Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture.""Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance.""The speed of it is the most valuable feature.""It's flexible. We don't need to have a solid upstream availability failover, and everything is seamless in Atlas.""The product provides quick transaction service, high availability, and efficient scalability features.""The features that I have found most valuable include the very easy integrations. The integrations are fantastic. I have not faced any challenges from the integration standpoint.""I am impressed with the tool's integrations.""The key feature of MongoDB Atlas that has been helpful for us is the ease of deploying new databases."

"The performance of the tool is valuable.""I like that Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is easier to use and is a cost-saving solution because you won't need to hire people to run and maintain it.""It is a scalable product.""In the cloud, Exadata is more scalable. The on-prem version was limited. It wasn't that scalable because it only came in a quarter rack, half rack, and full rack. In the cloud, it scales to what you need.""Having the prediction happen in the modular format allows you to start with a lower version of Exadata and then you can keep on upgrading it as per your requirement.""One of the most valuable parts of the solution is the high availability within the system and the performance enhancement without making any changes or fine-tuning the databases.""The solution is very stable and offers great performance."

Cons
"The UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work.""The cost needs improvement. The product is good, but the cost that we paid for it is expensive, so it wasn't that valuable.""Based on its own habitat, it's not ACID compliant. If it had an ACID compliant option, it would be more useful for database administration.""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.""We had some edge cases where scalability was an issue where a node went offline, and we had to deal with that.""The UI is not currently designed in a manner to make it possible for a non-technical person or a layman to update the database easily.""The web console isn't very intuitive, especially for large data.""I am still new with it, but since I mentioned that I'm using this product for only the last six months and my experience with this product is good thus far, on a scale of one to ten, I would give MongoDB Atlas a six."

More MongoDB Atlas Cons →

"Scaling Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service can be done, but the process is a little tedious, which could be an area for improvement in the solution.""We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata.""The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible.""The customer's default choice is the on-premise version of this solution. Only when Oracle or the partners like us, can explain to customers the cloud value proposition, and if the compliance authorities allow, they can look into this cloud solution. It will take some time for Oracle to change its perception of customers' de-facto standards. Exadata used to be treated as a black box, which is not the case now. The customer is aware of what is happening inside, how the configurations have been made, and what patching has been applied. Oracle needs to market the cloud version better.""The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database.""Oracle's support could be better.""The solution's pricing could be improved.""The support must be faster."

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 price of this solution is very comparative to others on the market. There is no direct comparison between this solution and with something else because I do not see any other similar product."
  • "I think Oracle pricing is usually above average market price."
  • "The tool is not cheap, but it is not really expensive."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering.
    Top Answer:The real-time data visible within MongoDB Atlas is not accurate. If they can improve the UI that monitors real-time data. It's more impressive and more attractive. It could be more user-friendly.
    Top Answer:We can pay the licensing fee monthly. We can also choose to pay upfront for a year. The tool is not cheap, but it is not really expensive. It depends on our usage. I rate the pricing a seven to eight… more »
