Document data has streamlined prototyping and now supports secure cloud deployments
I use the cloud version of the product. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is from MongoDB, though I also use DigitalOcean as a third-party provider. Maybe it's all more about preferences. I think MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has weak support on the ORM side, particularly if you're using Prisma. I think mostly the focus now on the tools we have is PostgreSQL. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is not really used that much on our side for production. It's not really a weak point. It's more of a double-edged sword. If you like document-based management databases and you don't want any migrations, then you go to MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. If you want more secure databases, then you use SQL. On the account management and the way you secure the connection strings, I have utilized advanced security features with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side. But if you go to other providers of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, such as DigitalOcean, it may be harder to set up, but they can save you money.

Delivers superior search and data aggregation capabilities
Neo4j helps with advanced search needs, providing good search results and aggregates compared to MongoDB. Aggregating with MongoDB can be difficult; however, with Neo4j, it's easier. Aggregating data, backing up, and creating new clusters are user-friendly from the back end. In DevOps web deployment, we noticed no database issues. We created Docker instances and set them up efficiently, managing databases up to 50 gigabytes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are talking about a rapid activity and replication solution which serves our needs well."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
"I like that MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
"In our case, it is most important to have redundancy."
"MongoDB is the best choice for us when we want to store NoSQL-type data."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"It is good for search-based tasks, providing solid search results and aggregate results."
"The graph modeling paradigm suits our data set well, where there may be orders of magnitude more connections between data points than data points themselves."
"It enables circumstances which would have been a complex problem to be simplified."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"Neo4j helps with advanced search needs, providing good search results and aggregates compared to MongoDB."
"The solution's best feature is how it differs from traditional SQL databases. It's hard to map people and find those near me in SQL, which requires long, complex queries. Neo4j Graph Database makes this easier with simpler queries. It also supports more data types, like JSON, which SQL doesn't."
"For now, the tool doesn't break down or stop, so it is quite stable."
 

Cons

"MongoDB has a "heavy" architecture, which limits the scalability options."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"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."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
"The performance can be improved."
"The only problem is that the community is quite small."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
"The tool could improve by having more resources, especially for Golang, which we use. It lacks good basic libraries and doesn't have an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool, which many NoSQL databases have. We thought about building an ORM for the Neo4j Graph Database but are too busy."
"For me, when the tool was deployed on an on-premises model, it was a little bit difficult the first time."
"There are things I found unintuitive or difficult to understand, however I can't say this is a deficiency in the product and likely more a function of my relatively low experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"It's open-source."
"If you want support with the solution you will need to purchase a license and not use the open-source version. The license is a little expensive."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
"The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The solution is open source so that you can use it for free. They also offer an enterprise version with its billing. If your company is earning well, I suggest using the enterprise version. Otherwise, you can deploy it on your own cloud and pay based on usage."

Questions from the Community

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for MongoDB?
I think it depends on the provider. For example, on DigitalOcean, they have strict routing. You have to whitelist an IP address, or you risk getting DDoS. Then if you're going for the Atlas one tha...
What needs improvement with MongoDB?
I don't really have a deep dive into it, but I see that MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has RAG and Vertex support. However, we really didn't use it because I think one thing also is that Prisma, the O...
What is your primary use case for MongoDB?
A typical use case for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is mostly for the database, storing our data.
What needs improvement with Neo4j Graph Database?
The only problem is that the community is quite small.
What is your primary use case for Neo4j Graph Database?
We have used Neo4j in microservices. In one of the microservices, we used Neo4j since we have some requirements similar to MongoDB plus Elasticsearch. It performs both functions. Instead of doing t...
What advice do you have for others considering Neo4j?
We have used both editions without any difficulty. In the fourth year, they provided the software, and we installed three additional community editions with no issues. Backing up required some effo...
