Pros

  • It has apple silicon support, nodejs scripting and amazing UI.

  • I really like the feature "realtime aggregator sample results. It really helps me testing on a fairly large collection.

  • It looks great and is incredibly easy to use from a developers perspective.

Cons

  • It is hard to search for the info needed if you do not know how to code or not familiar with it.

  • I still go back to Compass for the occasional query or operation but some of that is probably my lack of familiarity with Mingo.

  • I discovered by mistake and now all my colleagues are using it.

"A life-saviour for MongoDB developer professionals"

Overall: Overall experience with Mingo is amazing. UI is very modern. It's rich in feature set, of course, it doesn't have features like Studio 3T but whatever it has is far productive.

Pros: Writing queries like #last2Days, Auto converting plain ObjectId to query, saved queries, default saved query per collection.

Cons: Keyboard shortcuts, slow connection on boot.

Alternatives Considered: Studio 3T and DataGrip
Reasons for Choosing Mingo: Simple UI, simple-to-use features, helper utility features like #last2Days in query.
Reasons for Switching to Mingo: MongoDB compass is an official tool from MongoDB, so it lacks support, and features.

"Hands down the best Mongo client"

Overall: Awesome software that makes managing a MongoDB much nicer. Not sure why most MongoDB clients feel dated and clunky when MongoDB is pretty new. Glad to see Mingo come around and offer a modern solution with a lot of great features.

Pros: Its modern and clean compared to all the other offerings out their. Its design is also unique compared to other clients which all seem to try to be Studio 3T clones. Mingo thought outside the box and created a very well thought out client.

Cons: A few bugs with it, but the authors are responsive.

Switched From: Studio 3T
Reasons for Switching to Mingo: Cheaper and better import/export tools. Also looks way nicer.

"Best GUI for MongoDB"

Pros: Mingo has a very good UI. I'm using MongoDB for all of my products and it's really important for me. I've searched for days and my only choice is Mingo.

Cons: It needs quick fixes as all products. I can tell what I need at Mingo's Github page.

"A great tool for managing your Mongo Databases"

Pros: It's clear that the devs at Mingo have really thought about the daily pain points of working with large mongo databases and how to alleviate them. The stand out feature is being able to relate collections to each other which saves so many lookups. If you have for example a tenantId you can specify a relation which means it will show you the tenant name beside it. It's very stable but the odd small bug I have found has been fixed really quickly.

Cons: I still go back to Compass for the occasional query or operation but some of that is probably my lack of familiarity with Mingo.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the awesome review. We would love to chat with you about when/why are you using Compass, and we can show you why you don't need to :) (or we will log new feature requests)

"A great helper for MongoDB daily management"

Pros: I really like the feature "realtime aggregator sample results". It really helps me testing on a fairly large collection.

Cons: Might need some extra thoughts to get familiar with how Mingo manages multiple connections and projects. But it totally worth the effort because the tool can really save your day when you are all set.

"Works great!"

Overall: We use Mingo at work for managing our MongoDB databases, and it is great. We previously used Robo T3, but switched over to Mingo as soon as we tested it out.

Pros: It looks great and is incredibly easy to use from a developers perspective.

Cons: I dont particularly like the in-app upsell banners / ads for upgrading Mingo, but that's just a small gripe.
