"MongoDB and noSQL"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB cloud is a very easy to use NoSQL environment where you can set up your no SQL database instances easily and quickly without installing software in your local machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

MongoDB cloud has all the tools you want in no SQL environment but the monthly cost is somewhat high for a small project but it would be a problem if you are opt-in to the local environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mongo DB for Software Developers"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

When I used the MongoDB, the thing which I liked the most about it is that it provides the charts that shows database operations, queues, network traffic, connections and memory over time and it also provides an option to see system load on each collection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The thing which I disliked the most is there is no support for the join tables and it is expensive to use for the small scale projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best No Sql Db still out there"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I am using MongoDb for the last 3 years and I can say without a doubt that it's the best DB out there in the NoSql marketplace. Simply because of its Flexible document schemas, easy deployments/managements, and more data agnostic environment, major advantages over RDBMS DBS such as Postgres. For example, the ability to use an Array of Foreign keys is an essential part of the modern web apps but these things are not supported by the Postgres DB. Also the distributed filesystem grid fs is also one of the robust things out there for story/retrieving binary files efficiently which makes MongoDB far more advanced than its subordinates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

The DB side schema enforcement and type enforcement at the DB level is still a plus point and a primary reason why people still use Postgres over MongoDb. Additionally, the internal foreign key mapping as compared to just a string filed holding ids of foreign documents in DB is a thing I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"With relational database choices and capabilities."
What do you like best about MongoDB?

I like MongoDB it is very beneficial and important for:

1. It provides extensive indexing capabilities, allowing us to index any attribute.

2. It is favorable in terms of replication and high availability: Replication over LAN and WAN provides scalability and peace of mind.

3. MongoDB makes automated sharding easier to implement without losing functionality.

4. MongoDB is useful for queries on JSON-formatted data stored in a database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

JOIN tables are not supported by MongoDB.

MongoDB uses a lot of RAM for data storage and has document size limits.

3rd party library support for MongoDB is insufficient and needs to be improved.

MongoDB does not support transactions.

MongoDB uses a substantial amount of internal memory.

MongoDB limits the document size to 16 MB; If we have data larger than 16 MB, we must encrypt it before saving it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Scalable NoSQL Database"

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

MongoDB takes a large amount of memory and the size of the document is so small. We can only make a maximum of 16MB documents. There is no support for transaction commit as we have in most SQL databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MongoDB -One of the Best NoSQL"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

Although we have many No SQL's , MongoDB is the best of that kind with features like on-Cloud DB, and real-time sync with the Hybrid Cloud option. which supports the community, advanced enterprise version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

Have found nothing as of now, it could have been more economical to serve the needs of the business across all Industries only thing I feel is it supports a limited set of programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust, Fast, and Easy to Use NoSQL Engine"
What do you like best about MongoDB?

MongoDB is a fast, document-based database that provides us with most data needs. We are using MongoDB as our primary database for our application, and it proved to be very fast, robust, and very easy to use. The schema-less methodology allows us to change schema as needed without worrying about past changes. The "aggregate framework" is a very good solution for building complex, yet easy to understand, queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MongoDB?

As with most NoSQL databases, MongoDB does not allow for cross-table JOINs. Hence, we need to structure our data accordingly and use solutions such as the aggregate framework in order to execute complex queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing.They could improve the aggregate framework to handle JOIN much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
