IBM IMS vs. Percona Server for MongoDB

We have built a database of a network of bank branches with all the needs of security and recovery/restart. It requires knowledge of obsolete maintenance languages and perhaps it is too rigid in the schemes.

It offers good support for the implementation of solutions in the public and on-premises cloud and integration with other services such as Hashicorp Vault for data encryption. One of the main advantages is the ease of configuration, in addition to offering transaction support for the different operations and scalability of the servers.

• Security
• Reliability
• Big volume of data and good performance

• High performance
• Integration with other tools and services
• Big data projects oriented
• High availability and scalability

• Certainly, not being a DB relational penalizes its use
• It should be more flexible
• Open up to more recent languages

• The learning curve makes it a bit tricky to use at first.
• Documentation is an aspect to improve, especially for people who are just starting out.
• At the interface level, the user experience could be improved.

One aspect to improve is the user experience since sometimes the steps to take are not clear and the user may need to review some of the actions before continuing with the next ones. Another aspect to improve is the documentation and support for developers who want to know the tool.

It offers good support for the implementation of solutions in the public and on-premises cloud and integration with other services such as Hashicorp Vault for data encryption. Also, it offers support for different compatible programming languages such as C, C ++, Java, as well as offering good support for the persistence of schema-free data and the possibility of saving data in memory.

Essentially, for a question of reliability and scalability, the performance has always been of an enterprise level. The utilities are efficient and effective.

At the performance level, it is similar to other solutions such as MongoDB and Percona Server for MySQL. and at the customization level, it offers better support for the development of specific solutions that seek good performance in transactions.

• The investment made about 20 years ago that has been fully repaid
• Reliability and security of investments
• Unfortunately, it is quite outdated and therefore maintenance costs are higher because the skills are not always available.

Incentivized

• It offers a good alternative solution compared with other open source databases.
• We have many resources at the documentation level and other tools that help the integration with different programming languages.
