We performed a comparison between MongoDB and Neo4j Graph Database based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, InfluxData and others in NoSQL Databases."It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"It's easy to add and remove things in MongoDB. You can alter the tables. MongoDB is faster at reading, slower at writings."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"MongoDB has a simple data-loading interface."
"It stores historical data with ease. For example, if you are a healthcare member, then you will have multiple records of visits to the doctors. To store such data in Oracle Database, you have to create many records. You might also have duplication problems because your records are going in again and again, because of which the data warehouse and the maintenance cost will be huge. MongoDB is comparatively lightweight. It is a JSON extract. Once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want. It is easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB. It is also easier to set it up as compared to other solutions. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is a document DB in which you can store documents that you created in BSON. It is pretty fast in response. It is faster than relational databases because it does not define any primary keys, secondary keys, tertiary keys, and all those kinds of things."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
"MongoDB is scalable and stable. The initial setup is very easy, and deployment and maintenance can be done by one person."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"The solution should have better integration."
"It would be good to have scalability for clusters. For example, if we have three clusters, we should be able to increase to five clusters if required. I am not sure if such a feature is currently there. I hope there is good documentation for this."
"The solution can be a bit tough to set up if you don't have knowledge about how the database works."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"The product's data consistency could be more efficient than traditional SQLs."
"The solution could include more integrations with other platforms."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
MongoDB is ranked 1st in NoSQL Databases with 70 reviews while Neo4j Graph Database is ranked 7th in NoSQL Databases with 3 reviews. MongoDB is rated 8.2, while Neo4j Graph Database is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of MongoDB writes "Lightweight with good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Neo4j Graph Database writes "Lots of training and documentation and excellent performance". MongoDB is most compared with InfluxDB, Couchbase, ScyllaDB, Cassandra and Red Hat Data Grid, whereas Neo4j Graph Database is most compared with Cassandra, SingleStore, ScyllaDB, Accumulo and InfluxDB.
