The documentation provided by Qdrant covers most queries effectively.
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
I rate the technical support of Qdrant as a nine because I think we have never reached out to them directly, but Qdrant has good support available online, and I can get answers from forums.
Co Founder & CEO at SaYukth Private Limited
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is praised for its high scalability and adaptability, despite some limitations and cost implications.
Sentiment score
5.5
Qdrant's scalability in Docker enables efficient expansion and performance with multiple CPUs, attracting migrations from alternative solutions.
In CosmoDB, the scalability is much better than with the MongoDB ReplicaSet models.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
MongoDB is highly scalable.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate MongoDB an eight; it's mostly because we're still running a monolithic environment on old hardware, so there are some limitations with read-write access.
General Manager at Lytwave
In the recruiting agency project, the reliance on the vector database has expanded from storing hundreds of resumes to thousands.
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
When Qdrant is deployed in Docker, it scales really fast, and you can assign multiple CPUs to enhance performance.
Analyst at Synergy Connect
Qdrant handles growing workloads and data volumes well for me, which was a significant reason for my shift from other popular alternatives to Qdrant.
Full Stack Product Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is generally stable, reliable for backups, though performance may vary; rated seven to nine in stability.
Sentiment score
7.7
Qdrant is stable, reliable, easy to use, but inactive clouds terminate after a week, affecting continuous hosting.
It's pretty much stable; we have not faced any major challenges or difficulties with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
You need to patch Qdrant as soon as patches are released.
Co Founder & CEO at SaYukth Private Limited
It is easy to use whether on LangChain or on its own.
Full Stack Product Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Qdrant is stable, except for the limitation concerning the termination of inactive clouds after a week.
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced can improve by enhancing security, support, integration, scalability, analytics, user interface, and mobile features.
Qdrant requires UI enhancements, improved backup management, and integrated automation to address operational complexities and improve features.
While solutions for other databases like SQL or PostgreSQL already exist, MongoDB requires additional integrations for developing AI solutions.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have not contracted the security options in our contract because they're too expensive; thus, we implement just encrypted databases and not the security pack.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
Fast large-scale filtering operations could be implemented, such as automatic index suggestions, adaptive query planning, and smart indexing of metadata fields, which would make Qdrant even more efficient.
Full Stack Product Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
While it has clustering functionality, it is not easy to set up, and not everyone can configure the clustering, so there is room for improvement in the clustering configuration.
Co Founder & CEO at SaYukth Private Limited
Incorporating embedding features directly in Qdrant Cloud would eliminate the need to depend on external solutions.
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced offers cost-effective pricing with various editions and support, valued by small businesses for enterprise transition.
Qdrant offers cost-effective enterprise pricing but scaling may require migrating to paid plans for advanced features and support.
We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
We have to pay approximately 2,000 euros per month for MongoDB.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
For a small company, the cost of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is reasonable, but for heavy data usage, we see a little bit of cost pressure but it's acceptable.
Co-Founder at Vsigma IT Labs Pvt Ltd
Using Qdrant is free.
Chief Ai Scientist at Predictive Systems
Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, since I am using only the free tier of Qdrant Cloud, there are no setup costs involved.
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
Licensing posed no issues, as Qdrant is open-source software with no upfront fees.
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
 

Valuable Features

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced provides scalable, stable, and flexible data management with advanced analytics, NoSQL features, and comprehensive security.
Qdrant enhances search precision using hybrid vectors, offers cost-effective deployment, and supports efficient AI handling with flexible APIs.
It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and add new data points.
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
In ReplicaSet, it's acceptable, but if your workload needs more performance, and you must pass to a Sharding model, it becomes complicated in MongoDB; in Cosmos DB, however, it's simple.
Architecte Cloud at Visiativ SA
MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard.
General Manager at Lytwave
The ability of Qdrant to handle high-dimensional vectors for my AI projects is pretty fast, and I think it's the best we have used so far.
Chief Ai Scientist at Predictive Systems
An accuracy boost was definitely observed from 45 to 50% using Faiss to around 85 to 95% using Qdrant, and the users are really happy as they are getting suggested really good schemes that would take a lot of time to find.
Analyst at Synergy Connect
The best features of Qdrant are GPU support, which enables very fast processing, and a very light footprint as it uses fewer resources.
Co Founder & CEO at SaYukth Private Limited

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.
Chirag Morajkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
Building accurate no-code resume screeners has saved weeks in document search workflows
I see room for improvement in Qdrant based on what another platform called Weaviate offers. Qdrant provides an excellent vector database with a solid searching method. However, it could elevate its offering by integrating embedding features. Currently, for the workflow automation I build, I rely on other platforms for embedding, so incorporating this feature directly in Qdrant Cloud would eliminate the need to depend on external solutions. A pain point I have encountered was the inactive expiration of the cloud created for certain projects. If the cloud is not used for a week, it gets terminated, which is frustrating. I think increasing that inactivity window in the free tier would be beneficial, as I have faced limitations due to this seven-day inactivity rule, requiring me to reset up the cloud after its termination.
