"No SQL Database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Ease of Use:

If you use Mongodb in any project this is useful for relationships suppose you are creating an e-commerce website it is useful because there is no table-like database it stores only the data you want suppose you are creating an electronic collection so if you are using MongoDB so it contains data in json format and it consumes less space and much faster.

Ease of Implementation :

If you implement this into your project so that JSON format is straightforward to view, read, and write because this is similar to javascript syntax and it consumes less space and is faster and you can store data by creating schema and that relationship is also great and less coding.

Number of Features :

MongoDB provides a few tools:

MongoDB Compass

Mongo Atlas for using Online through MongoURI

Mongo Terminal

Ease of Integration :

If you integrate this into in your project so there is module so you can install that module and you can easily integrate this with your any backend project and anywhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

So the dislike thing is you can easily store data without creating any schema and there is not default validation if you want to use validation so you have to create additionally but in the MySQL there is default validation no duplicate data will store in database but in the MongoDB there is nothing to validate but if you want to validate something so you have to use required true and so many things.

"NO SQL at its finest"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB has been my go-to NOSQL database for years in my daily usage. It has a lot of very good feature sets combined while not being complicated to use. It has a very good community and can be integrated with all tools, frameworks, and languages with ease. There is Mongoose which further makes its implementation very swift. It is a fast, versatile, well-maintained service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

In my everyday use of MongoDB the only thing I find lacking is its ability to connect data. It's no relational sql database but querying should be made easier for users. In recent times it has moved more company-centric but that's fine as it has a very good self-hosting option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Open Source NoSQL database able to store large volume data effeciently."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Many popular SQL-based database technologies can help us to store structured data, however, when it comes to storing a huge volume of semi-structured, MongoDB which is a NoSQL-based database is one of the best in the business. It gives us the flexibility to store the less structures business application data seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Though MongoDB can store our data in large volumes smoothly It is less flexible when it comes to retrieving that data stored in multiple collections, As MongoDB doesn't support the Join feature amongst multiple collections for data retrieval. This causes data duplication and intervention of ad-hoc back-end code to perform join manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Flexible and Powerful Database System!"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

It is flexible and helps to store data in document format. If you want to handle a huge amount of data then it is a perfect platform. It is providing high performance and better solution of storing data. As data is stored in document format thus you can easily delete and add any existing field and you can change records as well. It helps in fetching data accurately and storing complex structures. It helps in storing data with any type and size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Users are facing a lot of security issues. Aggregation is complex and difficult to learn. It has a terrific administrative interface. It will not be able to work fast with a cloud environment, most of its processes will slow down. It may be impossible to remove some comments in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best innovations of our time."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I have been using MongoDB for around 2 years and it has one of the easiest learning curve. I can easily integrate it via either Node or install the command line of MongoDB to get started. The documentation is greater as well which is easy to understand. Although the best thing would be that it's free to use up to a certain limit and allows scaling with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The only thing I can find to dislike would be MongoDB's flexible document modal which allows schema-less data, its good for some cases but at time causes some complexity when a lot of relations are required between documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MongoDb is easy to manage and light weight"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

1. Mongo Db is a NonSql data base you don't need to execute query

2. Store JSon base collection so you can story data directly that coming in REST API body

3. Lightweight it means the response is faster and takes less memory to compute

4. Take less storage

5. No worries about the relation

6. Easy to understand and easy to learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

1. Its NonSql so sometimes it's difficult to maintain

2. Less Security than SQL database

3. Some time its depends on technology like PHP if i use PHP then i use My SQL because its easy to integrate and manage for PHP technology Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Implemented mongoDB which reduced latency"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB follows a document-oriented data model, which allows for storing and retrieving complex data structures as JSON-like documents. This flexibility makes it well-suited for handling unstructured and semi-structured data.

It provides high-performance data operations, thanks to its support for indexes, sharding, and in-memory computing. It can efficiently handle large volumes of data and perform fast read and write operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

MongoDB's memory usage can be relatively high compared to other database systems. This is due to its in-memory caching and indexing mechanisms, which aim to optimize performance but may require more system resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
