The integration went well and was lightweight
What is our primary use case?
It is one of the main database back-ends for one of our products in the company.Pros and Cons
- "It has a flexible integration with our easy API."
- "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."
What other advice do I have?
Look at what MongoDB can do for you in terms of database back-end persistence. I would recommend to look at this first before you start looking at other solutions. My company is interested in putting out products that are reliable for our customers, which we can monitor easily. We also want them to be easy to install and deploy, which is why I am happy with this one. We are running this on an AWS instance. We use RADIUS, but I don't know if it is integrated with this product. We also use Python on the back-end, which is integrated with MongoDB.

It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data
What is our primary use case?
We use it for all of our temporary data, anything which is not warehoused. It works with AWS Lamda and EC2.Pros and Cons
- "It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
- "We had some bad trainers when we first came onboard and would rate them fairly low. They did not seem staffed properly to fulfill the training services that they offered."
What other advice do I have?
I have been happy with the service. Everything is good. Though, nothing stands out to me as exceptional. I would encourage someone to look at DynamoDB, even though I am fine with MongoDB. If you are in a fully integrated into the AWS environment, you might want to stick with Amazon Web Services rather than a third-party. We use it as a service, so we don't configure anything.

Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance
What is our primary use case?
* High availability * Resource recoveryPros and Cons
- "Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance."
- "The cost needs improvement. The product is good, but the cost that we paid for it is expensive, so it wasn't that valuable."
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend the product. I have only used the AWS version.

You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things
What is our primary use case?
Any business types where we need instructional data.Pros and Cons
- "You can start quickly on projects which allow you to store many things."
- "I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
- "Going forward, we would like to have pure AWS Cloud (native) storage instead regular storage on the AWS integration side."
What other advice do I have?
We are always integrating this product with our business applications because it is a database. Without our applications, the product doesn't make sense. The integration is quite straightforward, because of the consistences within MongoDB, you can find where to connect it. I have used both the AWS and the on-premise versions. The AWS integration allows you to go faster in terms of deployment and the tooling in the cloud also allows you to go faster.Engineerd5da

Our queries are quicker with it. It is also very easy to use.
What is our primary use case?
We use it for hosting data on the cloud.Pros and Cons
- "It enables us to get work done quickly and get to our data."
- "The import and export process needs improvement, i.e., getting in and out. Moving data from other databases into MongoDB, along with indexing, was challenging."
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend it. It is better than the legacy databases, and it is very good with the cloud. We integrated it with TestRail and JIRA. Everything is on cloud. It integrates well, and we are happy with it.
Rogelio Guillen
Senior QA Engineer at SendGrid
It was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it
What is our primary use case?
I used it for testing.Pros and Cons
- "As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
- "The UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work."
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend MongoDB. I would like to bring in MongoDB at my new company, though I doubt it will happen.

Senior Application Developer at Albert Einstein Healthcare Network
It is a user-friendly and easy product to use
What is our primary use case?
We use it for patient data.Pros and Cons
- "Our databases used to be in-house. Now, they are in the cloud with MongoDB and everything is much easier."
- "The speed of it is the most valuable feature."
- "I would like a better dashboard. It could be made a bit more user friendly."
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend MongoDB. The integration and configuration of the product on the AWS environment is fine. We use the AWS version of this product. We also use WebEx, and it works well.Product Categories
