"Fast, Flexible, Fun!"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Powerful aggregation tools, great documentation. GridFs is one of my favorite features. I'm amazed at it's speed and ease of use.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Some non-obvious syntax with variables in pipelines. Operations on arrays of sub-documents can be confusing.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast data retrieval and flexible data models are quite important to us. Our software is used on assembly lines and those two details are key to our customer's success. MongoDB has been a perfect fit in those respects. Uptime is also quite important to us, so the ability to replicate and fail over in Mongo is also exactly what we need.

"MongoDB is the future of data storage"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Extremely performant and easy to use. You don't need to be a developer to view and understand the data structure.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Need more around best practices in structuring data.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Segregation and performance of large data sets (data marts and data warehouses). With MongoDB, it is really easy to integrate with front end visualizations for performance. The reactivity is great!

"Document Store - NoSQL Review"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Ease of implementation, deployment and fantastic performance at price point.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Waiting for MongoDB 4.0 and ACID transactions!

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for light weight schema-less data store for docker container deployments. We have seen the performance / low latency we desired at an excellent price point.

"Ease of use"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

JSON like usage. Just storing/retrieving JSONs is huge for our SPA, as it just stores the objects from the front end straight to the database and back.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Lack of relationships. Comming from a RDBMS world is hard to envision everything as isolated objects.

"MongoDB is great for unstructured data"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The ease of operations, the ease of development and how well it fit into our agile IT org and our co timeous delivery model.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Non-ACID compliant which has limited MongoDB use cases that might have otherwise fit.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data from multiple sources that is slightly different, in a relational DB, the data model would become unwieldy quiet fast, but MongoDB was not o my more performant, but also allowed us to realize storage savings through compression.

"Perfect database for prototyping web services in Java then quickly going into production scale"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Unlike SQL databases, MongoDB's document model makes it very easy to develop new software ideas in Java and then making them persistent. Using the Morphia open-source library, we can easily map our Java classes and persist them in MongoDB in the same 'shape' making it very intuitive to understand and optimize the data design.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Coming from an SQL world, there is necessarily a bunch of new terminology and technology to understand. All of my previous experience about optimizing SQL databases no longer applies.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been developing translation memory systems for internationalizing e-commerce websites in real time. The enormous amount of textual data was overloading MySQL. Changing the design of the system - adding a fields or changing an index - was literally taking days of 100% CPU and made changing the production system a nightmare. With MongoDB we can quickly iterate, add new fields - change the 'shape' of the documents in the live system, test from our development environments - all without affecting the behaviour or performance of the live system.

"Fast and easy way to maintain data"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

non traditional way to maintain and process data, which is faster if designed well schematically

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

new format means we need to dedicate some time to understand to maintain data in document formats.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Migrate to fetch data faster.

"MongoDB works"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

It has reduced my calls in the middle of the night. The rep server redundancy makes things low stress.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

We would have liked an on-site consultant to verify our production deployment prior to go-live.

We are currently implementing a document store which will allow searches across multiple types of docements.

"Awesome experience so far"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I like the flexible schema. This allows developers to keep moving without all the riggor to get a new column added in production.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Flexibility has gotten us into trouble also. Developers are now just adding fields without modeling which in 10 years, this might become a problem when we try to do impact analysis

What do you like best about MongoDB?

Being schema-less provides lot of advantage in the agile atmosphere

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Lack of open source IDE available, need to expose more of the paid tools to be available with minimal options in the community edition too.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Log Analytics, Geo-information systems, and health data metrics analysis. Geo-location capabilities of mongodb are great out-of-box.

What do you like best about MongoDB?

- The flexible schema - db features like: aggregate, lookup, graph

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

To find something in the documentation takes me time. I also find it difficult to find in-depth articles on indexing, sharding etc.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building modern day micro-services based, API centric solutions for our clients. We build an ERP system on nodejs and mongo and now we are building a travel and booking platform.

"MongoDB ruined SQL databases for me"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The flexibility of document focused databases makes it easy to change or update schemas, hold data with varying sample rates or different, non-subset fields.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

High performance drivers to native data structures in other programming languages. Specifically, if I want to store time series data in Mongo, then retrieve in Python, the list of queries has to be iterated through to pull out the individual data fields. Some third party solutions provide a better solution.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data storage for IoT applications. SQL is certainly popular with business insight applications, but rolling out new and developing products in a start up meant we could not future proof our data collection up front when working with SQL databases.

"Quick, reliable NoSQL solution"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB is really very good NoSQL database. It is simple but powerful. It is quick on large datasets and simple to retrieve data. We use it mainly for logs and statistics data. Where our SQL-based database it uneffective Mongo comes and helps us.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

If you newer worked with NoSQL DBs it would be a little bit unusually to use it but perfect documentation and simple (JS-based) query language helps you to start quick.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

MongoDB is used for statistics and logs data. Store that in SQL DB is very resourse expensive and uneffective.
