Quick, reliable NoSQL solution

  • March 15, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MongoDB is really very good NoSQL database. It is simple but powerful. It is quick on large datasets and simple to retrieve data. We use it mainly for logs and statistics data. Where our SQL-based database it uneffective Mongo comes and helps us.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you newer worked with NoSQL DBs it would be a little bit unusually to use it but perfect documentation and simple (JS-based) query language helps you to start quick.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MongoDB is used for statistics and logs data. Store that in SQL DB is very resourse expensive and uneffective.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a lot of unstructured data such as logs you should give MongoDB a try!

MongoDB and itds new cool features!

  • February 23, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are many new cool features which came with MongoDB 3.4. Here are my favorites:
* Native Graph Processing - special purpose graph databases do a good job at storing and querying graph data. But often you want traverse graph data directly in the database. With MongoDB you can process, query, and analyze in real time, without the complexity of duplicating data across two separate databases.
* Improvements for Visualizing MongoDB Data - The complete connector has been reworked and offers now improvements in performance and scalability.


And there will be exiting news of the upcoming version 3.6:
For increasing performance:
- Wire Protocol Compression
- OP_MSG

Introduction of Session:
- Retryable Writes (this is my favorite)
- Causally Consistent Reads
- Notification API
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I struggle over the javascript syntax which is intensely used and some time a little bit unhandy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I deal with huge databases, especially the connection to Spark and the new BI Connector in combination with the new aggregation functions helped me already to get things done faster than in the past.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get ready to understand the concepts of noSQL databases first.
Understand to "Think in documents". If not you may have a rough start.

Somewhere between SQL and NoSQL

  • February 15, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free to add or change fields
Fast performance
Compression (starting with WT)
What do you dislike about the product?
w=0, default handling in earlier versions
in earlier versions, the disk usage was quite high (about 10x the actual size)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing session data
Analytics
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Store everything in one object, do not use the SQL split into different tables paradigm, because Mongo only in the latest versions has added support for queries with JOIN. ($lookup)

Lifesaver or at least product-saver

  • February 13, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MongoDB is very easy to learn and the BSON format make is super clear to read and interact with.
The most important for us was the sharding feature and the fact we could take advantage of atomic operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a general purpose DB and you need to plan heavily before creating new db schema.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were have a lot of performance problems with our write-heavy application and MongoDB helped us save all those problems. The installation and maintenance was also very straight-forward and we were able to pick it up with ease from the online documentation.

Not a silver bullet, but definitely bronze

  • February 11, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easiest document database with real querying capabilities with map and reduce built in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Update queries get really slow and database performance starts falling linearly with the size of database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflow management with jobs and task tracking. Product catalog with the evolving schema of products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be wise to design the db in a way that makes optimization of queries or database writes possible. Since it is a nosql document store it is easy to design badly and therefore needs special attention from early on

Most mature open source NoSQL database

  • February 07, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MongoDB is a versatile NoSQL database, that requires limited training to get started. Querying the database doesn't involve writing complex code, but simply sending a JSON filter.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up a production system can be rather expensive for small systems. Setup and maintenance can also be rather complicated without paid tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MongoDB has a dynamic schema. This give flexibility to the application, making it possible to easily create backward- and forward compatible versions. The schema does allow the creation of indexes, to increase performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MongoDB can be tricky to setup and maintain. I recommend taking a course and/or using a SAAS product.

No sql Database

  • January 30, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mongodb does not have primary Key and foreign key concept which makes it better than SQL database.
It has relationship between tables and which can be related easily.
It has npm packages to integrate to Nodejs server.
It has mongodb driver npm package to access all native methods
It has packages for auto-populate and auto-delete(soft delete)
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to sort the result that is json according to the front-end developer.
It does not use elastic search.
Validating the sub-schema is hard.
It is not easy to join two tables (map-reduce)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster database operations.
Easy to write database queries via NPM packages.
Easy to relate tables that is establish relationship between tables.

Easy to work with...

  • January 12, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mongo was extremely easy to get started with. We found lots of resources to get up and running (from both Mongo and 3rd parties) but none were really necessary. The performance for our relatively small (~20GB) dataset is fine. There are a number of cloud services that provide hosted solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that it was easy to set up also meant we left lots of default settings for way too long. Coming from a RDBMS world, it was tough to fully understand and apply the aggregation framework that MongoDB uses. Additionally, being a NoSQL DB, not having a schema for our data has burned us many times. For example, before we hardened our code, our dates were stored as Date objects, numbers, Strings, and nulls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using MongoDB for our primary storage medium. It is easy to use, performant enough for our needs, and easy to find help and support for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an easy NoSQL database to use, MongoDB is a good place to start. However, be aware that the flexibility gained by using schema-less persistence must be made up in code.

Versatile Document-Oriented DB

  • January 11, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We've used mongo in three different projects: in to of them for data serialization and for schema analysis for the other one. The query API is powerful and expressive and object serialization (with Morphia, I am sure there are other great frameworks) is seamless and with minimal annotation overhead. MongoDB Compass tool that comes with it is fantastic for statistically analyzing the schema of arbitrarily hierarchical data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would probably add a bit more flexible wildcard-style query capability (i.e. when you don't know a specific name for a field, but know a little about the structure it should satisfy), but I'm being picky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Natura language understanding. Mongo's support for heterogeneous documents has been very handy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get up and running in no time with just little knowledge of JSON.

Decent for non-rapid database calls

  • January 10, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fast NoSQL results, easy setup, easy configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Read/write locks become a bottleneck. Replication authentication is tricky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MongoDB for our messaging system. I used it in a project previously for location mapping, their Geo location support is amazing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider other NoSQL databases
