We performed a comparison between Milvus and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the accuracy and usability."
"The solution is well containerized, and since containerization is quick and easy for me, I can scale it up quickly."
"Milvus has good accuracy and performance."
"The best feature of Milvus was finding the closest chunk from a huge amount of data."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster."
"MongoDB is scalable and stable. The initial setup is very easy, and deployment and maintenance can be done by one person."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"MongoDB has a simple data-loading interface."
"I like the schemaless architecture that it follows. I also like the sharding that it provides."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB is the ease of connections, aggregation, and queries."
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly."
"I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."
"Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation."
"Milvus could make it simpler. Simplifying the requirements and making it more accessible. It could be more user-friendly."
"You need integration with other tools to run the query in MongoDB."
"I don't see a lot of areas that need improvement."
"It should have GUI for managing clusters. MongoDB needs a more powerful GUI to manage clusters and make switchovers. Currently, there is no good, free tool to check the replication to find out if there is a gap."
"MongoDB would be improved with more integration, particularly for cloud environments like Google BigQuery."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"MongoDB can improve large-size video or media frame operations. There are a lot of customers who want to upload media frames and video games but there is some difficulty. In MongoDB, we are looking out for solutions that are for large-size media files that can be saved and navigated efficiently."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
