  • "It is really a pretty easy product to use; it's very reliable, it's proven."

What is most valuable?

I'm a developer, so I use it only in development. I'm not an IT professional or upper level guy. It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven. 

What needs improvement?

In terms of what could be improved, that's a difficult question actually, because we're really very happy with it.

As for what could be included in the next release, 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 have been using MongoDB for about half a year.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, all I can say is that in the organization, everybody uses it.

Good JSON support, transaction support, and community support
Pros and Cons
  • "It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us."
  • "It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get, there are a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us, and there is also a lot of transaction-related support from MongoDB."
  • "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 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."

What is our primary use case?

We are a logistics company, and we have a lot of data coming from the users. We have a model, but we need to be flexible with that model. That is one of the reasons why we are using MongoDB.

What is most valuable?

It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us.

There is also a lot of transaction-related support from MongoDB.

What needs improvement?

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. 

Sometimes, there are some problems in creating a connection with two or three tables, such as running two queries at a time or getting a reference from one table to another table. People generally don't use it much to join two or three tables, but I would like them to simplify that process.

It can sometimes be a little bit difficult to understand for a newcomer.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for one to one and a half years.

How are customer service and technical support?

There are a lot of articles and a lot of discussions online. So, we pretty much get all the answers that we want. If we have any problems in using it, it gets resolved as soon as possible. There are a lot of communities, and we are able to get the answers.

How was the initial setup?

I was not a part of the installation process. It was already installed when I joined the company or started working with it. So, I don't have much idea about it, but when we install it locally, there is not a lot to do with it. The control that we get from the command prompt of MongoDB makes it easy to use and very convenient.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend MongoDB to others. It is good in terms of support.

I would rate MongoDB an eight out of 10.
