How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was quite easy, but for some use cases, it was a bit difficult.
The solution is deployed on the private cloud services offered by AWS.
The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours. The product's initial deployment phase can be taken care of in an hour, and if any further deployments are required after that, it takes less than an hour.
Six to seven engineers are required to take care of the deployment and maintenance phases of the solution.
What other advice do I have?
The integration capabilities of MongoDB are fine for the solutions that we use in our company.
The tool's vendor takes care of the product's maintenance.
I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Enhanced flexibility in data modeling, seamless scalability and efficient handling of unstructured or complex data through its document-oriented structure
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case is data retrieval. It allows for easy retrieval of data as all the required information is stored within the document. This becomes particularly useful as the company scales, preventing queries from becoming sluggish.
How has it helped my organization?
Working with it extends beyond database skills. Utilizing additional tools such as ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow), languages like Python for data analysis, and platforms like Apache Spark for distributed computing can enhance one's capabilities in extracting meaningful insights from data.
What is most valuable?
It facilitates the generation of heatmaps for graphical data analysis. This can be valuable for visualizing patterns and trends in data. While other databases like Cassandra may also serve this purpose, MongoDB stands out for its simplicity in handling complex queries and graphical data representation.
What needs improvement?
It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with it for a year now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is highly stable. I would rate it nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It emerges as a favorable choice for customers seeking efficient data storage and scalability. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it at eight.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have been working with both MongoDB and HIVE and the choice between them depends on the specific requirements of the client. While I've been actively engaged with both databases, the preference depends on the nature of the data and whether file storage is required. If data retrieval is the primary focus without the need for file storage, I opt for MongoDB. On the other hand, if the client requires storage for both data and files, HIVE becomes the main choice.
How was the initial setup?
I would rate the initial setup six out of ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I only used the open-source version.
What other advice do I have?
Opting for MongoDB could be beneficial, especially for storing large volumes of records, even for transient data. The decision hinges on the nature of the data itself. If there is a significant amount of metadata, it becomes a preferable choice for its scalability and superior query performance. It's important to anticipate future operations; for example, if there's a current load of ten thousand audio and video files, MongoDB can efficiently handle it. Overall, I wold rate it eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
A stable solution that can be used to store structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data
What is most valuable?
Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB. Atlas is an awesome feature of MongoDB that makes life easy.
What needs improvement?
People coming from RDBMS should have the flexibility to write queries in SQL that can be converted into JSON queries. This feature is working, but we can still achieve some integration and make it more flexible. It is not as easy as writing direct queries on Atlas. This feature will definitely increase a lot of users. RDBMS users think this is a different query language, MQL, which is uncomfortable for them.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using MongoDB version 6.0 for more than 12 years as a customer.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
MongoDB is a very stable solution. The solution is a leader, according to the Gartner report.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In our company, around 2000 to 3000 people are using the solution.
How are customer service and support?
MongoDB’s technical support is awesome.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used the RDBMS solution, MySQL.
MongoDB has five to ten times better performance than MySQL. MongoDB has a lot of advantages. With MongoDB, you can store any kind of data, including structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. MongoDB has a lot of benefits over RDBMS.
How was the initial setup?
It is very easy to deploy MongoDB. If it is deployed on-premises, it takes an hour. It does not need any additional prerequisites or configuration details.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a lot of ROI with MongoDB because it gives five to ten times better performance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others.
The solution's pricing depends on the deal, which includes how long you will use it and the number of deployments. They do not have a fixed cost. However, the maintenance and support cost is included.
What other advice do I have?
I am satisfied with the product.
Our organization has a DBA team of 50 people. However, the work for the DBAs is minimal because MongoDB intends to have zero DBA. They want to develop a product where the need for DBAs is minimized.
Users should approach MongoDB with an open mind, without thinking that it's a different technology altogether and has a different language. Users don't need to develop the application based on a schema. They can develop the application, and the schema will follow.
Overall, I rate MongoDB an eight out of ten.
