What do you like best about the product?

One thing is that its a NOSQL database, meaning no schema required. Also, main thing i liked in mongodb is simplicity. We can define our data through objects (like document format or the json format). Interface of mongodb is calm and greenish making it very easier to create, edit and deliver the data. Also, there is this thing called "sharding" which i learnt in my studies, what happens is the high amount of data can be shared across multiple servers. This was the coolest thing i got to learn.

What do you dislike about the product?

Well. dislikes about mongodb, is linked to the disadvantages of nosql itself. Not particularly the mongodb, as the nosql doesnot require any schema to be defined. so in my personal experience, i used to get frustated when i noticed many object data got messed up. As i switched from sql. the table format habit was printed in my mind for months, took some while to understand the hierarchy of data being created in the nosql format or rather json format in mongodb (might say complex nodes affect the data).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

So i was working on a project where we needed to show updates on the app as soon as they happened. It was important because our app had to stay current with new info all the time. So we picked mongodb as our database. Also when more users had to use the app, we could add more mongodb servers easily without any crashing or slowing the app down. Obviously its a database, it helped to store large amounts of data organized in this json format. If you are working on a real time project that needs to show updates quicker, mongodb is a great choice!
