Pros
"MongoDB Atlas is a platform as a service and it has proven to be particularly valuable due to its self-managing nature. This has allowed us to minimize the amount of time and effort required to manage it, as it effectively manages itself. Additionally, it is a complete solution when looking at its features.""The stability and performance are great. The high availability feature is great. Moreover, I am happy with the automated backup and restore functionality.""The dynamic structures are the most valuable.""Object-based data storing capability and managing non-structured data capability are the most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas.""The cloud-based nature of this solution makes it flexible and scalable.""It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data.""The initial setup of MongoDB Atlas is straightforward...It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture."

Cons
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products.""One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user.""The speed when combining two documents is concerning.""The biggest challenge we all have is an application layer level. One node is sitting in the APAC region, another node is sitting in the US and UK region. The seamless replication has to be lightning fast, but we haven't tested the scalability yet.""We need improved query performance.""During the configuration, we did some migrations where we had to reindex about 70,000 indexes, which took around an hour. They should improve this and optimize the indexing.""The UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work.""MongoDB Atlas should add more APIs in their Terraform module because sometimes I find it difficult to find the resources in their Terraform model."

More MongoDB Atlas Cons →

"The initial setup is complex. This is not a really easy solution. It is very large, so it's hard to install, but it's not impossible.""Pricing for Oracle Database as a Service could be cheaper, so this is an area for improvement.""The solution is not very stable.""The initial setup could improve.""The interface can be difficult and there may be so many features that users and even vendors are unaware that they exist.""Debugging this solution is challenging.""Oracle Database as a Service is difficult to set up. They should make it easier.""Some of the technical features could be improved. They have a problem with some of the object types. I think this is one of the issues which is needed to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing and licensing is great."
  • "The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
  • "In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
  • "It is too expensive. They need to work on this."
  • "The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
  • "Pricing could always be better."
  • "We're currently using the Atlas for the night and don't require a license. However, it can be a problem if you want to use their enterprise environment. Then you need to purchase the license."
  • "The solution is expensive overall. It does not require a license but if you want the support then you will need to purchase the license. They use a pay-as-you-go model and you are able to receive some discounts by making longer usage commitments."
  • More MongoDB Atlas Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors."
  • "There should be a standard way to license the database in a virtual environment (e.g. VMware) and there should be a low-end version (like Standard Edition One) again."
  • "The price depends on the solution you choose: standard, enterprise, or high performance. For example, enterprise can start between 0.4 an hour up to 1,800. Additional fees also depends on what package you choose. Your feels will be different if you choose the standard, enterprise, high performance, or extreme package. You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases."
  • "The pricing may seem expensive, but the value corresponds to the quality of the product."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive."
  • "The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."
  • "I do not know firsthand about the price of Oracle Database as a Service, but it is known that Oracle solutions tend to be priced higher than competitors."
  • "For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
