"Best All Purpose Database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Likes everything about it. Documents, Schema Agnostic, Query Language, Powerful Schema design Patterns, Transactions, Change-Streams , so full packed with feature you can not imagine with any other database present today

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

I don't dislike it. I love it. It's so flexible that people often misuse it and think MongoDB is wrong, but it's a double edge sword. It would help if you were very careful while using it.

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

It's the central database in 99 percent of our projects. Best-in-class availability, scalability, easy-to-understand query language, simple concepts, robust, performance

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

I have used MongoDB for a project to develop an application, and it made it easy for us to connect mongo through the MAC terminal and directly retrieve the database and perform operations. I have got used to using mongo through my terminal, and I feel it's the best I like.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The front-end application for the project, it does not have many options inbuilt with in the MongoDB application and this makes it hard and lengthy to connect with other applications.

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

My experience with mongo DB is limited to a course and two projects I have worked on it. One project was good an successfully done, but other one had problems, so essentially it depends on what kind of project you are working on MongoDB

"Best IDE MongoDB tool and free for use"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

This MongoDB tool has the best UI, We can connect multiple databases at the same time with this tool. We can write queries like find, update and delete. This tool has inbuild three views that help you to monitor your data.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

I don't find any downside currently. I recommend this tool to every developer.

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

We can write direct queries for searching, sorting and updating the data. MongoDB displays this data in a very structured format. We can download all data as CSV from the collection which is the best function.

"Robust, Fast, and Easy to Use NoSQL Engine"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB is a fast, document-based database that provides us with most data needs. We are using MongoDB as our primary database for our application, and it proved to be very fast, robust, and very easy to use. The schema-less methodology allows us to change schema as needed without worrying about past changes. The "aggregate framework" is a very good solution for building complex, yet easy to understand, queries.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

As with most NoSQL databases, MongoDB does not allow for cross-table JOINs. Hence, we need to structure our data accordingly and use solutions such as the aggregate framework in order to execute complex queries.

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

We are using MongoDB as our central and primary database for our application. Using this database allows us to perform fast inserts and updates without worrying about table and page locks.

"Powerful and perfect for growing Company."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

It is very easy to use with python/javascript language. I have worked for many years with MongoDB. It handles requests pretty well. Writing queries and help from UI you can easily get your desired data. It is also fast when used with indexing. Setting up in the cloud is also easy. Taking a dump and restoring, I am so grateful for how easy.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Our organization uses MongoDB as the database for all our backend services. There was one issue I faced with connections using pympngo. It was getting disconnected for every consecutive call. We solved it but it took a while to figure it out.

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

MongoDB solves the need for a No-SQL database at the backend. It is quite developing fast pace because it is schema-less and Data replication is also fast and easy.

"Best and easy to use Database for Developers"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB makes use of a database that has a superb reputation in order to accomplish the lightning-fast speed, unlimited scalability, and rock-solid reliability that it boasts. Since we've had such amazing results with MongoDB, we've chosen to adopt it across the rest of our firm since it's so speedy, dependable, and easy to use. This decision was made because of our tremendous success with MongoDB. In spite of its lack of complexity, it is used in a productive manner by Python and JavaScript, two of the most widely used programming languages. Learning how to use the system is made much simpler by the presence of excellent documentation and first support. In addition, this endeavor enjoys the support of a significant portion of the community. It is compatible with almost any language that is currently used in software development.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

This is the best option for a single user doing a few simple tasks, but it becomes pricey if you need a lot of data storage or if you want to run many clusters at once. The high cost prevents me from utilizing the product often and is the single biggest barrier for me to overcome. However, it has a major drawback in that it relies heavily on RAM, which is inefficient. Creating a query to search for particular data may also be challenging, depending on the complexity of the database.

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

Our company makes use of MongoDB for the storage of data, the retrieval of data, and even the alteration of data in its most fundamental forms. Because the data is stored in the cloud, administration of the storage space is made easier, and the speed with which information can be retrieved is increased. As a result, the platform is well suited for joint endeavors and widespread adoption. As a direct consequence of this, our organization has seen a significant increase in its profits as a direct result of making use of it.

"MongoDB and noSQL"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB cloud is a very easy to use NoSQL environment where you can set up your no SQL database instances easily and quickly without installing software in your local machine.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

MongoDB cloud has all the tools you want in no SQL environment but the monthly cost is somewhat high for a small project but it would be a problem if you are opt-in to the local environment.

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

We are a commercial software development firm for all our no SQL database solutions we use MongoDB. For some application development, we use MongoDB cloud for some free of charges software solutions we use locally hosted MongoDB servers.

"Best No Sql Db still out there"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I am using MongoDb for the last 3 years and I can say without a doubt that it's the best DB out there in the NoSql marketplace. Simply because of its Flexible document schemas, easy deployments/managements, and more data agnostic environment, major advantages over RDBMS DBS such as Postgres. For example, the ability to use an Array of Foreign keys is an essential part of the modern web apps but these things are not supported by the Postgres DB. Also the distributed filesystem grid fs is also one of the robust things out there for story/retrieving binary files efficiently which makes MongoDB far more advanced than its subordinates.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The DB side schema enforcement and type enforcement at the DB level is still a plus point and a primary reason why people still use Postgres over MongoDb. Additionally, the internal foreign key mapping as compared to just a string filed holding ids of foreign documents in DB is a thing I dislike.

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

Our business is a business that generates a lot of dynamic data from hardware sensors and we wanted a database that can be easily plugged and when adding new fields or in our case, new sensors the previous data with legacy documents still work and are not affected. Thus we opted for a no SQL approach through MongoDB and it turned out to be a perfect data agnostic, secure and reliable one.

"MongoDB -My first choice noSQL DB"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The document-based Db can handle unstructured data. It is very easy to blend with NodeJS. I am very interested in MongoDB as my first choice DB

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Nothing.They could improve the aggregate framework to handle JOIN much simpler.

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

In the last project, the data we have to store is unstructured and need to change the schema every time.By using MongoDB it helps in scaling.

"The Best Database system available on the Intenet right now, Simple, Scalable, Versatile."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Ease of Use - Effortless to set up and use; the official documentation is to the point and always updated. Simple Learning Curve - It's straightforward to learn.To get started, It won't take more than 2-3 days. Easy to Migrate - As it's NoSQL, you can migrate from any system to MongoDB without many problems. Community Support - As it has been there for more than half of a decade, the community support is amazing. Scalability - MongoDB is built for big applications, so load balancing, sharding, etc many powerful features it possesses that make it super scalable.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

I have been using MongoDB for the last four years and haven't faced any significant issues. And whatever hurdles I met were resolved by the experts or community. So No, I don't have anything to dislike about MongoDB.

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

I work in the Agritech Industry of India, where we deal with a massive amount of real-time weather data. So following are the benefits I have realized from this - 1. Almost zero latency DB operations 2. Having a geographically local instance made sure that data was available to the stakeholders without any delay. 3. While we have been getting a newer user base, and we need scaling, we used both inbuilt query optimizer and vertical scaling.

"Very fast processing noSQL database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Mongodb is very fast and perform it's duty as expected any nosql database. Here table is known as a collection and no need to implicity tell the datatype of each variable. It can take automatically because it save as records and all data is store as a document. If is difficult to make sync with relational and non relational database as both have different schema.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Couldnt find anything which I dislike about mongodb it's super fast and easy to use.
