Data architect at Banking Sector
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

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"It's easy to use."
"I value the API integrations."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the predefined functions available when using Node.js. These functions simplify the query process, making it user-friendly and straightforward."
"We haven't had any issues with stability."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"It's easy to add and remove things in MongoDB. You can alter the tables. MongoDB is faster at reading, slower at writings."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
 

Cons

"The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
"I would like to see the scalability and security improved."
"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 dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"It's open-source."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"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."
