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

"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"I like that EDB Postgres Advanced Server scales well. A valuable feature of the solution is multi-tenancy support. It also supports JSONB."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to Text Search can be used anywhere and anytime."
"The reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"MongoDB is cool. There is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB. MongoDB is scalable and fast."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard, so I would say it has impacted our operations positively overall."
 

Cons

"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"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."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"At the start, connecting to the database via Compass or through a direct ID was a challenge."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"The performance can be improved."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"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 scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source product."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"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."
"If you want support with the solution you will need to purchase a license and not use the open-source version. The license is a little expensive."
