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…

High-speed data processing, seamless scalability, and excellent high availability making it an optimal choice for those prioritizing performance and efficiency in a database solution
There's a noteworthy consideration when it comes to collecting massive amounts of data. It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks. Attempting to use it for direct extraction, for instance, might lead to memory-related challenges. While MySQL version five might lack extensive SQL capabilities, SingleStore also has its constraints, requiring simpler SQL writing. This becomes evident when seeking advanced functionalities like window functions or JSON functions, where SingleStore doesn't offer an extensive toolkit, necessitating a more straightforward approach to SQL.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My impression is that the initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
 

Cons

"The solution could have more integration."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"I would recommend MongoDB as part of a template if anyone is considering free and open-source templating services such as LibreNMS, but as a standalone, I couldn't advise."
"MongoDB should support TypeScript."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"I'd like to see an ID generator. It's very technical but I don't think it has one, so we have to go to great lengths to work around that."
"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"It is rather expensive."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"Our customers pay for yearly licenses for MongoDB."
"SingleStore is a bit expensive."
"The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."
"I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."
"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."
"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."
