Pranay Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior software developer at Simplifyvms
Cloud database has supported charity platform growth and has improved team delivery speed
Setting up MongoDB Atlas is very easy, as I simply select the cluster and the size I want. There are free clusters available for testing real applications, and it is a NoSQL-based database that works well for both web and mobile applications, providing real-time analytics-driven solutions where flexible schema is the main priority.The best feature MongoDB Atlas offers is the flexible database schema that I can easily set up. It is easy to set up, has no server setup cost, requires no manual setting, and has no downtime. The platform automatically handles traffic spikes and includes built-in features such as storage, auto-scaling, automatic backup, and point-in-time recovery. Auto-scaling and backups have been instrumental in my project using MongoDB Atlas, especially when I moved from UAT to production. My customer base of more than 10 lakhs increased, and the system automatically scaled to handle those requests, ensuring the database could respond in time. MongoDB Atlas has an aggregation framework that handles complex analytics without requiring any extra tools. It also provides real-time updates and streaming capabilities. MongoDB Atlas has positively impacted my organization by reducing operational costs, as I do not need database administrators or server maintenance. It follows a pay-as-you-go strategy, allowing me to increase cluster size by simply paying more, which results in faster development and deployment processes. High availability is also provided through built-in replications and automatic failovers. My team consists of 18 people, and our uptime has improved to 99.9% and above. The delivery speed has increased, and I have reduced the delivery cycle by 30 to 50 percent.

Provides high availability through replication but presents challenges with licensing complexity
The most recent vendor I am dealing with is HPE. I am not familiar with a product called Zella Security from CyberArk. I use Privileged Access Management. I work only with PAM. I deal with many vendors, and my latest vendor was CyberArk. For Google, I deal with hybrid cloud environments, both on-premises and cloud. I do the same for Microsoft as well. From Oracle, we do database management and purely focus on the database engines, and then the customer handles the schemas and the data management side of things. I don't have enough information on security in general to give a valued answer on whether I am happy with how secure the product is or if I sometimes see flaws. For Oracle, I think we have it under control. We have enough subject matter experts, so I would say it is okay to deploy Oracle Database as a Service. Usually, my clients have the solution on-premises or on the cloud as well. I would rate this review seven out of ten.
