They should use Prisma or Mongoose as the starting point for using MongoDB. MongoDB is easier to manipulate. The easier the onboarding, the harder the maintenance.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
A data storage platform that provides good performance and replication features
What is our primary use case?
MongoDB is a data storage platform. All our application databases are stored in JSON format, and we also use MongoDB replication.
What is most valuable?
MongoDB is pretty lightweight and fast on the web because we're using non-structured data. One of the reasons we chose MongoDB is that we don't have to worry about the schema. It is also available in the cloud, and we are going to move to Atlas Cloud for MongoDB. MongoDB has many good replication features and good performance.
What needs improvement?
Some of the solution's transaction capabilities can be improved. Not much support is available on the transaction side. The size of the document that we can share is also limited. MongoDB also has sharding capabilities, but they are a bit complex. There is some issue with the replication of MongoDB across clusters. We're not able to replicate MongoDB.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using MongoDB for almost five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is more suited for small to medium-sized businesses.
I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
MongoDB and PostgreSQL are very similar solutions.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is very simple.
What other advice do I have?
We are currently using the on-premises version of MongoDB, but we are moving to the cloud. I would recommend the solution to other users.
Overall, I rate MongoDB an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
A non-relational database that provides good documentation
What is most valuable?
I use MongoDB whenever I want to use non-relational data. I use the solution to make a non-relational database or objected data for my personal project related to social media. MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer.
What needs improvement?
MongoDB should improve its data loading part. If I update data with MongoDB via the browser, the loading takes a lot of time when I want to use the updated data. The loading is further slowed down if my internet is slow. We use MongoDB Compass to avoid these types of issues.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using MongoDB for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
MongoDB is a stable solution, and I haven’t seen any bugs in it.
How are customer service and support?
I always connect the solution using the same method. I recently tried to connect to MongoDB, but I couldn't do so. I contacted the technical support team, and they told us that our server is an Asian server. They told us the issue would be fixed automatically in two or three hours. I waited for the server to be fixed and then resumed work. I did not directly contact the support team. I asked another developer facing the same problem to contact the support team.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of the solution is easy for me, but it's not easy for any beginner to learn MongoDB. MongoDB gives us the connection string that I connect to the node to ensure the connection is done. MongoDB sometimes gives us an IP problem if their IP and my IP are not the same. MongoDB uses a private IP, but I can use a global IPL.
Sometimes, beginners can't understand why the database is not working despite them connecting MongoDB the way I showed them. Sometimes, my junior developer comes to me and asks why the database is not working. By default, MongoDB sets a strict IP address. Then, I edit the solution's private IP and change it to our global IP. Using a MongoDB connection string is a bit hard for a beginner, but it gets easier as they practice it two or three times.
What other advice do I have?
MongoDB is a non-relational database that is deployed on the AWS and Azure cloud. I recommend PostgreSQL or MySQL to users who do not want to store data in JSON format. I also recommend MongoDB to users who want to build a project that stores JSON-type data in the database. MongoDB makes it easy for me to read the data from a JSON perspective and fetch the data from the database.
Connecting to MongoDB will be easy if you learn the queries and how they connect or manipulate data. For the first time, you have to learn the solution's queries and data flow to use it. The learning process for MongoDB is easy because it has easy-to-understand documentation. Any beginner can read the documentation and try to use the solution.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Has a user-friendly interface and an easy setup process
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use MongoDB as a database to handle large volumes of data. It's useful when we need to manage millions of records quickly.
What is most valuable?
The cloud solution offered by MongoDB, known as Atlas, has been invaluable to us. It provides a good, user-friendly interface. The ease of use and scalability make it stand out compared to relational databases.
What needs improvement?
Improvements could be made in query optimization, particularly when performing lookups or joining tables. Input functions to restrict the amount of data passed in pipelines would be beneficial for this purpose. Additionally, enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial. As someone with seven years of experience with MongoDB, I find the ecosystem intuitive, but newcomers often need help with the documentation.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using MongoDB for seven years now, and we are currently using the latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The platform has good stability.
How are customer service and support?
We contacted the MongoDB team for assistance whenever we encountered issues, particularly when optimizing queries that took too long. They helped us understand the root cause of the problem and provided us with discounts on certain occasions. For instance, when we accidentally used a larger instance, which resulted in higher costs, they understood the situation and offered us a discount to mitigate the expense.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We chose MongoDB over other solutions because it can handle large volumes of data and is flexible in data manipulation.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup process is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is affordable, but I don't have direct comparisons with other products as I haven't been involved in the billing process.
What other advice do I have?
The NoSQL structure, particularly the document-based data management, has made data management easier for me. MongoDB's approach to handling data in documents rather than traditional tables has been particularly beneficial.
MongoDB's document-oriented model improves development speed by providing each document with its built-in key or ID, similar to a primary key in relational databases. This inherent ID facilitates faster execution of operations, such as searching for specific documents. Additionally, it allows for creating additional indexes, further enhancing performance. The familiarity of JSON-like structure makes it easy for developers, both front-end and back-end, to work with, leading to quicker development and visualization of data.
I advise others to understand the fundamentals of databases and how they store data. They should start with online videos to grasp the ecosystem, focusing on concepts like data storage. The document-oriented structure with binary objects is crucial for individuals with a programming background.
Several limitations related to querying certain documents can be challenging. They express concerns about the lookup process, where we sometimes need to fetch a large amount of data simultaneously. Additionally, there are limitations regarding the size of documents, which may require restructuring or storing data.
I rate it an eight out of ten.
