Open-source tool improves network monitoring and reporting efficiency

  • June 25, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

MongoDB does well in being able to access our network devices and keep logs and reporting—that's about it.

I would recommend MongoDB as part of a template if anyone is considering free and open-source templating services such as LibreNMS, but as a standalone, I couldn't advise.

What is most valuable?

MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard, so I would say it has impacted our operations positively overall.

What needs improvement?

I'm not sure about the documentation or the knowledge bases available for MongoDB because I don't interact with it at that level, but I would say it's minimal and could be improved.

I am not experienced with MongoDB enough to know any pain points or areas they could improve.

Nothing else comes to mind at this time that could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

We deployed MongoDB about five years ago and it has been in operation since then.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I was not a part of the initial setup or deployment of MongoDB.

One person was involved with the setup team, and it took just a few days to deploy it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate MongoDB an eight; it's mostly because we're still running a monolithic environment on old hardware, so there are some limitations with read-write access.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

At this time, I'm only looking into Cisco or Linux or other solutions out of curiosity about possibly switching to it, but currently all that we use are LibreNMS and Splynx.

How was the initial setup?

From what I know, I would say the initial setup of MongoDB was pretty straightforward.

On LibreNMS, they have a template for setting up the environment that includes all the services, so MongoDB is just part of that template, meaning they weren't really too hands-on with setting up MongoDB itself.

What about the implementation team?

One person was involved with the setup team, and their job title was Network Operations Engineer.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I'm familiar with open-source databases such as MongoDB, and I don't think it's Grafana, but it's similar to Grafana, though I'm trying to think of what it's called.

I'm not entirely sure about the main differences between MongoDB and other open-source databases that I've used.

We haven't really delved too much into looking at comparisons for databases.

What other advice do I have?

MongoDB is not currently supporting our AI-driven projects nor do we use it along with AI at all.

I don't know how MongoDB's document-oriented model has benefited our management processes; that's beyond my expertise.

I don't have experience with QRadar or Auvik or similar products.

I'm familiar with some Linux tools, just things such as smokeping, which we use implemented in our LibreNMS environment.

I'm only an operator, so I don't actually spend a lot of time developing MongoDB, thus I'm not sure what the best features are.

I would rate MongoDB an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

I have about four years of experience working with MongoDB.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

The deployment process was straightforward.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

MongoDB is highly stable, and I would rate its stability at nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

MongoDB is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

We use the open-source version of MongoDB and manage it ourselves, so we have not contacted their technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before using MongoDB, we used IBM DB2. We switched to MongoDB to develop a composite system that includes both SQL and NoSQL databases.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of MongoDB was a straightforward process.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.

What other advice do I have?

Based on my experience, I would recommend MongoDB to others. Its usage depends on specific use cases. MongoDB is suitable for document database needs. I would rate MongoDB as eight or nine out of ten, and I would rate the overall solution the same.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

  • July 18, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am basically a developer and also a freelancer. I take up a lot of freelance projects for which I use MongoDB. I use it for the database system on my website.

What is most valuable?

The tool provides some free packages for freshers, which is very good because a lot of beginners or students don't want to spend too much money on it. The tool is also user-friendly. I don't make any connections a lot of the time if I use MongoDB in my project.

What needs improvement?

I previously encountered some issues with the tool, which included downtime issues. Sometimes, the tool goes down temporarily. There are some stability issues in the product.

There are some problems with the tool's website, and it can get laggy, but otherwise, it is pretty good.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using MongoDB for more than a year. I am just a user of the tool.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool works most of the time, but it may go down at times. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool's scalability is pretty good. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

MongoDB is pretty popular, and we have a lot of documents and support available for it. The community is pretty big for it. I never faced any problems.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have a little experience with SQL, but. I have major experience with MongoDB because it is well compared to other tools.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is easy.

The product's deployment phase can be done quickly. In a few minutes, we can create a database, get the APIs, and use it without any issues.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is normal. Price-wise, the product is not too much expensive.

What other advice do I have?

Though the replication features in the product are pretty good, I don't use them a lot.

I definitely recommend the tool to other people. A lot of startups can use it, and some people can already use it. If some students want to do some project, they can use the tool as its pricing is reasonable. The support and stability of the tool are also okay.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

A data storage platform that provides good performance and replication features

  • June 27, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

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

Has a user-friendly interface and an easy setup process

  • April 23, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

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.
