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.

SAP BI Architect at a government with 10,001+ employees
Flexibility and performance meet real-time analytics but documentation needs improvement
Currently, we don't have any AI-driven features, but that's something we are exploring. SCC is one of the computers, and we are looking into Machine Learning and predictive analytics from the user-base perspective. Regarding SAP HANA Cloud, one significant pain point is the lack of access to the database from the HANA Studio for developers. HANA Studio allows us to work with tables, whereas with SAP HANA Cloud, there isn't direct visibility of any tables. Documentation is another concern. There isn't much documentation compared to what we used to get in the past, including best practices. In the last few years, their documentation has not been up to the mark at all.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Administering the solution is easy."
"The features that I have found most valuable include the very easy integrations. The integrations are fantastic. I have not faced any challenges from the integration standpoint."
"The stability and performance are great. The high availability feature is great. Moreover, I am happy with the automated backup and restore functionality."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB Atlas is it's seamless when working with a lot of different systems. Additionally, it is able to adjust the data based on the data being received."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"It supports many functionalities, is easier to implement, and the only issue is speed."
"You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
"It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
"From my perspective, the best features of SAP HANA Cloud are that it's an ERP system connecting all departments together, making it a very smooth software for business operations."
"The real-time analytics feature is good; there is no doubt about it."
"I would rate SAP HANA Cloud nine to ten out of ten."
"The best features of SAP HANA Cloud are that its software is effective because it has tight integration between other functions, such as finance, materials, and sales."
"Using SAP HANA Cloud, we can replicate the data into HANA and use live data, which improves our business decision-making."
"The solution has integrated many different value chains across the organization, as previously there were multiple systems managing those value chains."
"SAP HANA Cloud provides a single version of truth, automation, intelligence, process control, and best practices."
 

Cons

"During the configuration, we did some migrations where we had to reindex about 70,000 indexes, which took around an hour. They should improve this and optimize the indexing."
"It would be great if it were easier to integrate MongoDB Atlas with AWS services. Technical support for MongoDB Atlas could be better."
"The UI can be difficult to understand."
"The initial setup is not too difficult but can be somewhat tricky."
"There are some features that could be useful for the customers I work with, which are related to migration from on-prem to the cloud."
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products."
"When I edit a document from a document, a lot of clicking is involved, like changing data type manually from a drop-down. It would be super nice if I could just edit the document in a JSON format. The JSON-based document editor should have a multi-language feature. Also, it would be great if there was a connect option from Google Looker Studio."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
"My opinion on SAP HANA Cloud is that it is a waste of time."
"I see some weaknesses in SAP HANA Cloud regarding innovations, as they take their own time compared to what the market brings in with new features."
"Regarding SAP HANA Cloud, one significant pain point is the lack of access to the database from the HANA Studio for developers."
"From a UX point of view, there could be better improvements in the user experience and how users interact with the system."
"In future updates of SAP HANA Cloud, I would suggest some changes in the user interfaces to make it more user-friendly."
"The technical support from SAP is inadequate. We don't get timely responses, with support tickets taking more than 25 days to process."
"SAP HANA Cloud requires extensive documentation before connecting with a human being to troubleshoot an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive overall. It does not require a license but if you want the support then you will need to purchase the license. They use a pay-as-you-go model and you are able to receive some discounts by making longer usage commitments."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
"MongoDB Atlas is not expensive, and since it's a cloud-based solution, you pay by usage."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"Pricing could always be better."
