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."The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"I used Faiss as a basic database."
"MongoDB is simpler to learn and implement than traditional SQL solutions like MySQL."
"The reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"The aggregation framework is very powerful when elaborating on data."
"We can define security rules at the database level or the cluster level to grant or deny access to particular users."
"It's easy to add and remove things in MongoDB. You can alter the tables. MongoDB is faster at reading, slower at writings."
"It is easy to set up."
"It would be beneficial if I could set a parameter and see different query mechanisms being run."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"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."
"It would be good to have scalability for clusters. For example, if we have three clusters, we should be able to increase to five clusters if required. I am not sure if such a feature is currently there. I hope there is good documentation for this."
"It isn't easy to recognize entities with MongoDB."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
"I'd like to see an ID generator. It's very technical but I don't think it has one, so we have to go to great lengths to work around that."
"It should have GUI for managing clusters. MongoDB needs a more powerful GUI to manage clusters and make switchovers. Currently, there is no good, free tool to check the replication to find out if there is a gap."
