Simple and uncluttered

  • July 27, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
The layout and the no-nonsense approach to showing what's needed. The connection parameters can sometimes bewilder a newbie who's using a database GUI for the first time with the SID, port #, etc. But I really found Atlas pretty much easy to setup - perhaps the well explained user guide that I viewed before might have something to do with it.
Once connected, viewing your datasets might take a bit more time, especially if you are more used to the traditional SQL database structures. Once you get the hang of it, you really don't see the difference any more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The filter text box that appears on the query screen is not pretty intuitive at all. At least that's how I felt during the first days of experimenting with Mongo DB. I pretty much felt better writing queries in the CLI interface rather than trying it out in that text box.
Perhaps the syntax errors could be highlighted or explained more - however, if this means dumbing down the product, I would very much be okay with not having it done in the first place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use another NoSQL database for our current product and we have come across limitations in terms of maintenance and memory resources required to keep running it. Additionally, this database doesn't have a native GUI to interact with and some of our developers have not become fond of it.
When we started experimenting with MongoDB, the availability of GUI that's simple and easy to use has been a huge bonus in increasing the comfort level your experience while attempting to shift products. This has led to more of our non-developers in our team to start trying out Mongo DB - especially the ones who were intrigued on the NoSQL concept.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Drop the idea that your database interface needs to be complex in order for it to be awesome. Sometimes, all you need is a simple one to get your product out to the market faster.

Great DB for non relational pourposes

  • July 26, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
The mongoDB its a extremely eficient database for non relational data. Items like blog, with tags, or even credit cards, with a lot of transactions, is better worked on MongoDB. It evens let you insert various types of data in the same field.
The use of non relational database also allows the better use of data pools, with a better performance and easiest use, so i can use a lot more of IOT devices, using just a litle specs, like "id" and "info", and controlling the data is more aplicable in field, with just a few modifications to change the hardware versions, and even holding the data from legacy IOT devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its a little more new than the others, so dosn't have as much resources in the community. Its a little more hard to find answer in Mongo than MSSQL or MySQL. But i know that this comes with the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sensor data from multiple equipaments, and the mongo let me use a simple data pool to use for data management. Hardware revisions and changes is still a pain in others database, specially in relational databases. In non relational databases, is easy to change my devices, and use the mongoDB with new specs. In deployed ones, i dont need to change the software to use with the upgraded ones. Both models can work toghether, and this is a huge step, and with less worries involved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a more vast community from users

Easy to setup, easy to use, reliable

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup. I was very inexperienced with database administration and had no issues at all setting it up.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is sometimes confusing. It's probably me, not you! I had trouble setting up the primary vs. secondary regions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it as a repository for user information. I have been building a multi-player game based on graph theory. It is still not in production due to graphics issues.

Looks promising

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I was looking database with a dynamic structure and MongoDB certainly delivers. The object model used is flexible and adapts well to changing content. Having lived in the relational world it take some getting used to but its very powerful.

The free tier of Atlas is great to explore and prove out ideas. The documentation on learning is also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The toolset to explore is limited. A built grid control would be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am building a product that allows user to build their own web pages for storing data. Mongo DB allows for the creation of the collection with minimal overhead. As the users alter the pages MongoDB adapts to the the new fields fantastically.

The biggest benefit I've realized is the speed. It is amazingly fast.

What do you like best about the product?
Stabilized, cloud ready can be access easily. Liked the deployment features. Available tutorial to learn the tool quickly and easily.

Nothing to dislike, I like this very much. Missing the instant interpreter Getting difficult to migrate to MongoDB from relational database which can be added more value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are planning to use this tool for analyzing data from various geographical locations. Currently doing the feasibility study and discussion is under process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can be consider if anyone wants to work in nosql. With free tutorial, this database is easy to learn and can be consider for long term use. I would recommend this to consider this for nosql project.
