Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
Offers reliable engine for legacy needs but requires enhanced cost management and AI features
While MongoDB is a good product, it is also an expensive product for support, and its scalability is acceptable, but the big problem with MongoDB is the cost. For security in MongoDB, we work with encrypted databases by default, but we have not contracted the security options in our contract because it is too expensive, so we only implement encrypted databases without the security pack, which is very expensive for us; in security, we are at the first steps, just using encrypted databases. I think additional features needed in MongoDB include perhaps vector databases, as I think they are not supported right now.

Support on banking at Aithent
Handles large data volumes effectively but connection issues require attention
The Oracle NoSQL solution is used primarily for storing data for our web applications. We work alongside the DBA team for this purpose, given that specific departments manage aspects of its use. We choose it specifically to handle large scales of data, such as in one of our bank customer's scenarios using more than nine hundred gigabytes of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the predefined functions available when using Node.js. These functions simplify the query process, making it user-friendly and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"The installation is very easy to do and understand."
"MongoDB is extremely developer-friendly because when you are starting, there is very little time needed upfront in terms of planning."
"It facilitates the generation of heatmaps for graphical data analysis."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
 

Cons

"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
"The scalability of the product is acceptable, but with MongoDB, the big problem is the cost."
"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 installation is difficult."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"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."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"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 a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
"This is an open-source solution."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
