It's flexible and easily accessible across multiple locations, but the upgrade process is complicated
Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work. They're transforming their host stack to increase cloud readiness and edge compute capability. HPE is transitioning from a standard data-driven approach to one powered by AI analytics. That's something they have released very recently. I haven't tried that, but it will probably make things easier. The ability to adapt Ezmeral to the public cloud is probably missing. I've heard that they're getting leaner. However, it doesn't have a clear managed services offering for you if you want to deploy this stack on the cloud. That's a problem. This probably won't meet your needs if you require consistency across on-prem and the cloud. It's not Ezmeral's fault. None of the products would fit the bill. Cloud offerings are biased towards their own implementation. It's a general issue on most big data platforms. They're already working towards that, but it hasn't been released.

Stable and reliable solution that upgrades the IT environment
Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster There are some problems with bugs appearing in sharding when the data is too high. MongoDB also needs to update and be more flexible to match up to more mature products like Oracle or SQL.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions. The previous solution that we used did not have unified analytics like the runtime or the analog."
"I like the administration part."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"One of the first things I noticed when I had my first experience with MongoDB was how easy it was to use. I was expecting more difficulties or at least some challenges, but it was very, very easy to use. It's great technology, performs well, and is very convenient."
"We haven't had any issues with stability."
"The Dynamic Application is a valuable feature."
"Sharding is an excellent feature of MongoDB."
"It stores historical data with ease. For example, if you are a healthcare member, then you will have multiple records of visits to the doctors. To store such data in Oracle Database, you have to create many records. You might also have duplication problems because your records are going in again and again, because of which the data warehouse and the maintenance cost will be huge. MongoDB is comparatively lightweight. It is a JSON extract. Once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want. It is easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB. It is also easier to set it up as compared to other solutions. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is a document DB in which you can store documents that you created in BSON. It is pretty fast in response. It is faster than relational databases because it does not define any primary keys, secondary keys, tertiary keys, and all those kinds of things."
"It facilitates the generation of heatmaps for graphical data analysis."
 

Cons

"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work."
"The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"Our program developer finds it to be a little unstable, development-wise."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need for my company to pay for the licensing costs of the solution."
"The tool's price is cheap and based on a usage basis. The solution's licensing costs are yearly and there are no extra costs."
"HPE is flexible with you if you are an existing customer. They offer different models that might be beneficial for your organization. It all depends on how you negotiate."
"I only used the open-source version."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It's a community edition, so we do not pay anything."
