User Testimonials
	Amazon Athena	MongoDB Atlas
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS If you are looking to take a lot of the traditional "database administration" work off someone's plate, going with Amazon Athena certainly has "no code" options to optimize lots of database tasks. I would say this option is less appropriate if you have other Microsoft things at play, such as Power BI. Incentivized Scott Kennedy Sr Director, BI Read full review	MongoDB I would recommend MongoDB Atlas to every company who have a significant need in the NoSQL database and do not want to manage their infrastructure. Using MongoDB Atlas can significantly reduce your management time and cost, which saves valuable resources for other tasks. It also suits a smaller company as MongoDB Atlas scales up and down very quickly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Amazon AWS Nested Schemas like JSON data structure Ability to adapt the data model to fit your queries better Performance Improvement Incentivized RK Riyaz Khan Data Engineer Read full review	MongoDB DB Provisioning. DB Management. Incentivized Gene Baker Vice President, Chief Architect, Development Manager and Software Engineer Read full review
Cons	Amazon AWS Query manager can incoperate GUI based query designer Auto-completion engine sometimes overwrite the query Time range selection should be implicit Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	MongoDB As an independent entity, MongoDB Atlas is not included in existing subscriptions from AWS or Azure, requiring an additional support plan and reliance on a third party. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	MongoDB We love MongoDB support and have great relationship with them. When we decided to go with MongoDB Atlas, they sent a team of 5 to our company to discuss the process of setting up a Mongo cluster and walked us through. when we have questions, we create a ticket and they will respond very quickly Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS Amazon Athena, a product from Amazon, competes with offerings from Google and Microsoft. Overall, I think your database choice depends on some of the other applications you are running at your company. For example, if you are using Microsoft Power BI for reporting needs, you might want to consider going the Azure route. Incentivized Scott Kennedy Sr Director, BI Read full review	MongoDB MongoDB Atlas has been in the market for very long time and there are bunch of documentation, training and support for it. It also is specifically designed for the use case similar to our project and big companies in the market uses them for very high load which made us confident about our choice.

Return on Investment	Amazon AWS Easy to query terabytes of data with faster response Pricing model is also cheap No indexing and partitioning Incentivized RK Riyaz Khan Data Engineer Read full review	MongoDB Improved our maintainability Reduced daily work compared to self-hosted solutions Reasonable pricing compared to value Incentivized Nir Levy VP R&D, DevOps, and Products Read full review
