"The solution is easily scalable and manageable. Tools can be easily added to the solution.""It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data.""Our databases used to be in-house. Now, they are in the cloud with MongoDB and everything is much easier.""Being schemaless is what I like best about MongoDB Atlas.""The cloud-based nature of this solution makes it flexible and scalable.""MongoDB Atlas is a platform as a service and it has proven to be particularly valuable due to its self-managing nature. This has allowed us to minimize the amount of time and effort required to manage it, as it effectively manages itself. Additionally, it is a complete solution when looking at its features.""It enables us to get work done quickly and get to our data.""The most valuable feature is the schemaless architecture."

Cons
"Querying a dataset is not very intuitive, so I think that it can be improved.""We had some edge cases where scalability was an issue where a node went offline, and we had to deal with that.""MongoDB Atlas should improve its user experience by providing better explanations or a wizard for people working with its UI.""A few areas that we have noticed as being problematic with the MongoDB Atlas include user access to the platform. Currently, it is difficult to restrict and control what actions a user can perform within the solution, which poses a challenge from an internal auditing perspective.""The replica side, like the venue, can be improved.""MongoDB Atlas should add more APIs in their Terraform module because sometimes I find it difficult to find the resources in their Terraform model.""I am still new with it, but since I mentioned that I'm using this product for only the last six months and my experience with this product is good thus far, on a scale of one to ten, I would give MongoDB Atlas a six.""The product's file storage documentation needs improvement."

More MongoDB Atlas Cons →

"Oracle Database as a Service is very convenient to use. However, we need to know to which schema we want it to connect specifically, and what are the username and password. The solution requires some basic knowledge of SQL RP and SQL Oracle to use it.""Oracle Database as a Service could improve the provisioning. You have to recreate on-premise hardware environments in the cloud, it was not very intuitive.""The initial setup is complex. This is not a really easy solution. It is very large, so it's hard to install, but it's not impossible.""On the cloud services, they need to improve some console-level items, including the logging of the databases on the console level.""I have had a hard time finding some documentation. There should provide easier accessible documentation for Oracle Database as a Service.""The solution provides the same type of RDBMS engine for all use cases. They need to provide different products that will be suitable for all use cases. The solution does not support the documentation of databases.""Oracle Database as a Service could improve by reducing the price.""The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing and licensing is great."
  • "The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
  • "In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
  • "It is too expensive. They need to work on this."
  • "The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
  • "Pricing could always be better."
  • "We're currently using the Atlas for the night and don't require a license. However, it can be a problem if you want to use their enterprise environment. Then you need to purchase the license."
  • "The solution is expensive overall. It does not require a license but if you want the support then you will need to purchase the license. They use a pay-as-you-go model and you are able to receive some discounts by making longer usage commitments."
  • More MongoDB Atlas Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors."
  • "There should be a standard way to license the database in a virtual environment (e.g. VMware) and there should be a low-end version (like Standard Edition One) again."
  • "The price depends on the solution you choose: standard, enterprise, or high performance. For example, enterprise can start between 0.4 an hour up to 1,800. Additional fees also depends on what package you choose. Your feels will be different if you choose the standard, enterprise, high performance, or extreme package. You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases."
  • "The pricing may seem expensive, but the value corresponds to the quality of the product."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive."
  • "The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."
  • "I do not know firsthand about the price of Oracle Database as a Service, but it is known that Oracle solutions tend to be priced higher than competitors."
  • "For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
