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

"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."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"The backup utility tools such as pg_restore and pg_dump are really convenient and efficient tools to handle backup and recovery."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"Cost/benefit wise Postgres is a great solution."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"I like that EDB Postgres Advanced Server scales well. A valuable feature of the solution is multi-tenancy support. It also supports JSONB."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"One of the first things I noticed when I had my first experience with MongoDB was how easy it was to use. I was expecting more difficulties or at least some challenges, but it was very, very easy to use. It's great technology, performs well, and is very convenient."
"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'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."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"I think that MongoDB isn't too structured, and that's good for our technical team because they are able to search through the database better than if they are using SQL Server."
"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."
"We've found the product to be scalable."
 

Cons

"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."
"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"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."
"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."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"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."
"So I would say our compatibility and performance are the two things that came up that I know in the project we had problems with."
"The performance can be improved."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"The documentation for MongoDB is not very good and should be improved."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source product."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"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 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."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
