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…

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go 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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"The installation is very easy to do and understand."
"In our case, it is most important to have redundancy."
"It facilitates the generation of heatmaps for graphical data analysis."
"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."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"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

"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"The user interface is not as friendly as Oracle, which is something that can be improved."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
"MongoDB should support TypeScript."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"MongoDB should improve its data loading part."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"The installation is difficult."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The product is affordable."
"I currently use the solution's community edition which is free."
"It's open-source."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
