Transforms data flow with adaptable schema and smooth public cloud deployment
One of our business units uses MongoDB, and we developed an ETL pipeline that extracts data from MongoDB and transfers it into our data warehouse MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is similar to a document database. It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and…

Easy to integrate and manage the setup phase
One of the things that I want to see in Oracle Berkeley DB is a driver for reactive programming. I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into. Other tools have become more innovative in many areas. I know that Oracle has many responsibilities in maintaining the situation with the current projects and so on. I think it would be very cool if Oracle could make improvements to its projects, as it can help me with my current projects. One reason why I don't choose Oracle Berkeley DB is because we want to go for reactive programming, along with Project Reactor from Spring, but we don't have the official driver for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We've found the product to be scalable."
"It is very easy to create a MongoDB cluster. You can deploy three nodes in one hour. You can do small configurations to enable routing. It is easy to implement."
"MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer."
"MongoDB is flexible and it allows other applications to be added."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"The product meets all the essential business requirements."
"The tool's performance is good, and I don't have any problems with it."
 

Cons

"It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects."
"The performance could be faster."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"The free tools, like MongoDB Compass, could be enhanced."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements."
"The product's interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"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."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"There is a need to pay for the licenses and features of the tool."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
