Compose Hosted MongoDB Reviews

MongoDB is the best DB, I have encountered so far in case of NoSQL DBs.

It is very fast and efficient.

Very easy to install on server.

Also the UI offered by Mongo Compass is very user friendly.

No disliking as per my usage. It fulfills all of my requirements.

We are telecommunication company. We basically interact with the WIFI routers through mobile application to perform operation on the routers.

So there are many parameters that we need to store in the database.

This data is unstructured so we need a database which could handle unstructured data effciently.

MongoDB is best for this case.

The best thing about Mongodb is that it uses Javascript for queries so any javascript developer can start with Mongodb with very less effort.

The community is not that strong, sometimes you need some help with specific queries but there isn't enough content available in the internet.

The downside of using mongodb is, although a javascript person can start designing the database architecture but in long term when the db expands, then there might be difficulties in scaling.

Mongodb is a No-SQL DBMS which provides the flexibility on scaling the database and prevents you from worrying about the relationships of the tables. Writing queries is much easier than SQL queries. It has a cloud platform called Mongodb Atlas, there are some awesome GUI tools to work with database like, robo 3T, mongodb Compass, robomongo(lightweight version of robo3T)

It's super easy to spin up a scalable MongoDB instance and scale it as necessary. The GUI is comfortable. The software works (usually). Reliability can be an issue though.

Compose experienced downtime and our database became unavailable, at which point we immediately sent an e-mail and were left sitting cross-legged waiting for a response for hours until service was restored. You have no control over the infrastructure and have to wait for Compose to fix any uptime issues.

Consider whether you want to have control over servers when something goes wrong, so you can fix it ASAP, or if you prefer to hand over controls of your DB to a third party company.

Spinning up a scalable, fault-tolerant MongoDB replica set without any DevOps management.
