A schema-less database that is easy to use and provides good value for money
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for. MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use when you are familiar with MongoDB and how to write query functions. I would give the solution a nine out of ten for usability.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
MongoDB Atlas provides good value for money. MongoDB Atlas is not expensive, and since it's a cloud-based solution, you pay by usage.
What other advice do I have?
MongoDB Atlas is a cloud-based solution. The solution's installation, setting up, and integration are relatively easy. MongoDB Atlas provides the functionalities it promises.
Users should focus on the technical design and figure out how they want the data, what data scheme they're aiming for, how to build properly, and how to design data properly. For everything else, they provide you with enough tools to understand what you're doing pretty much by yourself.

Easy to deploy, scalable, and has great technical support
What is our primary use case?
For MongoDB as a service, there are two distinct ways to use it: as a personal user, where one can register on Atlas and experiment with its features; and as a professional, where one can use it for backup management, environment management, and creating figures. Additionally, MongoDB Atlas has features such as data lake capability, the ability to create charts from queries without using other BI tools, and Apache Lucene for text search. I have experimented with these features, but I have not used them professionally. The most relevant use for me is managing backups. Atlas MongoDB also allows for making REST calls and creating applications with triggers, although I have not used it for programming applications much.
How has it helped my organization?
It has a good easy to use gui and the ability to do most of the management operations under automation
What is most valuable?
The most useful feature is the management of the backup. I use a managed tool offered by MongoDB to manage an on-prem environment and compare it with the SaaS service and software. The solution is very ready-to-use and it is much simpler to manage backups, which cuts down on the amount of work and stress. However, at least two other features should be mentioned in the current versions. Search integrated with Lucene and the possibility of storing vector data.
What needs improvement?
There are some Mongo new features that could be useful for the customers I work with, which are related to migration from on-prem to the cloud. MongoDB is currently working on these features. With the latest version of Mongo, there are new tools that help with migrating. However, currently, only Mongo can use these new features. Soon these migration tools should be released to the public and could really assist with migration also from SQL on-prem environment to Atlas.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I give the scalability a nine out of ten. MongoDB is very easy to scale and with Atlas, it is possible with a few clicks and configurations.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team is skilled, prepared, and really helpful.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. Only one person is required for deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For me, MongoDB Atlas could be expensive as every cloud service because I don't have many other terms of comparison, but I think it is not so expensive for customers. In the end, they may be able to save money rather than buy it on-premise however, on-premise, they do not have access to all the features that Atlas exposes. The costs are similar to having a cloud provider and if we look at the short-term, there is a real saving of money investing in their service instead of making it on-prem in the same scenario.
What other advice do I have?
I give the solution an eight out of ten. I am not familiar with other SQL databases on the cloud. I know that Atlas is quite stable and the service is good, providing customers with all the necessary features to use it as a service. MongoDB Atlas is integrated and available on Google, AWS, and Azure.
I advise people to take advantage of the free courses from MongoDB University that are very well done to gain a general knowledge of MongoDB. Therefore, if someone has no experience with Mongo, they can get great preparation for the MongoDB University course without spending any money.
