Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use.

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced offers prompt support for paid users, while Community Edition relies on self-help and community resources.
I have used them sometimes, even recently, and found the feedback to be spot on our needs.
Partner at Red software systems
The features of MongoDB Atlas fall short, resulting in an average rating due to higher-expectation features still lacking in its offerings.
DB Architect / Consultant at Virtusa Global
For premium support, I would rate the support of MongoDB Atlas a nine.
General Manager at Kaleyra
We have received fairly good support whenever we reached out to the technical teams; they were prompt.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
I think they resolved it, but it was very long.

7.4
MongoDB Atlas is commended for effective scalability features like horizontal scaling and sharding, suitable for diverse workloads.
Sentiment score
7.5
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is praised for its high scalability and adaptability, despite some limitations and cost implications.
It's very much scalable, and I would rate scalability a nine.
General Manager at Kaleyra
MongoDB Atlas offers sharding as a scalability feature, although it does not perform as well as Oracle.
DB Architect / Consultant at Virtusa Global
In CosmoDB, the scalability is much better than with the MongoDB ReplicaSet models.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
MongoDB is highly scalable.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate MongoDB an eight; it's mostly because we're still running a monolithic environment on old hardware, so there are some limitations with read-write access.
General Manager at Lytwave
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
MongoDB Atlas is praised for reliability and performance, with users rating its stability highly despite occasional UI concerns.
Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is generally stable, reliable for backups, though performance may vary; rated seven to nine in stability.
When it comes to OLTP transactions, its performance declines.
DB Architect / Consultant at Virtusa Global
The stability of the product is very high.
General Manager at Kaleyra
It's pretty much stable; we have not faced any major challenges or difficulties with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Room For Improvement

MongoDB Atlas faces challenges in cost management, configuration, UI stability, performance, integration, support, security, and containerization.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced can improve by enhancing security, support, integration, scalability, analytics, user interface, and mobile features.
Enhancing capabilities for data pipelines and visualization dashboards.
DB Architect / Consultant at Virtusa Global
MongoDB Atlas should support containerization.
General Manager at Kaleyra
The UI is good, although I have checked one aspect in MongoDB Atlas: when we make transactions, they do not process in real-time and require a refresh.
Software Developer
While solutions for other databases like SQL or PostgreSQL already exist, MongoDB requires additional integrations for developing AI solutions.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have not contracted the security options in our contract because they're too expensive; thus, we implement just encrypted databases and not the security pack.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers have mixed opinions on MongoDB Atlas pricing, finding it either cost-effective or expensive, especially with support.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced offers cost-effective pricing with various editions and support, valued by small businesses for enterprise transition.
For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers.
Partner at Red software systems
The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it.
DB Architect / Consultant at Virtusa Global
We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have to pay approximately 2,000 euros per month for MongoDB.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
For a small company, the cost of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is reasonable, but for heavy data usage, we see a little bit of cost pressure but it's acceptable.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
 

Valuable Features

MongoDB Atlas offers scalability, security, and easy management, enabling efficient development with reduced operational overhead and reliable performance.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced provides scalable, stable, and flexible data management with advanced analytics, NoSQL features, and comprehensive security.
I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support.
Partner at Red software systems
It is particularly useful for unstructured and semi-structured data because of its performance in these areas.
DB Architect / Consultant at Virtusa Global
The most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas in handling large data volumes include collection size and its NoSQL database capabilities.
General Manager at Kaleyra
It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and add new data points.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
In ReplicaSet, it's acceptable, but if your workload needs more performance, and you must pass to a Sharding model, it becomes complicated in MongoDB; in Cosmos DB, however, it's simple.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard.
General Manager at Lytwave

Featured Reviews

Lintz Veloso - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a government with 11-50 employees
Developers have benefited from flexibility and performance but pricing has needed further attention
I am only familiar with databases and applications. I am from the development team and I am a user of database and cloud but I don't know the infrastructure. As a user, I deal with the Oracle Database. I know the organization has a license with the product. We don't utilize real-time analytics with MongoDB Atlas. I don't use MongoDB Atlas directly, so I don't know how it can be improved. I would place MongoDB Atlas at a medium level. I would rate it at a six or seven. I believe MongoDB Atlas can improve a little. My overall review rating for this product is six out of ten.
AB
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.
