Great database for use with your JavaScript and Node.js projects

  • April 22, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Native support of JSON is a great feature of MongoDB and a core requirement for my project. If you are new to MongoDB there are plenty of resources available to get you started with ease.
One of the resources I'd recommend to anyone considering MongoDB is Mongo University. Their free courses give novice MongoDB users all the essential skills to start with MongoDB.
More information is always available in MongoDB documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Persnally I find that maintenance of MongoDB can be tricky and might require more training and hands-on experience. One must also be comfortable with command line tools. I am still learning about proper security settings on my project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexibility and GeoSpatial queries and inexing.
Full-stack development with Meteor.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try.

MongoDB is awesome at what it does!

  • April 01, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about MongoDB is that it is simple and fast. There isn't a huge barrier to entry like with RDBMS's. When I first started working as a MSSQL developer, I would go home with my brain spinning for months wrapping my head around all the concepts and challenges. With MongoDB, within the first week I was like wow, I love this, it just makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the .NET driver implementation, it could use a rework in my opinion. You have to use tons of classes to build up your queries. It would be great if it took advantage of parameterized strings and more closely followed the pattern of the mongo shell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm storing data for social analytics and writing an intranet that uses MongoDB as it's data store. It has been very beneficial to have a datastore that stores my javascript documents in the same basic format instead of having to normalize and denormalize everything to get it in and out of MSSQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend taking the free M101DEV class they offer, it will give you a great introduction to MongoDB so you can make an informed decision. MongoDB is not a one solution for all product, so understanding it's purpose will help you from using it in the wrong context and really regretting it. When used for its intended purpose it is fantastic however.

Non relational database MongoDB for multiple purposes

  • March 22, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Since this is a non relational database it offers a different approach for storing data. It's a whole different world.

This db can be used for cache layers in large scalable systems. Can be used as well as an alternative database for web systems. In my personal experience I have used it and have seen it being used for large mobile apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The transition from relational databases to non relational like mongo can be hard sometimes, but once you get used, a learning curve that lasts about 1 month you will love it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To handle large amounts of data this db is a good option.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to scale a system, or store large amounts of data, this is a good option.

Used MongoDB for pretty small production usage - 1,200 documents at max.

What do you like best about the product?
The best things in MongoDB is the schema-less db - it helps move forward rapidly in prototypes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The query language is really hard to use, I would like it to be easier to query nested structures (such deep arrays or deep properties), I want to it to be intitutive like sql for data exploration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems I am trying to solve are simple CRUD for storing metadata on instances.

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! :)
