As an operations engineer, I've been please with ease of deployment and reliability of the system; furthermore, support has always been responsive when issues or questions come up.

"MongoDB 3.4 Review!"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

My top 3 favourite features 1. Views 2. Linearizable reads 3. Network compression 4. Chunk balancing parallelism (did I mention 3 features only?)

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Shard zoning. This is merely a rebranding of shard tagging. It should not be counted as a new feature!

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

Allow our database to be compliance with the application response time. Considering our dataset, it is quite a feat!

"Flexible, Fast, Easy to Setup"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The Schemaless design makes rapid prototyping and iteration incredibly easy. The free tier platforms make it a great option for trying out and can take you incredibly far though there are great options/support provided for Enterprise services. For programmers, there are many well-maintained libraries for wrapping around the API.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Though the database itself is fantastic, the third party tools to manage DBs are only ok. They are improving, but tools like 3T and Robomongo don't take complete advantage of the schemaless model.

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

Data backups, restoring instances, and fast-paced products are all made easier with Mongo.

"Easy to work with..."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Mongo was extremely easy to get started with. We found lots of resources to get up and running (from both Mongo and 3rd parties) but none were really necessary. The performance for our relatively small (~20GB) dataset is fine. There are a number of cloud services that provide hosted solutions.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The fact that it was easy to set up also meant we left lots of default settings for way too long. Coming from a RDBMS world, it was tough to fully understand and apply the aggregation framework that MongoDB uses. Additionally, being a NoSQL DB, not having a schema for our data has burned us many times. For example, before we hardened our code, our dates were stored as Date objects, numbers, Strings, and nulls.

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

We are using MongoDB for our primary storage medium. It is easy to use, performant enough for our needs, and easy to find help and support for.

"Powerful NoSQL DB"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDb is a powerful NoSQL DB and has become very performant with the addition of the WiredTiger storage engine. MongoDB is easy to setup and easy to work with in a variety of languages. Editing data is easy, since it is essentially modifying JSON.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Joining data can be a bit hairy, so you have to make sure MongoDB is actually the correct solution for your use case. Querying can sometimes be confusing at first when wanting do more than a simple field match.

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

We use MongoDB collections for storing a variety of content data that powers our website. An object can be a specific product or an article, or configuration data.
