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

"Now we actually have some results which prove that the MongoDB way is a positive way and this is what we ended up using for other scenarios."
"My impression is that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"We are talking about a rapid activity and replication solution which serves our needs well."
"MongoDB is cool; there is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB, and MongoDB is scalable and fast."
"MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer."
"MongoDB is also great for managing logs."
"MongoDB is comparatively lightweight; it is a JSON extract, and once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want, making it easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB and easier to set it up as compared to other solutions."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"So far, we find stability to be very reasonable, it is dependable and we do not have any big issues."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"NoSQL has high availability; I think it's perfect from a technical perspective, and it's quick to run and go."
"With Oracle NoSQL, our clients have a highly scalable, simple to set up database that performs very well when data is organized correctly from the beginning."
"The features I've found to be most valuable are the speed of reading and writing (read/write performance levels are really high), the transactions model (semantics for data manipulation), and just the overall simplicity of using it."
"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."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
 

Cons

"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"The solution could have more integration."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
"The pricing is expensive. MongoDB should better support small and medium companies."
"Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
"Personally, I’d like to see some improvements in the monitoring UI for it."
"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."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"The main areas that need improvement with NoSQL are in the area of big data and user-friendly presentation."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
"You will get high performance when you organize your data correctly at the beginning. Otherwise, there are instability issues."
"The installation is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"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."
"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."
"I only used the open-source version."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
