MongoDB is Simple to Use NoSQL DB
What do you like best about the product?
I've liked MongoDB from the beginning for it's ease of use. When building out a new app, it's no schema nature makes building the data layer a snap. It has very supported clients in pretty much every programming language, so I've never had an issue with Mongo support cross different environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mongo doesn't have native support for joins, which can bite you later when your db grows and complex queries would be better served by using a join. With that said, blindly using Mongo for a highly relational project is a reason many people give Mongo bad reviews, but it was never supposed to be used for such scenarios. Although, I admittedly sometimes still use Mongo in highly relational apps because it's ease of use makes up for some of the relational query issues I may have.
Also, mongo is password free by default, which unfortunately leads to a lot of users having public facing DBs with no password protection!
Lastly, a production environment is pretty complicated to setup properly. For the most part, I'd recommend using a service to manage this for you. So in that regard, a production environment setup could be much easier to setup.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love using Mongo in applications where the incoming data to be stored has no implicit structure. This is where a schemaless database shines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give MongoDB a try. It has a very low learning curve at first, so it's easy to get started. With all devs being familiar with JSON, the Mongo syntax is super easy to pickup. Just do not expect it to be a relational db, because it's not.

MongoDB changed how I construct databases
What do you like best about the product?
- Very different compared to SQL but in a good way. It really makes sense to me when constructing databases.
- I love how you troubleshoot the mongdb to see if data is being populated correctly or databases are nesting.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far after using it for a few months, I don't see any negative things at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am just creating my own personal apps using MongoDB as the back end database.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will definitely recommend.
Totally enjoying NoSQL with mongodb
What do you like best about the product?
Since mongodb is schemaless, it is very flexible when working with collecting dynamic data, I use mongodb for an IOT project and it involves storing large amounts of data and performing quick aggregations on a daily basis. MongoDB does this very fast and in my opinion performing time based operations on MongoDB is much easer than on MySQL; I have worked with MySQL and there came a time that my project almost came to a halt because the data queries became so complex and there was drop in performance. That has not been the case with MongoDB.
What do you dislike about the product?
Map reduce was something that took me a lot of time to understand and I just wish there were more resources to learn this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing analytics for IOT devices.
Having moved from MySql based system, where I was at my wits end trying to write proper queries, Mongodb uses plain Javascript which I understand well enough, it made my work a lot easier.
I didn't have to learn a lot to undestand how MongoDB worked because I already wrote code in Javascript and there are lots of good nodejs ORMs for MongoDb;

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want something scalable and fast, I would suggest MongoDB.
Best NoSQL option
What do you like best about the product?
I did a great research of NoSQL document oriented databases. MongoDB was my ultimate choice and I haven't regretted it yet. I loved the online documentation, the great books, the huge community. Technically, I've been running a web application with MongoDB with 3 shards and 2 replicas for 5 months now and it's working so smoothly it scares me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being used to work with MS SQL, I miss the Management Tool application. I found some client apps for Mongo, like Robomongo, but still haven't found the one that makes me feel completely covered and comfortable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MongoDB solves every database related problem for a modern web application. Dynamic document structure, rapid searching, ease of learning, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should read a book before starting using it. There are many configuration aspects you should know from the beginning.
Lightening fast development and easy scalability
What do you like best about the product?
MongoDB offers a fast development model over the traditional relational / SQL systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of good instrumentation to understand the internal state
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Startups development is all about experimentation, both in terms of business model and technical implementation. Using MongoDB it is possible to very rapidly construct and test ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you need to experiment, else go with proven solutions.
Fantastic DB for all aspects of the technical lifecycle
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy setup for prototyping applications without overly worrying about data structures, strong integration with high quality frameworks like NodeJS and Meteor, great to use when your using Javascript within your stack. The latest version that allows for joins within the aggregation pipeline has been fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
How much flack MongoDB (and most NoSQL DBs) get when people try to use them without understanding their benefits
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working heavily with the MeteorJS framework which is tied directly to MongoDB, not only do we use it in our production app we also use it for all of data analysis DB
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure it meets your requirements, which I guess can be said of any technology, mainly that whatever framework your using integrates well with MongoDB and has all the functionality you need it to have. In particular, how important are lots and lots of joins?
Fast, easy to use and scalable
What do you like best about the product?
Mongo is the best option for web based apps and can be used with other databases too. Is a perfect match for applications made on Node.js - and more, his scalabity and speed are amazing, making this database the first choice for startups and other bussiness with core on inovation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The database need some improvements like unique keys, but in general he is perfect! :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My tear are making some integrations with websites and mobile apps and using Mongo DB we can get fast response using sharding and others features. This DB is amazing fast and flexible!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a fast and flexible DB, with a lot of native support for fast lanes, this is your DB. But, you'll need a lot of team organization and documentation on your tasks - if you have a Agile Team, it's is a perfect match! :)
Good Database for Big data processing
What do you like best about the product?
Great data store in for nosql data stores.
What do you dislike about the product?
reliability is one concern with the no sql databases. Hence need to be improved upon. Not sure if ACID might be applicable to ur usecase but thats something I dont rely on mongodb for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying Mongodb for some analytical datastore where delays are OK. I will not use Mongo db for transactions data though.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Use it for application where Delays are OK.
Use mongodb in the app control system setting because the way to build ourql commands is very simple and powerful. Especially great when operating on small teams and most important, mongodb needs no standardization when the information is held in a pole/data set.
