Cons
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products.""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 cost needs improvement.""I would like a better dashboard. It could be made a bit more user friendly.""In the past, MongoDB offered more features for free, but now it's quite limited. The free version is limited, and you need to pay extra to fully utilize it. The pricing could be improved.""There are some features that could be useful for the customers I work with, which are related to migration from on-prem to the cloud.""The initial setup is not too difficult but can be somewhat tricky.""The speed when combining two documents is concerning."

More MongoDB Atlas Cons →

"The solution is not very stable.""Its application development could be enhanced to fully utilize its features.""The initial setup could improve.""I have had a hard time finding some documentation. There should provide easier accessible documentation for Oracle Database as a Service.""The solution's pricing could be less expensive.""I would like to see improvements in the license cost. The solution is subscription-based for PaaS services. You need to buy your own authorized license.""The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great.""It is very hard to support Oracle Database."

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."
