A stable and scalable tool that serves as a great database
The initial setup of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is easy. I am not sure how long it took to deploy HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric, but I haven't heard about any disadvantages when it comes to the time taken for the deployment. I remember that one of our company's clients who had purchased the product never mentioned the product's setup phase being complex. One of the drawbacks with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric stems from the fact that the product's upgrade was not straightforward, and it was a complex process since one of the teams in my company who deals with the tool found the upgrade part to be tough. The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. My company has two dedicated staff members to look after the deployment and maintenance phases of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.

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

"Initial setup is rather straightforward thanks to detailed documentation covering all the bases."
"My first choice is MapR, as it is more adaptable to different contexts, and it could be customized in some way to fit the different needs, and this is my first choice and my first advice to people who ask me about this particular platform."
"This product enabled us opening up endless possibilities in data analytics, IOE/IOT, and predictive analysis."
"Our customer purchased a paid support service and so far MapR has addressed our issues well."
"Outside of human error, MapR is probably the most stable of the major releases."
"I like the administration part."
"My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions. The previous solution that we used did not have unified analytics like the runtime or the analog."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
"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."
"The community is great if you have problem."
"MongoDB is also great for managing logs."
"The tool is also user-friendly."
"We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
 

Cons

"Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work."
"One weakness for MapR is the Kerberos support."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"Installations and setups are still a bit cryptic and can be improved."
"It'd like to see file system auditing, data encryption, and certification of other vendors' tools."
"The UI for administration still has a lot of manual work to set up the cluster and get it running."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"I think that MongoDB's search engine should be improved."
"I have found the solution difficult to operate as an administrator."
"The stability could be improved."
"When I want to connect to a node, I need to supply the certificate that MongoDB trusts, even though I use an admin password."
"Overall the solution is expensive."
"I would recommend MongoDB as part of a template if anyone is considering free and open-source templating services such as LibreNMS, but as a standalone, I couldn't advise."
"Sometimes, the tool goes down temporarily. There are some stability issues in the product."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need for my company to pay for the licensing costs of the solution."
"The tool's price is cheap and based on a usage basis. The solution's licensing costs are yearly and there are no extra costs."
"HPE is flexible with you if you are an existing customer. They offer different models that might be beneficial for your organization. It all depends on how you negotiate."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The product is affordable."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for MongoDB?
I think it depends on the provider. For example, on DigitalOcean, they have strict routing. You have to whitelist an IP address, or you risk getting DDoS. Then if you're going for the Atlas one tha...
What needs improvement with MongoDB?
I don't really have a deep dive into it, but I see that MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has RAG and Vertex support. However, we really didn't use it because I think one thing also is that Prisma, the O...
