Room for improvement in data handling leads to enhanced cost-effective data management performance
It would be beneficial if MongoDB Atlas could better support OLTP aspects and data frames, as well as enhance its capabilities for data pipelines and visualization dashboards. Furthermore, supporting the medallion architecture could be a valuable addition, and incorporating improved spatial and vector handling for geographical data could make it more competitive. Enhancing vector processing for AI capabilities would also be critical.
Duy AnhMai - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers security and good performance
Price-wise, the tool is expensive, and I feel it is an area where improvements are needed. Oracle Database as a Service is not as popular as other tools because we use AWS and GCP. Oracle is okay in terms of performance for banking businesses and some big companies. As I use the tool in Heineken, I know Oracle is an okay security solution. We use and deploy some applications and features from Oracle that are better than what others offer. The data in the tool is actually stored in the production part, so it is always kept a secret. I don't think that AI has been integrated into the tool. The AI used by Oracle is not as strong as that used by AWS. I recommend the tool to others, especially banking, finance, and insurance companies where the security needs to be better. There is maintenance for the tool required, but I don't know which company does it for our organization. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is easily scalable and manageable. Tools can be easily added to the solution."
"MongoDB is a NoSQL tool."
"Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance."
"There are many valuable features, but scalability stands out. It can scale across zones. You can define multiple nodes. They have also partnered with AWS, offering great service with multiple features, including built-in backup, all under the same roof, without the need for external tools."
"Object-based data storing capability and managing non-structured data capability are the most valuable features of MongoDB Atlas."
"The dynamic structures are the most valuable."
"It is a scalable solution because we use quite a lot of data, and it handles it well."
"I rate MongoDB Atlas a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable Oracle Database as a Service is security."
"I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten because the stability and performance are good and the solution does not need to be maintained a lot."
"What I like about Oracle Database as a Service is that it has excellent stability, and the development is effortless. I also like the enhanced queries in Oracle Database as a Service best."
"The solution is fast and easy."
"My impression of the scalability of Oracle Database as a Service is very high."
"It's a scalable product."
"Data Guard is the best solution for Disaster Recovery."
"What I found most valuable about Oracle Database as a Service is its fast transactions and materialized views."
 

Cons

"The UI application for MongoDB crashes a lot, so we would have to use a third-party plugin to make it work."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
"MongoDB Atlas should improve its user experience by providing better explanations or a wizard for people working with its UI."
"MongoDB Atlas is effective for unstructured and semi-structured data, but when it comes to OLTP transactions, its performance declines."
"The tool's implementation should be made easier."
"We had some bad trainers when we first came onboard and would rate them fairly low. They did not seem staffed properly to fulfill the training services that they offered."
"I am not an expert on what improvements could be made to MongoDB."
"Based on its own habitat, it's not ACID compliant. If it had an ACID compliant option, it would be more useful for database administration."
"Improvement in Oracle DBaaS could focus on enhancing performance monitoring and reporting tools."
"The initial setup is complex. This is not a really easy solution. It is very large, so it's hard to install, but it's not impossible."
"We'd like to see better support for non-structured data and in-memory load."
"The product must improve its performance."
"The solution's pricing could be less expensive."
"Some of the technical features could be improved. They have a problem with some of the object types. I think this is one of the issues which is needed to be improved."
"Pricing for Oracle Database as a Service could be cheaper, so this is an area for improvement."
"The ROI has not been good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise tier."
"It is too expensive. They need to work on this."
"The tool is free since it's an open-source product."
"In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"We're currently using the Atlas for the night and don't require a license. However, it can be a problem if you want to use their enterprise environment. Then you need to purchase the license."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"The price of the solution depends on the scale of how you will use it."
"This solution is costly because it saves a lot of data."
"For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
"Oracle Database as a Service has a yearly licensing fee, which is expensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable but depends upon the negotiation."
"It is a very expensive tool."
"The solution is quite expensive but worth the money."
"What has been done is that an annual subscription model has been launched, which includes the payment of both the AML (Annual Maintenance Fee) and the subscription fee, paid on a yearly basis."
