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

"Cost/benefit wise Postgres is a great solution."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"I would highly recommend EDB Postgres Advanced Server to others."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"Major reduction in run cost, and a quantum leap in the flexibility of deployment models Elimination of replication of transaction from reporting systems Able to do rolling upgrades with zero production downtime."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"The backup utility tools such as pg_restore and pg_dump are really convenient and efficient tools to handle backup and recovery."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use; it's very reliable, it's proven."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"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 features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard, so I would say it has impacted our operations positively overall."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it is easy to use and even a non-technical person will be able to understand it."
 

Cons

"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"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."
"It suffers issues ranging from data corruption to failing to delete temporary files which then necessitate us having to perform server restarts."
"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."
"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"Setting up MySQL is slightly more straightforward than Postgres."
"It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"MongoDB should improve its data loading part."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"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."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"The performance could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"It is an open-source product."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"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."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"It is rather expensive."
