" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 7, 2023 FaunaDB have grown over the years, fine tuning along the way. Everything that makes FaunaDB great has got better overtime. The flexibilty of query language really helps being able to write and deploy quickly without having to worry about the usual inconsistencies. If migrating from another source, then all I can say is sit back and enjoy as it was an absolute breeze. Pros FaunaDB really outshines the competition on so many levels. The wide array \[{no pun intended}\] of configurability, geo-located data, easy migration, query performance logs as well as scalability along with a smooth interface equates to a very dev friendly database model. And one I will use again in the very near future. Cons In the early stages, the 'explore' stage, FQL was a small learning curve, but that was entirely through personal choice. GraphQL would have worked equally well. Switched from [MongoDB](https://www.capterra.com/p/127374/MongoDB/) Early adopter - was pleasantly surprised and cost effective. Alternatives considered [PlanetScale](https://www.capterra.com/p/237919/PlanetScale/) Reasons for choosing FaunaDB Flexibility above anything else but future planning had a part to play.
