"Great easy to learn and use"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The documentation is quite simple and to the point. I am able to understand it easily and implement it in my project that I was making quickly. It is intuitive, naming of the methods is quite memorable.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Free usage is upto 500mb only but cloud overall experience is quite good

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

i am always a fan of noSQL database, they may acquire a little more space but mongo is really fast. Me and my friends have implemented mongo in our project in much less time than any other database.

"MongoDB good scalability, and easy to use."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

It is excellent which allows me to execute many operations per second, which helps me save time. I can obtain excellent results at the time of administering large volume of documents or database. It is ideal because it offers me an automatic configuration. I have the power to make queries using javascript, which tells me that they go to the database directly. In the same way it has been easy for me to configure and also presents new and significant features in annual releases.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

I would like the document area to be presented to me with a good structure. It does not offer me a transaction function, it would be ideal to improve this feature. I think I find it a little slow to learn, it will take time. It would make me a little difficult, referring to complex queries, it would be ideal to explain better and be clearer, it would be good to perfect in reference to this point.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is ideal in our company that we are using which offers us learning time because they are fast and facilitates greater scalability of the project. We can say that it is great because we also use it as commercial applications. MongoDB provides our organization with an easy way to use and integrate. It is extraordinary, from the new avant-garde companies to the largest ones using MongoDB.

"Perfect for data storage "

The princip of collection is perfect for the data storage. In my case we use mongodb for the storage of training certificate. We have one collection for the distancial achievement, one for the presential achievement, one for the person... it’s really practical and easy to use !

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The language is difficult to learn at first. It’s more complicated than SQL language and it’s hard to find documentation on the internet

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use MongoDB for the storage of training certificate. We pass with success the last audit !

The management of MongoDB is a little complex, they should be strengthened with instructions, videos and others to have it available to support us to use this program.

At the time of acquiring this software we want to have as a support part manuals of instructions, videos of operation, so that it was easier to use

"MongoDB Cloud Manager Easy To Use"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

switching versions is very simple and smooth and it takes a very short time. I also like that I can see all of my different database servers in a very short time. A good backup strategy is a critical part of any database management system. MongoDB offers many options for backups and recovery/restore. Along with a good backup method, it is very important to have multiple replicas of the database. This helps to restore the database without having the downtime of even one second. I also found that reporting and real-time are too much useful especially to determine server problem, that helps me a lot

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

On the size of Data cost effects. Do not have store procedure application logic in the MongoDB. Slow restoring process. Sometimes for larger databases, the backup process can be very resource intensive. The backup process can increase the load on the server because of these reasons so you should run the backup process during the nights or non-peak hours.

What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used MongoDB Cloud Manager for point-in-time restore in our system. For us, its a best continuous and online backup solution.
