    Gowri R.

Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance

  • December 23, 2018
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

* High availability
* Resource recovery
How has it helped my organization?
It brought a lot of confidence to our team.
What is most valuable?
* High availability
* Zero maintenance, to double up things.
What needs improvement?
The cost needs improvement. The product is good, but the cost that we paid for it is expensive, so it wasn't that valuable.
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The reliability is good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is reliable. We have a small environment right now.
How was the initial setup?
The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment were easy and straightforward.
AWS works well with this application, but that is the only thing we have tested. We are happy with it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy and seamless. We chose the AWS Marketplace because it is a brand name and a popular product.
It is too expensive. They need to work on this.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I also evaluated the open source version of this same product, but chose the AWS version for more reliability and enterprise support.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend the product.

It was easy and quick to market in terms of getting the application deployed rapidly

  • December 17, 2018
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

It drives a good portion of our client-facing software utilities.
What is most valuable?
* Scalability is its most valuable feature, as it is pretty simple.
* The maintenance is fairly easy.
* It was easy and quick to market in terms of getting the application deployed rapidly.
What needs improvement?
The cost needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
Three to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is fine.
How is customer service and technical support?
We use technical support quite frequently. The tech support experiences that I have heard anecdotally have been fine. I haven't heard about any issues of getting problems resolved.
We are mostly using technical support because of changes in deployments and learning how to configure new things. While a lot of the work is done in-house, it is more about extending the capabilities of our internal team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing could always be better.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I am sure that they evaluated other products, but it's been in deployment since I have been with the company. Therefore, I don't know if they looked at other types of databases at that time.
What other advice do I have?
It is a great product. It works fine, so we recommend it. We are continuing to use and expand it.
Right now, MongoDB is deployed for a very specific use case. However, it is something that we always consider when we are looking to migrate away from traditional RDBMS, like Oracle and SQL Server, then MongoDB is on the top of that list. We see if it is capable of supporting the app as written.
I was not involved in the implementation or configuration.

Our queries are quicker with it. It is also very easy to use.

  • December 16, 2018
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

We use it for hosting data on the cloud.
How has it helped my organization?
It enables us to get work done quickly and get to our data. It benefits us by providing performance.
What is most valuable?
* As a user, it is very easy to use. There is nothing complicated.
* We can write queries and go through it very quickly; our queries are quicker with it.
* Many tools are there. Other companies are providing many tools for getting to your MongoDB.
What needs improvement?
The import and export process needs improvement, i.e., getting in and out. Moving data from other databases into MongoDB, along with indexing, was challenging. However, it has been improving.
I would like them to make the product easier to use.
For how long have I used the solution?
Three to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We are happy right now with stability unless something goes wrong down the line. In that case, you have to bite the bullet.
In terms of workloads, we put 60 to 80 percent on it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
So far, so good. However, we have had issues with our VPC, and how we have stored on S3 and our instances that we have with MongoDB. We are learning as we are building more capacity.
Our environment is utility customers, which is millions of meters, and each one has their own instance. We obtain that data for every 15 minutes in a big city environment, which is why performance is very important.
How is customer service and technical support?
The technical support is good. We have received very good feedback.
How was the initial setup?
The integration and configuration were pretty easy. We loved it. Otherwise, we would have changed databases.
What was our ROI?
We have definitely seen ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was involved later on in the evaluation process when we were looking to import and export data out of MongoDB. We looked at MySQL, but we wanted to be on the cloud instead of managing our data on MySQL.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend it. It is better than the legacy databases, and it is very good with the cloud.

Choose the best option for MongoDB

  • December 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The insights are the best in this, and the ability to receive alerts is also great. It is really valuable to monitor and troubleshoot when there are issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
MongoDB itself is not that great in the cloud (AWS). It's expensive, not so optimized, and the list goes on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To monitor the data pipeline's database performance. Reduce human error. Save time and money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More Efficient Operations with Automated Database Management is required.

An effective solution to manage user data

  • December 14, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SQL cannot handle every use case. The nice thing about MongoDB is the ability to store large blobs of data in easily accessible ways, in order to grab this information quickly and efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is *very* particular for its use case. The important thing is to make sure you know what you're using it for, and trying to change DB structure after initial setup can be brutal. Having the data remote means it's harder to diagnose and fix issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing user data accessible by a user ID - save data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I see a lot of people trying to decide between SQL and NoSQL DB structures; both of them have their uses, and both use cases are absolutely valid and necessary. Be mindful about the way you want your data structured, and then having the right tools for that. The Cloud Manager makes it easier to monitor issues and to keep track of your usage.

MongoDB Cloud Manager Easy To Use

  • December 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
switching versions is very simple and smooth and it takes a very short time. I also like that I can see all of my different database servers in a very short time. A good backup strategy is a critical part of any database management system. MongoDB offers many options for backups and recovery/restore. Along with a good backup method, it is very important to have multiple replicas of the database. This helps to restore the database without having the downtime of even one second.

I also found that reporting and real-time are too much useful especially to determine server problem, that helps me a lot
What do you dislike about the product?
On the size of Data cost effects.
Do not have store procedure application logic in the MongoDB.
Slow restoring process.
Sometimes for larger databases, the backup process can be very resource intensive.
The backup process can increase the load on the server because of these reasons so you should run the backup process during the nights or non-peak hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used MongoDB Cloud Manager for point-in-time restore in our system. For us, its a best continuous and online backup solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
