ScaleGrid makes it easy to run secure, managed, and scalable Mongo infrastructure.

We were able to significantly reduce our time to market by using ScaleGrid. Once we did launch we reduced our need for a dedicated Mongo DBA which effectively paid for the cost of the service.

Pros:

Easy to use web console. Flexible security options. Responsive support team. That combination of pros really made it easy to roll out the product in our test, stage, and production environments. Once it was rolled out, on-going administration with just as easy.

Cons:

Web console is limited to a single user account. We have been told multiple accounts is in the development schedule.

A very nice place to start

Was really good in general but some feature I expect to be more user friendly and are not. Users/Teams admin, VPC to Digital Ocean, Mongo 4.2 only, Query analysis not so good, not able to resize down my tier.

Pros:

So easy to use connect and deploy a database with many different cloud providers.

Cons:

Mongodb Version limited. Does not allow VPC (private network) with Digital Ocean. Query analysis tools look ugly and are not responsive at all. They does not help so much. Should check what other companies offer, like MongoAtlas. You are not allowed to "Downgrade" a mongodb replica, you need to start another one (u will be billed by that) and migrate from A to B, instead of ScaleGrid downgrade it and resize.

Reasons for switching to ScaleGrid

Because this is less expensive and allow to use Digital Ocean. Also this does not billing by Data Transfer.

Pros:

I went from a great service from a famous competitor, but too expensive compared to using it for a project and decided to give this software a try. It allows the creation of many database versions on different cloud services and I must admit that at a low price you have an excellent result.

Cons:

I use the DB on linode instance and it would be nice to have pointing in time backup.

Pros:

After trying different MongoDB hosted solutions I've found ScaleGrid and gave it a try. Their support team is awesome and they helped me migrate my 2.x mongodb version to a new instance with 3.4 version. I've migrated my dev and prod environments in a matter of hours. Big pros: - You can use your own AWS account (BYOC) - If you have credits you can use them towards your VMs on your cloud provider - Support team (100%!) - Slow queries report (this is great to fine tune our queries) - Easy to use dashboard interface

Cons:

So far i'm very satisfied with the service and can't think of anything I disliked. I can update this review once I have something.

When you're a growing startup, ScaleGrid is a solid alternative to the other clouds

We were looking for a dedicated cloud hosting provider for our databases. Because AWS/Google/Digital Ocean lock you in via egress costs, it was imperative we found a solid, cost-friendly solution. ScaleGrid was an awesome choice. Haven't looked back since.

Pros:

Getting instances up, keeping them running, and having a steady/solid cloud platform is what ScaleGrid is all about.

Cons:

One thing I wish ScaleGrid had for their Mongo DB product was an admin UI similar to Mongo Compass, where you can make edits via a web interface.
