We performed a comparison between Faiss and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I used Faiss as a basic database."
"The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"The installation is very stable."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"The Dynamic Application is a valuable feature."
"The solution's most important aspect is its seamless database."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good object retrieval feature."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"It would be beneficial if I could set a parameter and see different query mechanisms being run."
"We'd like technical support to respond faster to queries."
"It could be much more flexible like SequoiaDB. I would like to see more flexibility in the next release, especially when working with Microsoft Windows. A lot of people struggle with MongoDB because of their Windows versions. But Linux is faultless and mostly runs nicely."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"MongoDB is a very useful and convenient choice, but sometimes for more complex projects, there are certain niche requirements that appear, so using a different tool could be beneficial. It raises the complexity of the architecture, but it could be beneficial to the world, the features, the ease of the features which are being implemented."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"I would like to see the scalability and security improved."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
