### "Great database for enterprise with features being added all the time."

February 27, 2018

4.0

Performance and flexibility.

Pros

Good performance, with an expressive and ever-expanding query language. The company is very responsive to users' feature requests.

Cons

No concept of ACID transactions (yet, coming soon), requiring users to think very carefully about certain mission-critical tasks. Query language is a bit verbose and confusing at times.

### "First NOSQL based database as far I know and very efficient."

May 1, 2019

5.0

Pros

Traditional databases was not supposed to deal with lots of data and unstructured data and then NoSQL came. It changed the way we were dealing with data.Now , you dont have to define table column datatype, you dont have to put size on table columns , you have all these features . I really enjoy working with MongoDB, easy too horizontally scale using daemon process and replication is also very easy, not much different in syntax from traditional RDBMS, thus learning curve is easy.

Cons

Miss core features of MySQL databases, No more transactions , committing

### "The best DB Ever"

October 3, 2018

5.0

I used to use relational databases. When I discovered MongoDB and the non-relational universe, I try to use MongoDB as much as I can.

Pros

Very powerful and fast, full of functionalities and well documented.

Cons

It should have a Node Client full of promises support. On Node, everything is tring to not use callback anymore, but Mongo is still on callbacks.

### "MongoDB For Speed"

January 14, 2023

4.0

Thanks to its multi-language support, it provides access and programming support in different languages. It is a flexible database. It can be used to process very large data. It provides very fast feedback in terms of performance. It has an easy to manage and easy query language.

Pros

Are the restrictive features of all classical databases hindering your goals? Then I suggest you try MongoDB. We get much more efficient and faster results in my personal projects that I started for social support projects. You can see the results when you compare the performances you get in the trial version. Multi-language support and programming solution are also extremely important. Being open source also makes it scalable.

Cons

You will need a lot of query techniques and software for relational databases or your queries. Data duplication can be multiple.

### "Best NoSQL Database for Developers"

December 10, 2019

5.0

Easy to setup and use is a huge benefit in MongoDB as well as free clusters available in MongoDB Atals is always helpful in small projects.

Pros

MongDB is one of the best NoSQL, doucment databases available right now. It has plugins developed for almost all the languages, frameworks as well as a big community that is using MongoDB is very helpful since they are people to help you to overcome any problem. In general I prefer working with MongoDB rather than SQL databases due to the felxibility and the less restrictions. However, it will depend on the requirement.

Cons

Generally I do not have anything I do not like about MongoDB, except the UI provide by MongoDB Atlas which is moved from mLab.

### "NoSQL at its best form"

March 23, 2022

5.0

I believe MongoDB is one of the best on the market which has the competitive margin over the performance and availability. It's stable and trustworthy.

Pros

MongoDB came to help us as the NoSQL answer to our DocumentDB needs. The performance is incomparable to other competitors. Building queries is simple as the data stored follows JSON structure.

Cons

Joining two collections using C# client for MongoDB is a little bit tricky and needs simplification from the team.

### "MongoDB is a wonderful breath of fresh air"

January 24, 2018

4.0

I can store data that doesn't have to conform to a SQL database and that is huge for me. I can also store data horizontally and not vertically.

Pros

When I need to store data that isn't relational, Mongo is where I turn. It makes my life so much easier, and I can do all the things I want and don't have to worry about conforming to a SQL db.

### "The experience is wonderful, handling large amounts of data in seconds, in a simple way."

March 9, 2018

5.0

It has allowed me to be able to store and handle large volumes of data, this is wonderful to perform data analysis; In addition, to be able to save codes in JSON that will be used in the website, it is very good!

Pros

Loading data to MONGODB in JSON format is the maximum, since it allows to integrate JavaScritp with the data base in a more efficient way. It is very flexible, having unstructured data, allows us to perform updates without major complications. In addition, the high speed in data recovery is extraordinary for managing large volumes of data, one million records in a few minutes!. It is great!

Cons

It is not efficient with the available storage space; In addition, you can not validate the fields that are saved, so there may be inconsistency in the data. It is not very clear to use the "use" command to access the database and collections.

### "MongoDB Review"

October 30, 2019

4.0

Overall it is a good choice for handling unstructured data with the ease.

