We used Mongo to host some incoming user data on one of our portals. We needed a solution that could host variable length data where the format could change semi-irregularly. Mongo was both quick to implement and reliable in use and has caused us no problems once we finished all the configurations. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros MongoDB was our go-to solution for a NoSQL database due to the ease of installation and simplicity. We had used Mongo before for smaller projects but decided to use the MongoDB Atlas service to have a reliable instance online. Using the hosted version alleviated a lot of the configuration issues we had experienced also, although it isn't required to use the hosted version depending on the use case. #### Cons The visualization aspect of Mongo constantly was an issue for our team. We wanted to display dashboards of our data through a variety of methods but most were difficult to implement using Mongo, or were simple/slow at best. There was also a lot of trouble trying to connect MongoDB Atlas with our AWS VPC, specifically so that our cloud functions could access it. #### Reasons for choosing MongoDB We previously used Mongo for an original version of our project, and when considering alternatives we decided to stick with what we were used to. --- ### Java developer on MongoDB. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Excellent NoSQL database that beats the query speeds of RDBMS. In case one is having budgets to choosing a NewSQL databases would be wise choice. In all MongoDB wins on aggregation queries with even on billions of documents. One needs to spend enough time working with MongoDB queries to harness the power of aggregation thoroughly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The speeds at which the aggregation queries are churned by the database cluster running on 8 GB virtual nodes. #### Cons The enterprise versions are pricey. The license cost is dependent on cluster sizes and data ingress costs are additional if the cluster spans a data center. #### Reasons for choosing MongoDB MongoDB wins on aggregation queries with even on billions of documents. --- ### MongoDB is my choice of nosql / document database for paired use with Node.JS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Libraries - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I needed a free but industry standard database for my Node.JS based library management application. MongoDB was just what I needed, I did consider MySQL but I wanted to try nosql / document orientated. It has been fantastic - it's hard to believe productions like these are free for all. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love how MongoDB integrates with code in such a way that queries look just like any other code. I also love how the documents from MongoDB are returned natively to Node.JS as objects without any mapping at all. MongoDB is an intuitive and very performant database, I recommend trying it if you haven't. #### Cons The big thing with MongoDB you have to get your head around is the whole redundant data thing - it is usually recommended that you store a lot of redundant data in your documents instead of having data normalised with relationships as you would in a relational DB. Have redundant data can make your query code really simple, but it can make your update code very complex / cumbersome. However, you can opt out of this approach and use MongoDB with relationships - I would recommend using Mongoose (an npm package) that will handle a lot of the work with relationships for you. #### Reasons for choosing MongoDB I wanted to try nosql / document orientated. --- ### Amazingly Flexible Database Capability - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tyson H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I don't usually rave about products, but I do about MongoDB. * MongoDB's schemaless document-centric approach to database makes it easy to store any kind of data I need to, even subdocuments and array fields with minimal fuss within code or tools. This allows for a lot of flexibility and makes it easy to upgrade or refactor existing software. * MongoDB's indexes provide amazing performance even in a schemaless world. Simple and compound indexes, as found in the relational database world, are just the start. Add to that multikey indexes (indexes over array fields), string and geolocation indexes, and indexes where entries expire documents with time. Mongo has it all. * MongoDB's approach to scalability - using replica sets for high availability and fault-tolerant failover and sharding databases over a potentially large number of servers - makes it easy to scale huge amounts of data without overly expensive hardware and failover complexity. * MongoDB driver support is available for a variety of languages. * Mongo University, free graded courses covering various aspects of MongoDB from development to administrative activities to security, etc., offers a solid path to learning. #### Cons I'm a huge proponent of MongoDB but because of the nature of schemaless document-oriented databases, there are still some problems for which a relational database is still the answer. There are some applications and technical domains where relational databases still have a huge lead over Mongo for performance. --- ### One of the best NoSQLDatabases out there. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rohan D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is free and open source. Wide range of storage engines Great aggregation framework #### Cons MongoDB joins are slow at high data load and maybe a few alternatives to implement relational joins in a more effective way. #### Reasons for choosing MongoDB It is one of best, performant no sql databases out there. --- ### MongoDB is great but it AWS is coming for them - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Eric R. B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have used MongoDB across multiple companies because of the reliability, the strong security and backup procedures, and the exceptional team they have supporting their products. However, I am concerned that with Dynamo being solid now, MongoDB won't have much of anywhere to go. We used MongoDB with AWS for a long time and now it's just easier to also use Dynamo. This is a shame because Mongo's team is exceptional. