Though user-friendly, it fails to offer a mobile application to users
The product currently fails to offer a mobile application. In the future, I want the solution to offer a mobile application, especially since you can access the services via mobile phone with all the service providers like AWS and others. A mobile application provided by the product can help a user to see the status whenever needed.

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

"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"The backup utility tools such as pg_restore and pg_dump are really convenient and efficient tools to handle backup and recovery."
"I would highly recommend EDB Postgres Advanced Server to others."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"This product has allowed us to reduce costs in some parts of our infrastructure without losing functionality."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"Cost/benefit wise Postgres is a great solution."
"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."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"MongoDB is more secure than similar databases."
"Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"It's super easy to develop a couple of solutions for clients with MongoDB, like a quick web page with no clear data structure that they need to spin up quickly to validate some sort of MDTP."
"MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard, so I would say it has impacted our operations positively overall."
"I would recommend MongoDB because it is widely used by many organizations."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in EDB Postgres Advanced Server is JSONB querying. It would be nice to have even stronger JSONB support from the solution."
"Lighter integration model for containerized deployment. Effectively, there still remain some issues with a containerized deployment, so we have opted for a non-containerized deployment."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"It suffers issues ranging from data corruption to failing to delete temporary files which then necessitate us having to perform server restarts."
"Sometimes, the tool goes down temporarily. There are some stability issues in the product."
"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."
"They could improve the UI and the analytics part."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"The stability could be better."
"There is room for improvement in integrating MongoDB with agentive AI solutions."
"There is a need for improvement in MongoDB's customer support."
"Overall the solution is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."

"It is an open-source product."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."

"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."

"It's open-source."