Pros

MongoDB is not a RDMS database( i.e NoSQL Database) which helps to store any kind of unstructured data. Fault tolerant fail over and sharding databases makes easy to handle large amount of data without any data loss. MongoDB Driver is available for all popular languages and it works greatly with Big Data. we can retrieve output as JSON , which makes the data more readable. There is no need for writing complex queries like RDBMS and it is very easy to install.

Cons

Difficult to retrieve data from the combination of more than one collections. Free version offers only limited memory to handle data.

### "Solid NoSQL Database"

January 20, 2023

5.0

All in all my overall experience when using MongoDB is super positive. I would recommend to everyone looking for a No-SQL database solution.

Pros

MongoDB is my favourite solution when I have a use case that is not covered by traditional relational databases such as MySQL. About MongoDB i like most the powerful analytics and querying processes as well as the quite simple installation.

Cons

You should be aware about some limitations, that are relevant for some use cases, such as 16 MB per document or maximum 100 levels for performance nesting.

### "Open source NoSQL database "

August 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

MongoDB is a very advanced and rich in features Database for storing JSON data. I have worked in a project where MongoDB was already set up and was the main data source for the Application. The API I have worked with was written in Javascript, and it was very intuitive and simple to grasp. MongoDB was hosted in AWS cloud, and it turned out to generate costs similar to DynamoDB.

Cons

Personally I prefered working with DynamoDB, as it did not require the deployment step as opposed to MongoDB. Besides that I do not see any cons of MongoDB.

### "Nonrelational database for scalability"

August 31, 2019

4.0

My overall experience with MongoDB has been pretty solid. Nothing much to complain about, it must be used for the proper use case.

Pros

I like how scalable MongoDB is and how it can be used for workflows with extreme speed and high availability otherwise unachievable with relational SQL databases. It also has pretty good support.

Cons

I least like that MongoDB is not ACID compliant, in the sense that data consistency is eventual and not consistent right away.

### "Great enterprise level NoSQL database"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Fantastic, my first choice for NoSQL databases.

Pros

As a frontend developer, MongoDB is of course a great resource. The setup has always been easy because there are great supporting products for hosting and viewing data such as mLab and Mongo Compass. Backend libraries, such as Mongoose, are well supported and work fairly well.

Cons

Executing complicated queries can be very difficult to learn, even in comparison to a typical SQL language.

### "Probably the best NoSQL database out there!"

December 27, 2018

4.0

It's a good NoSQL database. But you should know the right time to use Mongo. Otherwise you're only making things more complicated. like in table joins and so on. If you have a lightweight project with no strict requirement of table joins, then try Mongo. It's gonna perform really fast in times like those.

Pros

MongoDB is very useful when you're working on a lightweight project. t performs very fast in such occasions. And the queries are very easy to understand. Especially when you have some knowledge in JS, this is even easier to understand the queries. It has got a built-in security ecosystem that is very reliable. And there are lot of good tutorials provided by MongDB university .

Cons

yeah this has some weaknesses too. Like , if your project needs JOIN operation , probably you should stick to SQL . And you're probably gonna face some issues with concurrent transactions.

Pretty decent and easy to use. Quality has improved.

Pros

Data storage, organization and maintenance.

Cons

### "I used MongoDB to quickly bootstrap an application before setting a schema."

June 5, 2018

5.0

I was able to quickly start working on an app without stressing over data schema. By creating an abstraction layer between the database and my API, I could switch to a structured database like Postgres relatively easily when the time came.

Pros

There is extensive documentation for working with Mongo in almost every programming language, and it is very intuitive to see what your data is shaped like. There are many free tools to view and manipulate data as well.

Cons

This may be more related to how you actually use the software, but you should have an abstraction layer between the database and your API so that changes to the schema or provider don't break your app.

### "MongoDB, one of the best NoSQL database"

February 12, 2022

5.0

Overall I am able to solve the business problems using MongoDB and experience is good.

Pros

What I liked the most about MongoDB is efficient performance due to it's in memory processing which makes querying faster. Also using MongoDB we made the scalable solutions

Cons

What I don't like about MongoDB is computation complication on different joins queries, hence execution time is high for such queries.
