We are actually taking MongoDB as serious database tech. It has visible benefits, actually, in terms of price of ownership if you compare it to, for example, Oracle. When we have some processes which really don't need Oracle, we use MongoDB as the first option to see if it wouldn't be cheaper to leverage.

The solution is able to handle large data. 

The solution does not hold data in tabular format like SQL does but rather clusters data so that it can link on a large scale.

Software Developer at Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba

MongoDB is very stable, and, by that I mean, amazingly stable. Using javascript was the key to have a wide range of functionalities based on its syntax and grammar. The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries. The fact a developer builds some functions and can run through the whole cluster, actually and efficiently using all the resources available, is a great advantage. It's given the developers a very robust path to building whatever procedures they need. MongoDB is very, very stable.

The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can.

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.

It facilitates the generation of heatmaps for graphical data analysis. This can be valuable for visualizing patterns and trends in data. While other databases like Cassandra may also serve this purpose, MongoDB stands out for its simplicity in handling complex queries and graphical data representation.

The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the NoSQL database. In a SQL database, we need to join data together with a unique ID amongst other things, but in MongoDB, it's not required. We can directly receive all the information. The performance is very good. Additionally, they have frequent updates.

Feature-wise, I like how MongoDB stores attachments because it allows me to store the results of the attachment and pull them up whenever needed instead of having to generate them every time. I can save those results as PDFs and other formats rather than just saving the data and then having to regenerate it. This approach enables me to analyze the attachments and research existing data, making it easier to retrieve information when needed. Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data.

Team Lead at RBS Securities

The most valuable feature is that we don't need a schema to store the data.

The security is very good. Cybersecurity, authentication, authorization, and server certifications are all valuable features. We can define security rules at the database level or the cluster level to grant or deny access to particular users.

This is a highly available architecture. If you are using a three-node cluster and one of these goes down then either of the secondary nodes will become a priority to eliminate downtime from the application's perspective.

The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that. For example, in our online shopping product, different products have different features and there is no structure for all of the data.

The usability is good.

Compared to a relational database, the performance is good.

LourensWalters - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Scientist at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

One feature that we found most valuable is that it is completely open source - this was majorly important. Because we worked for a nongovernmental organization we had to work with only open source tools. So that was a big selling point for MongoDB. We also needed a document-based DB to build this FHIR application on top of, MongoDB offers. 

Another major selling point was that they're massively scalable. The fact that unlike relational databases, MongoDB allows a lot more scalability and it was more suited for the type of data that we were storing, which was semi-structured healthcare data. It provided very nicely for the standards that we were working - FHIR - which could be interfaced with JSON and Mongo. It had very good JSON capability and storage. Overall, it was a combination of what we were trying to store and the scalability in terms of being able to store a lot of this information over time.

MongoDB is extremely developer-friendly because when you are starting, there is very little time needed upfront in terms of planning. Whenever a developer wants to build a certain feature, they simply define a key and a value and that's it.

It is very easy to create an index on a field that you want to have searchable.

All of the documents are stored in JSON format, which gives developers a lot of flexibility.

MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases. The files are stored in XML format, which is a stable format. 

MongoDB is also great for managing logs.

Databases provide the data and any software can access those databases as per the access protocol — the database itself provides the data.

You can have the same database in multiple geographic locations. You can update it from different locations and the other locations also get updated. In that way, it is a good product. Very good.