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros MongoDB's support for setup and when we have run into problems was the best part about using Mongo and why I've come back to it many times. #### Cons MongoDB has good relationships with other providers but the fact that it's not part of a larger suite of cloud-based solutions is a shame. #### Reasons for choosing MongoDB Team and pricing. #### Reasons for switching to MongoDB MongoDB pricing and support. --- ### A NoSQL Database using MongoDB - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros MongoDB is a well-known choice for NoSQL Database and it can be used for free as well. Perfectly suited for a personal project or small project because we don't have to pay anything. #### Cons One thing that I feel annoyed about is the IP whitelist requirement in order to access the Database. Because my IP is dynamic it will be changing the address each time, I access the Database. #### Reasons for choosing MongoDB Great features and has a good integration with many tools / products. #### Reasons for switching to MongoDB Need to use a NoSQL database in my project --- ### One of the best NoSQL alternatives to traditional row/column RDBMSs - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. While my company uses the Microsoft stack (.NET/IIS/SQL Server) for our enterprise development, we use a MERN (MongoDb, Express.js, React and Node.js) stack for most of our internal development (Intranet, sales reporting, ETL, automation, etc.). MongoDb is a key part of the flexibility of this stack, allowing us to model dynamic and complex data very quickly -- a huge advantage working in an agile development environment with short dev cycles and heavy reliance on iteration/refactoring. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Being a NoSQL, document-based database, MongoDb allows me to think about data NOT in terms of rows, columns, tables and keys, but in terms of complex hierarchical JSON-like documents that very closely resemble how the data is presented and used. This is incredibly valuable when quickly stubbing out a new app's feature set and the data requirements for it, with the added advantage that MongoDb works seemlessly within a MEAN/MERN development framework. Also, the learning curve is greatly shortened by MongoDb University, which is a free set of training courses taught by MongoDb, Inc., Engineers. It's an amazing free resource for the neophyte Mongo developer. #### Cons Because MongoDb doesn't have a schema, deeply nested objects can become needlessly complex if the developer doesn't have a strong understanding of hit/her data. Queries requiring joins of complex object structures can be slow in non-optimized, under-powered environments. --- ### Best No SQL Database - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Wishwa P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I am utilizing MongoDB for deploying and storing document database which is one of the most significant categories of the NoSQL DB. Indeed, it encapsulates the data in BSON which is similar to JSON but with a BSON id. Moreover, MongoDB offers a very significant functionality, it supports the file storage. Unlike the relational database, it exempts the data from having a required schema. It provides libraries in numerous languages (i.e., java, python...) to connect with it. #### Cons I have not experienced any difficulties when working with MongoDB, however when building a sophisticated query with multiple joins it takes more times and it is normal as it is not a relational database. --- ### Next generation database - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, it is the best database ever. I worked with Graph Database, and SQL Database. But I most like MongoDB. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Unlike, SQL databases, we can store direct JSON object in MongoDB. Also, can store mapping values in one collection. e.g. we can store all property related to a user in one document. #### Cons Nothing for dislike. In MongoDB, We can not be mapped with 2 collections. --- ### A great not-too-NoSQL database - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Diego C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I personally used it in project since the day it came out, and honestly some things were really bad, but the biggest barrier was in my teammates head as they rejected the innovation it represented at the time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros MongoDB has been a great product from the start as it brought the simplicity of the NoSQL movement against the old SQL/RDBMs "monsters", but also bringing a host of functionality that made it possible to use it immediately and without too much work in respect of the old RDBMs mindset and feature set. Setting it up even in a complex environment remains relatively easy, and also using it it's quite straightforward for developers. 3rd-party libraries and framework support is constantly increasing as well. #### Cons It has a history of bugs and weird things that made it look bad to some people. --- ### The de facto standard for document-based NoSQL databases - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ramindu D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. MongoDB has made it very easy to rapidly develop and deploy applications that require a document-store based NoSQL database solution. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros MongoDB is the most widespread solution available in terms of a NoSQL database that manages data as a document store. It provides all the best features a NoSQL database should have to offer: clean and easy setup, simple syntax, as well as advanced features such as map-reduce and scaling capabilities. The BSON document type maps beautifully with the JavaScript stack, making it simple to wire up an application with a nodejs backend and any popular frontend JavaScript framework. #### Cons MongoDB can be hard to set up to support auto-scaling environments, and the best provisioned hosting options are quite expensive. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/bi/mongodb-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- MongoDB Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
