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

"I highly recommend MapR."
"This product enabled us opening up endless possibilities in data analytics, IOE/IOT, and predictive analysis."
"Outside of human error, MapR is probably the most stable of the major releases."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"MapR is a great distribution, although I have limited experience with other distributors."
"Our customer purchased a paid support service and so far MapR has addressed our issues well."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"It is easy to use."
"We haven't had any issues with stability."
"We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use; it's very reliable, it's proven."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
"I value the API integrations."
"MongoDB is more secure than similar databases."
 

Cons

"I'd say we've had issues with pricing."
"Installations and setups are still a bit cryptic and can be improved."
"The UI for administration still has a lot of manual work to set up the cluster and get it running."
"The biggest drawback is that it has vendor locking."
"The interface part, what I'm calling the integration part, could be improved."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"One weakness for MapR is the Kerberos support."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"The dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"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."
"The documentation for MongoDB is not very good and should be improved."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts."
"It is important to note that MongoDB has limitations since it can only be used for specific use cases. For example, for master data, I would want to pick keys using an RDBMS, but for attachments, I would choose MongoDB."
"At the start, connecting to the database via Compass or through a direct ID was a challenge."
"It isn't easy to recognize entities with MongoDB."
 

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."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"The product is affordable."
"This is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"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."

What do you like most about MongoDB?
MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial.
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...
