"Great easy to learn and use"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The documentation is quite simple and to the point. I am able to understand it easily and implement it in my project that I was making quickly. It is intuitive, naming of the methods is quite memorable.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Free usage is upto 500mb only but cloud overall experience is quite good

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

i am always a fan of noSQL database, they may acquire a little more space but mongo is really fast. Me and my friends have implemented mongo in our project in much less time than any other database.

"MongoDB good scalability, and easy to use."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

It is excellent which allows me to execute many operations per second, which helps me save time. I can obtain excellent results at the time of administering large volume of documents or database. It is ideal because it offers me an automatic configuration. I have the power to make queries using javascript, which tells me that they go to the database directly. In the same way it has been easy for me to configure and also presents new and significant features in annual releases.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

I would like the document area to be presented to me with a good structure. It does not offer me a transaction function, it would be ideal to improve this feature. I think I find it a little slow to learn, it will take time. It would make me a little difficult, referring to complex queries, it would be ideal to explain better and be clearer, it would be good to perfect in reference to this point.

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

It is ideal in our company that we are using which offers us learning time because they are fast and facilitates greater scalability of the project. We can say that it is great because we also use it as commercial applications. MongoDB provides our organization with an easy way to use and integrate. It is extraordinary, from the new avant-garde companies to the largest ones using MongoDB.

"Perfect for data storage "
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The princip of collection is perfect for the data storage. In my case we use mongodb for the storage of training certificate. We have one collection for the distancial achievement, one for the presential achievement, one for the person... it’s really practical and easy to use !

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The language is difficult to learn at first. It’s more complicated than SQL language and it’s hard to find documentation on the internet

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

We use MongoDB for the storage of training certificate. We pass with success the last audit !

"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.

"Great NoSQL solution"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I like that JSON files can be directly added to a collection. This makes it a good choice when a lot of the data is of JSON type

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

In some cases, the performance is inferior to relational DBs (Example Postgres)

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

In my current team, it is the default database solution. Used for logging metadata in test cases.

"Mongo software optimized for query analysis"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

It is very valuable to have MongoDB through this software it allows us to have a high performance for the analysis of queries It has a large storage space for all our data, its main functionality is that it stores the data in the form of json, which is the data format standard in JavaScript, it's easy to use

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The management of MongoDB is a little complex, they should be strengthened with instructions, videos and others to have it available to support us to use this program.

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

At the time of acquiring this software we want to have as a support part manuals of instructions, videos of operation, so that it was easier to use

"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

"best one to use for a MongoDB"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

the insights are the best in this and the ability to be able to receive alerts is also great. It is really valuable to monitor and troubleshoot when in issues.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

MongoDB itself is not that great in the cloud(AWS)..its expensive, not so optimized and the list goes on.

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

To monitor the data pipilene's database performance. Reduce human error. Save time and money.

"MongoDB Cloud Manager Easy To Use"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

switching versions is very simple and smooth and it takes a very short time. I also like that I can see all of my different database servers in a very short time. A good backup strategy is a critical part of any database management system. MongoDB offers many options for backups and recovery/restore. Along with a good backup method, it is very important to have multiple replicas of the database. This helps to restore the database without having the downtime of even one second. I also found that reporting and real-time are too much useful especially to determine server problem, that helps me a lot

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

On the size of Data cost effects. Do not have store procedure application logic in the MongoDB. Slow restoring process. Sometimes for larger databases, the backup process can be very resource intensive. The backup process can increase the load on the server because of these reasons so you should run the backup process during the nights or non-peak hours.

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

We used MongoDB Cloud Manager for point-in-time restore in our system. For us, its a best continuous and online backup solution.

"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
