Sr. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome NoSQL database" June 22, 2020 5.0 MongoDB provides most of the features of SQL databases, if not more, like aggregation, clustering, replication, compound indexes etc. Once configured properly, it lets you quickly start saving and fetching data very easily and efficiently. Pros Mongo comes as an alternative to SQL databases and provides vast number of features and flexibilty as compared to SQL databases. It can be used for storing huge amounts of data as JSONs and it provides seamless integration with tech stack using Node.js. Cons Even though Mongo allows you to build your application without a rigid schema, it still needs to be configured and architectured properly to make sure the performance is up to the mark when data size starts increasing.

Studente Universitario Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Database solido" July 6, 2023 5.0 Utilizzato per un progetto universitario, MongoDB rappresenta un'ottima alternativa per software competitor. Abbastanza semplice creare un cluster per creare il db del tuo sito internet. Consigliato per chi ha bisogno di un cluster anche per piccoli progetti. Consigliato Pros Semplice creare un cluster, molto intuitivo Cons A volte non funzionava correttamente il server Review Source Heshani H. Software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fastest leap In database management" September 26, 2019 5.0 I use mongo with our applications. For any set of data, this is the best database. Pros Really speedy and requires less memory. We can create collections without a definite number of rows and columns to come. We can add data without restrictions It gives a JSON output which is really easy to work with Easy to add , edit and remove data If a certain section has more than one data, we can insert them as sub arrays, and it makes the developments so flexible. Cons The free version allows limited memory so that we have to upgrade it to insert unlimited data. Other than that this is the best. Switched from [MySQL](https://www.capterra.com/p/11482/MySQL/) We had to move as it takes very few memory and it is really fast. Also for data in a certain collection there are no limitations like fixed number is rows or columns. So that we can freely use it as we wish. Review Source Matthew B. Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convenient data store" September 23, 2021 5.0 It is my database of choice because of speed and non-blocking read and writes when used in conjunction with Node.js. Pros I enjoy using this data store because of how quick I can create models and begin using them within my code. The speed of development of applications is dramatically reduced because data can be consumed as soon as it is retrieved without writing much translation code. Cons I don't like the complexity of the setup. If you need to do advanced clustering it is challenging to setup and configure. Switched from [MySQL](https://www.capterra.com/p/11482/MySQL/) Newer technologies and newer stack. Review Source Florian B.

Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My favourite db" May 16, 2023 5.0 Mongo db was my first noSql database that I used to learn about noSql concepts. I think this is a good database for the new users. Pros Mongo db supports complex data structures and data models. This is highly scalable and highly available database that supports automatic data replication. Mongo db is mainly used in applications like e-commerce platforms that generate huge and complex data models. Mongo db supports indexing and aggregation capabilities. Cons This consume lots of resources like memory and disk space.

Cons As such nothing but its bit heavy in size and consume more memory. Review Source PS Preet S. Senior Software Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Leading NoSQL database provider" February 26, 2024 5.0 It has been a great experience to learn and implement mongoDB as a NoSQL database. The bulk operations and aggregations are quite useful features at times. Pros provides a good scalability and flexibility to application development with NoSQL while still offering the efficiency. Cons It needs a fair amount to learning before you start with the implementation. Review Source Cheshan S. Former Software Quality Assurance Engineer Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best NoSQL database for light weight project" December 18, 2018 4.0 Pros I used MongoDb for my MEAN stack project which was a project management application.it is very easy to define datatypes and data fields in monodb with just a few line of codes.we actualy don't need to create data tables as in SQL.mongoDb will handle all that for us and another is with mongoDB there is no down times to update our databses because mongoDB will not requre script updates.that was very helpful in my roject because the application has to run all the time and collecting huge amount of data and also handling lot of concurrent users.so i think you need to try this mongoDb at least onece. Cons main cons whcich i was facing during my projects was there are no JOIN operations with mongoDb like in SQL.so i had to handle some application data retrivel process handle with whole dffertent qury.also i had some issues with concurent transation with my databse when application is in load test and performance testing levels.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Playing with data in a easier way for CRUD operation Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Playing with data in a easier way for CRUD operation" June 18, 2020 5.0 Overall it is best as you can use the software with large database and unstructured data without any issues.It is schema- less database. Pros I am using mongodb with CRUD (create,read,update, delete) operation in my projects for doing modification with data and insertion.It is useful when you have instructed data and data size is very large,you can easily go with mongodb .It is very easy to install and setup if you are new to it.The query is very simple and easy to understand. Cons When you want to merge any two documents it is difficult as we can't used the join thing here.There is one default transaction support which we need to handle ourself. Review Source RJ Rehan J. Software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My first NoSQL experience" May 26, 2023 5.0 I studied about NoSQL databases few years ago and this was the first database that I used to integrate with an application. Pros Mongo db is a document oriented database and we can store unstructured data like json data as documents in the db. Syntax is not that difficult to learn and we can write powerful queries to retrieve data. This make sure the data is available even in a scenario like network failure. Even though we are dealing with huge amount of data, still the database performance is high. Cons The only concern I saw was that the database highly rely on the RAM. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MongoDB database" March 31, 2021 5.0 I use MongoDB for the last 6 years. I wasn't sure that MySQL could handle large data volumes and decided to use MongoDB for projects where we have more that 50M records in the table. Pros 1\. MongoDB faster than relational database. 2. We can store any type of data in the document. 3. Can be used for Big Data. Cons No way to join another collection (table). It is very difficult to crate any large application without using joins. Because of that I had to use relational database and MongoDB together. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Computer Hardware Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My viewpoint on MongoDB" February 3, 2022 5.0 It is very much fast and agile in nature. Pros It is very very much easy to use. It also manages multi server clusters. It has all the feature for documentations. I will definitely recommend everyone to use.

