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.

An excellent choice for diverse data processing needs with exceptional in-memory capabilities, robust failover mechanisms, easy scalability and high performance
Scalability is its key strength. Adding servers for scalability is a straightforward process involving simply incorporating a few additional servers and recycling the cluster triggers automatic repartitioning and redistribution of data. For instance, if the initial database creation involved a hundred servers and later, four more servers are added, specific commands can be executed to increase the partitions to one hundred twenty. The data is then efficiently redistributed across the expanded partitions without the need for manual data movement, ensuring a seamless and efficient scalability process. In my current organization, approximately three projects involve the usage of SingleStore, with a team size ranging from ten to twenty individuals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easily scalable and manageable. Tools can be easily added to the solution."
"There are many valuable features, but scalability stands out. It can scale across zones. You can define multiple nodes. They have also partnered with AWS, offering great service with multiple features, including built-in backup, all under the same roof, without the need for external tools."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"MongoDB Atlas is a platform as a service and it has proven to be particularly valuable due to its self-managing nature. This has allowed us to minimize the amount of time and effort required to manage it, as it effectively manages itself. Additionally, it is a complete solution when looking at its features."
"What I found most valuable in MongoDB Atlas is its Elasticsearch feature. It also has high availability, so it's stable."
"I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support."
"It has a flexible integration with our easy API."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
 

Cons

"I would like the solution to offer more integration capabilities since it is an area where the solution lacks."
"The initial setup is not too difficult but can be somewhat tricky."
"I am still new with it, but since I mentioned that I'm using this product for only the last six months and my experience with this product is good thus far, on a scale of one to ten, I would give MongoDB Atlas a six."
"A few areas that we have noticed as being problematic with the MongoDB Atlas include user access to the platform. Currently, it is difficult to restrict and control what actions a user can perform within the solution, which poses a challenge from an internal auditing perspective."
"An area for improvement in MongoDB Atlas is that it does not support individual or personal database backup, though it supports cloud cluster backup."
"Searching and browsing through the collection must be made easier."
"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
"The UI is not currently designed in a manner to make it possible for a non-technical person or a layman to update the database easily."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"We pay for a license."
"In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"The tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"The pricing and licensing is great."
"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."
"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."
"I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."
"The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."
"SingleStore is a bit expensive."
