Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast and efficient Database Management tool" October 25, 2022 5.0 Pros MongoDB has a desktop application to access the database stored locally as well as on the cloud. The cloud interface which is MongoDB Atlas provides various functionalities like data visualisation by generating charts in real-time based on the values in the database. It is highly scalable and compatible with different software development languages. Cons Some complex operations like sharding can be a bit difficult to implement initially. Apart from this, I feel MongoDB is a very powerful database management software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner of ShadowPlayersDev Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Database management with MongoDB" April 10, 2024 4.0 Pros MongoDB provides several useful features, the search/filter feature is really fast and optimized, it's good for small and big databases. Cons The interface of MongoDB is quite confusing when set up. Review Source Austin M. Software Analyst Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "MongoDB, your non-relational buddy" October 27, 2023 5.0 We're using MongoDB to store a lot of our data, excel sheets, csv files, everything that helps and is an important file to the organisation.It is managed by the IT-department though, it does not involve end-users actually using it. The API to work with it is insanely useful, allowing us to make software that connects and saves within the MongoDB environment. Pros I think the most impactful thing about MongoDB is the freedom you have when working with a non-relational database, performing at high speeds whenever you need it the most. It's incredibly useful and complete, making it one of the best at what it does. Cons I think some features could be improved, like filtering accesibility or some helping-tools for non-technological users, the learning curve is too steep I feel, that you need to support and encourage those users to fill that gap. Review Source alex R. Analista Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " open code oriented to non-sql documents." June 23, 2018 5.0 it is worth investing in this product in many aspects both in data backup and security and in its excellent use of the tool for its monitoring and data management. Pros is a powerful non-sql database and open source, this allows us to better manage data one of its great virtues in qe we can execute multiple tasks directly from javascrip without anything in additional, its file system allows greater security to the Dasastres time is also equipped with a large system that allows the implementation in multiple machines closter. Cons among the things that really do not fill me completely with this platform is that at the time of implementation is a bit difficult because the support material for it is a bit cumbersome to understand and that by exceeding a certain base size of data begins to present latency.

February 19, 2019 4.0 Pros MongoDB is quite different from normal database management that people are used to through SQL. It is great because you don't need to deal with something as stiff and structured as SQL and can just store objects. Cons It takes up a lot more space and memory than SQL Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Advance way to save data" March 13, 2018 4.0 Earlier we were using sql server but now we have started work through mongo db as it provide massive speed with larger amount of data. Pros It provide greate performace even we have large amount of data. It also support various tools like apache's and terrastore. It store the complex data in simpler format so we do not worry about advance concept like RDBMS. It automatically manage your data and return the result through simpler query. Cons As it support various types of tool which increased its sized and lead to slow speed of system. It does not support to relational queries we have to do it manually. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful NoSQL database engine" July 19, 2018 4.0 Pros It is very easy to setup, and its usage is very intuitive. It is very easy to scale and there are straight forwards ORMs to use it like Mongoose.

Pros It is very useful if we want to store dependency data. It provide easy way to manage large data. Dynamic queries and stored procedure is very easy to create and execute. It is also provide high sequrity. Cons When we retrieve data from large table it takes time as this store the records based on key value pair. Overall this is best tool but i would like some performance in it. Review Source Román Josué D. Data Science Team Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No SQL? Then MongoDB!" March 18, 2019 5.0 A great place to start in the world of No-SQL if you come from relational databases! Pros Having worked with relational databases during many years, my first contact with no relational databases is with MongoDB. I must say that it's possible the best No-SQL DB if you have a similar background. It's easy to understand the concepts, and easy to work with MongoDB. In addition, if you already know Javascript and manage JSON, MongoDB will be easier to learn and manage. Understanding collections and records takes almost no time. And you will easily work with the equivalent to the CRUD operations. Cons The integration with some programming languages is not at its best. Review Source Heidi M. iForge Representative Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Big Database."

Data Analyst Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best NoSQL Database Tool" July 27, 2018 5.0 Pros One of the best, if not the best NoSQL databases available in the market. It is very easy to use, easily scalable, and offers outstanding server-less machine learning capabilities to its users. The fact it is open source is huge plus as well. I would definitely recommend MingoDB to computer science and statistics students looking to get into the field of data analysis. Cons Of course it is NoSQL and so it is unsuitable for complex queries. A main con which depending on the person might not be a real con is MongoDB's inability to deal with SQL which is use much more frequently in the data world. Review Source EA Eduardo A. CMO Industrial Automation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Buena opción " December 29, 2022 5.0 Pros Facilidad de uso, fácil para el equipo y gran estabilidad.

April 23, 2021 4.0 Since we are online service providing company, we extract and pull data from different websites, and data's existing in such websites does not have fixed structure. so to resolve that issues we use mongodb as database for data cleansing. and also for faster processing as all the operations can be done in memory. Pros Performance speed is quite fast as all the operations are done in memory. The storage can be easily increased. It has a growing active user community with also well documented which is updated on a regular basis. Cons Joining documentation, indexing data are quite confusing and become hard as you dive. Since it does not support transactions, it becomes somewhat useless with apps that are based on transactional activities like bank transactions, online shopping.

It's easy to scale and works great. Pros Something that's really neat that MongoDB does that other database software doesn't do is database analytics. With data visualizations, I can build quick models to showcase my data in a meaningful way. I think that's just awesome. Cons I do have to say the data sizes on MongoDB is higher than what I've seen from other database software. There is also some lack of flexibility with querying because there are no JOINS.

Solution Architect Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent No-SQL Database support complex query and all data type" December 20, 2019 5.0 We use MongoDB as our main No-SQL database in our application which needs to ingest JSON and XML files from input source then use it in our business and make the call to other systems via Rest API and receive a response which uses XML and JSON format Pros MongoDB has a powerful query language which has almost complex command as the relational database such as join, subquery, aggregate and indexing, it allows to filter, sort or calculate any field which located inside a document and support the full ACID transaction. MongoDB supports JSON, XML, document type allow us to store whole Rest API response or a ingest document into the database and still support full search and filter instead of parsing it to fields before storing. MongoDB is easy to configure as a cluster for high availability, horizontal scaling Cons MongoDB consumes a lot of HDD when we add many indexes and the query which involve lookup command is quite slow and its document is quite confusing Review Source KB Karl B.

July 31, 2018 4.0 Pros Key feature of Mongo DB is its high performance as data objects are saved in separate document. It is very flexible i.e. deletion or adding any fields hardly affects the application. Mongo DB does not allow joins hence data retrieval becomes more faster. Mongo DB is very useful for small organisations working on mobile and social networking sites. Cons No stored procedure or functions are supported be Mongo hence it is very difficult to bind complex logics. It is not good for organisations where large number of transactions takes place.
