable to me."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"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."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"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."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
