"MongoDB works"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

It has reduced my calls in the middle of the night. The rep server redundancy makes things low stress.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

We would have liked an on-site consultant to verify our production deployment prior to go-live.

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

We are currently implementing a document store which will allow searches across multiple types of docements.

"Awesome experience so far"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I like the flexible schema. This allows developers to keep moving without all the riggor to get a new column added in production.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Flexibility has gotten us into trouble also. Developers are now just adding fields without modeling which in 10 years, this might become a problem when we try to do impact analysis

"mongoDB: Faster go-to market DB"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

- The flexible schema - db features like: aggregate, lookup, graph

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

To find something in the documentation takes me time. I also find it difficult to find in-depth articles on indexing, sharding etc.

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

Building modern day micro-services based, API centric solutions for our clients. We build an ERP system on nodejs and mongo and now we are building a travel and booking platform.

"MongoDB - A ninja tool for Agile developer"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Being schema-less provides lot of advantage in the agile atmosphere

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Lack of open source IDE available, need to expose more of the paid tools to be available with minimal options in the community edition too.

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

Log Analytics, Geo-information systems, and health data metrics analysis. Geo-location capabilities of mongodb are great out-of-box.

"MongoDB ruined SQL databases for me"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

The flexibility of document focused databases makes it easy to change or update schemas, hold data with varying sample rates or different, non-subset fields.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

High performance drivers to native data structures in other programming languages. Specifically, if I want to store time series data in Mongo, then retrieve in Python, the list of queries has to be iterated through to pull out the individual data fields. Some third party solutions provide a better solution.

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

Data storage for IoT applications. SQL is certainly popular with business insight applications, but rolling out new and developing products in a start up meant we could not future proof our data collection up front when working with SQL databases.

"Quick, reliable NoSQL solution"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB is really very good NoSQL database. It is simple but powerful. It is quick on large datasets and simple to retrieve data. We use it mainly for logs and statistics data. Where our SQL-based database it uneffective Mongo comes and helps us.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

If you newer worked with NoSQL DBs it would be a little bit unusually to use it but perfect documentation and simple (JS-based) query language helps you to start quick.

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

MongoDB is used for statistics and logs data. Store that in SQL DB is very resourse expensive and uneffective.

"Lifesaver or at least product-saver"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB is very easy to learn and the BSON format make is super clear to read and interact with. The most important for us was the sharding feature and the fact we could take advantage of atomic operations.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

It's not a general purpose DB and you need to plan heavily before creating new db schema.

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

We were have a lot of performance problems with our write-heavy application and MongoDB helped us save all those problems. The installation and maintenance was also very straight-forward and we were able to pick it up with ease from the online documentation.

"Not a silver bullet, but definitely bronze"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Easiest document database with real querying capabilities with map and reduce built in.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Update queries get really slow and database performance starts falling linearly with the size of database

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

Workflow management with jobs and task tracking. Product catalog with the evolving schema of products.

"Most mature open source NoSQL database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB is a versatile NoSQL database, that requires limited training to get started. Querying the database doesn't involve writing complex code, but simply sending a JSON filter.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Setting up a production system can be rather expensive for small systems. Setup and maintenance can also be rather complicated without paid tools.

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

MongoDB has a dynamic schema. This give flexibility to the application, making it possible to easily create backward- and forward compatible versions. The schema does allow the creation of indexes, to increase performance.

"Versatile Document-Oriented DB"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

We've used mongo in three different projects: in to of them for data serialization and for schema analysis for the other one. The query API is powerful and expressive and object serialization (with Morphia, I am sure there are other great frameworks) is seamless and with minimal annotation overhead. MongoDB Compass tool that comes with it is fantastic for statistically analyzing the schema of arbitrarily hierarchical data.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

I would probably add a bit more flexible wildcard-style query capability (i.e. when you don't know a specific name for a field, but know a little about the structure it should satisfy), but I'm being picky.

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

Natura language understanding. Mongo's support for heterogeneous documents has been very handy.
