MongoDB Initial Setup
The setup is one click and very simple. Installation only takes a couple of minutes. I rate setup a nine out of ten.
View full review »The setup is very easy.
View full review »The first time we deployed the solution was actually a limited implementation to support the proof of concept. When we had some objectives when it came to validating how fast we were able to prepare Mongo at AWS, it was quite simple.
The second part was actually to handle the initial training of people for operation and administration. Now we actually have some results which prove that the MongoDB way is a positive way and this is what we ended up using for other scenarios.
I would say that if you would were looking for 100% of the data in the cloud, MongoDB would currently be at 50%.
The initial proof of concept was scheduled for three months.

The setup is pretty easy if you have some idea of how it works. It can feel a bit tough if you don't have knowledge about the database.
View full review »The product's initial setup phase was quite easy, but for some use cases, it was a bit difficult.
The solution is deployed on the private cloud services offered by AWS.
The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours. The product's initial deployment phase can be taken care of in an hour, and if any further deployments are required after that, it takes less than an hour.
Six to seven engineers are required to take care of the deployment and maintenance phases of the solution.
The initial setup of MongoDB is a little complex. The setup was not complex but migrating the data from the existing resources to MongoDB was tough because we had to do some migration. If there was a better migration tool it would help.

The initial setup for MongoDB is basic. It's not complex, but I didn't deploy MongoDB directly into AWS. I used AWS to access the database.

The initial setup of MongoDB was easy for me, and I found the community support to be very helpful. I rate the initial setup process a nine out of ten. The deployment process was also quick and only took a day or less. All that was required was to install the solution, which didn't take much time. I deployed the solution on my own, and it doesn't require any maintenance. As a friend and I only use it, it is for personal use only.

The initial setup is straightforward. Even building the cluster and so on isn't a problem. But you have to know what to do because it's a bit different from relational databases. It only takes a couple of hours and not more than that. Once you have the right servers, firewalls, ports open, and so on, you're good to go.
One or two people are enough to maintain this database. But you'll need more people like programmers for the digital part of the application that you have to develop.

Team Lead at RBS Securities
The initial setup is not very complex. We used the MongoDB resources to understand how to set it up on a Linux server, and after that, we prepared our own document that explains how to install it. Now it is quite straightforward, although if you are going with a more granular level of configuration, such as enabling other parameters on the cluster, then it would be different. I would say that set up would be a little more difficult, but not much. It's very simple using the MongoDB Ops Manager.

We have it deployed on the cloud with a container.
It is not a complex setup. It is easy to use. You just compose a file and deploy it from there.
We have one DevOps team that can handle deployment tasks there are three to five people on it.

I would rate the initial setup a six, where one is for easy and ten is for complex. It is a little complex. It's more complex when we think about deploying MongoDB with the shopping feature. But setting up MongoDB without consideration of shopping would be easy.

The initial setup is not so complex when we are talking about on-prem solutions. It's an easy initial setup. We are fine with that.
I was surprised, however, by the lack of support offered during implementation. You are left to your own devices. There isn't much guidance - especially on so complex a transformation.

So setting it up, getting up and running, pumping data into it, and actually looking and querying the data was super simple. We were up and running within an hour. We could literally install and start ingesting information into it from the word go. It was very simple to set up and to have tools to actually query and pump objects into it.

I was not a part of the installation process. It was already installed when I joined the company or started working with it. So, I don't have much idea about it, but when we install it locally, there is not a lot to do with it. The control that we get from the command prompt of MongoDB makes it easy to use and very convenient.

View full review »I use Kubernetes. These are management tools where you can select which items you'd like to install first and you basically just provide what kind of features you want to be activated and how many nodes you want to be activated in the database. I would install it as part of a Kubernetes cluster and it's pretty straightforward because the chart, as its called, is managed by and used by thousands of people so I don't need to know exactly how to set up every single bit of it.
It's also all very automated, which makes it easy. In fact, I use it a lot in teaching as well because it's very easy to set up.
