We performed a comparison between Milvus 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."Milvus has good accuracy and performance."
"I like the accuracy and usability."
"The solution is well containerized, and since containerization is quick and easy for me, I can scale it up quickly."
"The best feature of Milvus was finding the closest chunk from a huge amount of data."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"I like that MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"The reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"I find the integration with other tools very easy."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation."
"I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."
"Milvus could make it simpler. Simplifying the requirements and making it more accessible. It could be more user-friendly."
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly."
"People coming from RDBMS should have the flexibility to write queries in SQL that can be converted into JSON queries."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"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."
"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 rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
