"I use MongoDB to analyze data that my company has only used for processing in the past."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I like the simplicity of use through applications like Compass and Studio 3T, and the ability to access and manipulate data that SQL based systems cannot do well.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

There is a steep learning curve on certain functionalities ($facet) and the use of other functions ($group and $count) are so slow within MongoDB's environment as to make them problematic for scaling.

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

We are in the exploratory phase of figuring out ways to productise the data that we have been accruing on our industry over a long period of time.

"MongoDB Best of both worlds - unstructured data with structured query language."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Flexibility and Performance of MongoDB. Ease of use and low bar to entry.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

There is not much to dislike, but if i have to pick one thing then that would be the amount of time I have to key in the aggregation query to get it right. Learnt today that I can break it into smaller pieces and reduce the amount of retyping.

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

IoT - Home Automation. High performance when recording telemetry data. Good aggregation mechanisms to aggregate data over multiple devices.

"No sql Database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Mongodb does not have primary Key and foreign key concept which makes it better than SQL database. It has relationship between tables and which can be related easily. It has npm packages to integrate to Nodejs server. It has mongodb driver npm package to access all native methods It has packages for auto-populate and auto-delete(soft delete)

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

It is not easy to sort the result that is json according to the front-end developer. It does not use elastic search. Validating the sub-schema is hard. It is not easy to join two tables (map-reduce)

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

Faster database operations. Easy to write database queries via NPM packages. Easy to relate tables that is establish relationship between tables.

What do you like best about MongoDB?

The best things in MongoDB is the schema-less db - it helps move forward rapidly in prototypes.

The query language is really hard to use, I would like it to be easier to query nested structures (such deep arrays or deep properties), I want to it to be intitutive like sql for data exploration.

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

The problems I am trying to solve are simple CRUD for storing metadata on instances.

So far after using it for a few months, I don't see any negative things at the moment.

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

"Flexible, automatable storage layer"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Pluggable storage engine API, elections and automatic failover. Easy to do rolling upgrades. Flexible workloads -- runs write heavy, read heavy, or mixed workloads. Online indexing, background indexing on secondaries and primaries. Lovely data interface layer.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Mongo is a young db. Mmap is very wasteful with space, QA process is leaky. Sharding has some serious fundamental technical problems. The marketing hype exceeds execution on occasion.

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

Powering hundreds of thousands of the world's mobile apps. We run hundreds of thousands of workloads on MongoDB, as well as logging and other backend services.
