MongoDB Competitors and Alternatives 2019

What is most valuable?

* Its capability to do quick, powerful aggregations has caught my attention. * The search queries are pretty fast and mean time to get response is around 50-100/ms. * The installation is very stable.

How has it helped my organization?

We capture more than 30 million records every week in IoT NS. MongoDB has been serving us well so far. It is easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage.

What needs improvement?

Its indexing capabilities could be further improved. The libraries, e.g., Mongoose could still be improved to handle MongoDB. The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did compare Cassandra against MongoDB, but we faced a few problems while data was restoring with Cassandra and chose MongoDB to avoid such issues.
