Key value pair is simple database schema so when you need some info to be stored, mongodb is the first thing that comes to my mind.

Compare to SQL there are easier aggregates function which will give you edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MongoDB- Advanced NoSQL database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Flexible Schema - In MongoDB we don't have to think about proper schema (unlike SQL databases) during application building, as our needs change we can add properties to schema.

Fast scanning in big collections- MongoDB stores data in a binary format that why its query executes very fast even in nested searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Infinite loop error- due to collections relations, while saving or updating data in another collection it gets stuck in an infinite loop.

Ram Size error- While doing a query on a large dataset, it gives an aggregate pipeline size error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MongoDB: Flexible and Scalable NoSQL Database"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

One of the aspects I appreciate the most about MongoDB is its flexibility. The document-oriented data model allows me to work with JSON-like documents, making it easy to handle and manipulate data in a way that aligns with the structure of my Node.js applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Compared to relational databases, MongoDB requires more careful planning for certain types of queries or complex relationships. Join operations, for example, are not as straightforward in MongoDB due to its denormalized approach, which can sometimes result in more complex code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

MongoDB provides a flexible data schema that makes it simple for developers to store and manage unstructured data. It is an excellent fit for applications with constantly changing data because of this property.

Scalability: When the amount of data in a cluster increases, new servers can be added because MongoDB is horizontally scalable. This makes it simple to scale programmes as data needs increase.

High Performance: MongoDB can deliver high read and write throughput and is built to manage large volumes of data. As a result, it works well for applications that need high performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Absence of Transactions: Before to version 4.0, MongoDB did not enable multi-document transactions. Earlier versions of MongoDB had limited support for transactions, however, this is no longer a problem.

Data durability: Although MongoDB's write performance can be extremely quick, the system depends on an in-memory write operation, which could result in partial data loss if a failure happens before the data is written to the disc. MongoDB features a write concern option that enables developers to specify how many servers must approve a write operation before it is considered complete in order to ensure data durability.

Restricted Aggregation Functionality: MongoDB has a robust query language, but it has some restrictions on the ability to do complex analytics and aggregations. The application layer may need to perform additional processing on some complex aggregations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best database solution for production workloads"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

As a cloud engineer, it is challenging to recommend a database to the client without understanding their requirements and goals. However, MongoDB has made providing solutions a breeze as it is compatible with most of the use cases without significant changes to the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The schema-less design supported by MongoDB can lead to challenges for beginners as moving from a schema-based design to a schema-less design involves many complexities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
