We performed a comparison between Faiss and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, Firebird and others in Open Source Databases."The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial."
"It is convenient to use because we can do manipulations with the JSON data that we get. There are also a lot of joins and associations with MongoDB, which makes it easy to use for us."
"MongoDB has a simple data-loading interface."
"The most valuable feature is the geometric information done with GeoJSON."
"The initial setup isn't really that complex."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"The solution should have better integration."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"It has certain limitations when it comes to handling hierarchical data, enforcing relationships, and performing complex joins, which should be taken into account when designing databases for applications with intricate data requirements."
"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."
