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

It is a fully documented DB where there are no relationships and can insert data in JSON format with n number of fields.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

As there are no relationships, sometimes it is difficult to search a particular data and that is time-consuming.

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

It is data base where we can store the bulk of data in JSON format.

"MongoDb review"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The best thing about MongoDb is we can store any type of data by creating our own data type. Connection with other tools using Api is also simple. Syntaxes are easy to learn.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Complex aggregation queries are difficult when compared to sql. On a shared collection transaction is not supported. Documentation is not user friendly, it will be confusing.

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

It has rapid pace of development because it is schema less. It also simplifies modelling complex, non relational data sets. Data replication is also fast and easy.

"Strong NoSQL candidate. Easy to use, and works well with various needs."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I like how easy MongoDB is to integrate with my applications. The document-based aspect is also beneficial because it allows for raw JSON data to be directly inserted into the database.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

There isn't anything I particularly dislike, but I believe their GUI applications could use some more refining (MongoDB Compass).

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

I can take data that I have massaged from CSV into JSON and directly insert the JSON into the document-based database. I don't have to worry about reformatting the data just to store it in my database. This reduces the risk of error when modifying the format of data.

"Easy to learn NO-SQL based database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Querying on MongoDB is so easy and simple that even a beginner can understand it very easily. Also, it has functions that are very useful for direct operations like count(), distinct, etc.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

When a collection becomes too large, MongoDB doesn't perform very well and also there is a lack of connection between different collections.

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

We are storing eCommerce websites products as jsons in mongodb. Benefits are that you can save python dictionaries or jsons directly in mongo.

"New tech-stacks need new databases where MongoDB comes"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

High availability is the best feature—no need to worry about the stability or server uptime.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

MongoDB is not matching to all scenarios. Sometimes you need to stick to a SQL database for simplicity. This is not a reason to dislike but a reason to avoid in some cases. Also, documentation could have improved for new users.

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

No need to normalize the schema.

"MongoDb: Indexing made search convenient"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The best part is that you can create database on runtime with no restriction for data types. Indexing makes it even more convenient to search for an specific records or no of records, it saves time and search in a targeted manner.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

It command line interface needs experts to work with. It should have been a better UI for everyone's convenience. It sometimes doesn't work when working with huge data processing.

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

There is no need to create complex schemas for a dataset.

"Product Review - MongoDB"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB is a NoSQL database which has the ability to handle large unstructured data. It's a flexible database i.e. schemas less which gives us a freedom to store data of different types which we were not getting in SQL databases. Another mani benefit which i have seen in MongoDB is Sharding which allows us to distribute the large data to the several servers connected to the application. Another main thing was Scalability as we were dealing with loads of data, It is a horizontally scalable database.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

I would not say i dislike but it depends on the use case that we are using. First thing, JOINS are not supported which is the backbone of SQL databases. Another thing is the maximum document size which can't be greater than 16MB. I really don't understand what's the concept of this limit.

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

We are trying to use a database in which the schema is not fixed and can be changed over time which is not easily possible in SQL database. Another thing, we want to handle large unstructured data and most of our service are cloud based, mongoDB was our best shot i say

"MongoDB Cloud Manager review"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The ease of use of the product allows us to see the health of our database and its sanctity in real time.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

For a new user all the charts and graphs can be overwhelming at start, a more smoother flow and introduction to the product will be beneficial.

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

The alerts which are triggered when any data value goes out of bounds, helps us to determine any anomaly in the products we sell. It also helps us to realise if any part of the system is broken.

"Mongo DB review f"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Coming from a traditional relational db background, I appreciate the performance and operational benefits of using Mongo DB. We use a lot of unstructured data and have been using Mongo as our store and it has been a good fit

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

A lot of our data is unstructured and needs to be searchable. I am looking for ways to optimize our lookups. Better tooling support would certainly be appreciated. We do use explain plans though.

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

As stated above we use it mostly to store unstructed documents
