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

  • 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:
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. that's why I Recommend MongoDB

It was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it

  • December 10, 2018
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

I used it for testing.
How has it helped my organization?
It provided time saving for me. It provided an easy way to create validation against the database.
What is most valuable?
As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it.
What needs improvement?
The UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work. It may have been improved by now.
For how long have I used the solution?
Three to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Except for the UI's stability, the product's overall stability is fine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is good.
How is customer service and technical support?
We did not use the technical support.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Right now, I'm using DynamoDB, and I preferred using MongoDB more.
What other advice do I have?