Frontend Developer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Non-Relational Database for developers" May 12, 2018 5.0 Pros I use MongoDB.It's high-performing for simple queries.And it is flexibility - I can add new columns or fields on MongoDB without affecting existing rows or application performance.This database systems can be expanded horizontally. Thousands of servers can operate as a cluster and can handle very large data.The database doesn't require a database administrator. I prefer to use MongoDB in my projects. Indeed, it is worth the use of MongoDB. Cons This gives you the flexibility to change your data schema without modifying any of your existing data. Sharding support-the feature of sharing large-scale data among servers is also one of the surplus values that distinguishes MongoDB from similar ones. If you want speedy db use MongoDB.

Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The NoSQL database that just works and scales better" May 8, 2021 5.0 Being easier to setup, MongoDB has been helping to quickly prototype and build applications Pros MongoDB is very easy to setup on most platforms, it also runs fast, I have it as a database for different applications. Using it with MongoDB Atlas gives you a good managed database as a service at a cheap price but it also works great when it is self hosted. Cons If you are coming from a SQL background then it might take a while to understand the concept of the document based instead of tabular relational database. unlike SQL databases there is no support for transactions Review Source Luis Enrique A. Editor Newspapers Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Secure data storage with NoSQL" October 19, 2018 5.0 Pros It is a very easy to use software with a good storage, offering intuitive tools to allow to store data in a secure way while the developer chooses a key that will be the access key. It is simply perfect for our company and the opportunity to store data in order to avoid any misplacement of them. It has a good balance of them and you can make inquiries with java Script. Cons Mongo DB can present problems after a standard of 100 GB, it tends to paralyze and this can be a bit complicated.

It has a good balance of them and you can make inquiries with java Script. Review Source MS Madhusudan S. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best database for any type of quick action or database migration" February 21, 2023 5.0 The requirement for a No-SQL database in the backend is met by MongoDB. Due to the lack of a schema and the quick and simple data replication, it is evolving rather quickly. Pros Interesting aspects are speed and adaptability. You can start storing data without creating collections, and you can have extremely deep structures with the ability to query in the inner structures. The upsert query function, in my opinion, is Mongodb's best feature. Mongodb's main strengths are speed and good performance. Cons On Linux computers, local setup is difficult. Moreover, sharding and clustering setup is difficult. In mongodb, joining tables using lookups is likewise a challenging topic. Review Source VS Vinicius S. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review for MongoDB" April 10, 2022 5.0 MongoDB is great for document-based storage on cloud environments. Pros Easy to use, learn and find support documentation. Fully cloud-based database. Cons Limit size for document and no transaction support.

And if you use MongoDB Compass, the way in how you visualise and operate your data its very more easy, with just a few clicks to make all that you wanna to do, from a simple query to a migration of database. Pros That i really like about this its the high quality documentation for everything that you wanna do, it has tutorials for a lot of platforms and programming languages, with detailed explanations and a lot of forums where people can help you. Cons That i like least its the difficult to make the first configurations with the platform where you are working, you need to use very large connections strings with a lot of parameters where its easy make a typing error like add one space more or confuse between lowercase and capital letter in some parameters Alternatives considered [Microsoft SQL Server](https://www.capterra.com/p/1417/SQL-Server/)[MariaDB](https://www.capterra.com/p/132005/MariaDB/)[SQLite](https://www.capterra.com/p/158187/SQLite/) Reason for choosing MongoDB because it has a high quality and quantity of documentation for every configuration that you wanna do, very detailed tutorials and forums where you can make questions for any problem that you have Review Source Tarak S.
