We performed a comparison between Milvus and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."The best feature of Milvus was finding the closest chunk from a huge amount of data."
"The solution is well containerized, and since containerization is quick and easy for me, I can scale it up quickly."
"Milvus has good accuracy and performance."
"It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"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."
"The installation is very easy to do and understand."
"The solution has good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data."
"One of the most valuable features of MongoDB is it is Its open source."
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly."
"I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."
"Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation."
"The scalability of the solution has room for improvement."
"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."
"The MongoDB documentation can be a little complicated sometimes."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"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."
"It isn't easy to recognize entities with MongoDB."
"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
