Considered Both Products	RavenDB Lucas Recoaro Solutions Architect Chose RavenDB The use and implementation of RavenDB is way easier than MongoDB. Incentivized Helpful? Ayush Dutta Data Management Chose RavenDB First of all, Microsoft Access is also a powerful, efficient, and free database. But the feel of it, I mean the GUI is not all great for me. It is very eye-stressing. MongoDB is also a good database, it too is efficient, productive, and powerful. But, upon this, RavenDB is a … Helpful? NG Nicolas GUY CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose RavenDB The team is very nice, very helpful, and answer very fast to any answer you may have. Thanks to their help, we were able to use and understand all the RavenDB features in no time! Documentation for server and client is very clear, with a lot of use cases. Maintenance is easy, … Helpful? Parthesh Pandya Senior Marketing Associate Chose RavenDB RavenDB is just smarter than the competitors. The mapping reduction sorting is head and shoulders above everything else I've used. Nothing really approaches comparable in terms of complexity. Because of the searching of predetermined categories, read efficiency is terrible. … Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose RavenDB The company needed a cache server that was closest and the most accessible, which is why we are currently experimenting with RavenDB which gives us the option to set up our hub in a local setting. Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose RavenDB Much better support, more transparent pricing, much more easy setup process, native integration into c# / net core. We also tried to set up a Mongo Atlas cluster by self-study but weren't able to get this running. There is a much better response when searching in google, but a … Helpful? KP Kenny Pflug Technical Lead Chose RavenDB While MongoDB is in general more popular, I cannot fathom why that is. If you want ACID support (and as a developer, you'll always want that), MongoDB is way slower when compared to RavenDB. Furthermore, RavenStudio is just integrated, while Helpful? Verified User Director Chose RavenDB Flexibility and performance really set RavenDB apart. Helpful? Richard Norman Software Architect Chose RavenDB [RavenDB is] just simply much cleverer than the competition. The map reduce indexing is a league above anything else I have used. Nothing else comes close on abstraction as well. Read performance is terrifying due to querying pre calculated indexes. It is just a pity it is not … Helpful? Josh Close CEO Chose RavenDB Having ACID compliance is a big enough reason to choose RavenDB over the other products. You don't have to worry about losing your data if the plug is pulled. You're able to perform many actions within a transaction and not worry about your data being in a bad state if the … Helpful? RV Richard van Zanten CTO Chose RavenDB Installing and configuring. We had some big issues with indexing the data after the documents were created and wanted to expand the index, with millions of records this task mostly did not complete despite a dedicated server. Helpful? Georgios Diamantopoulos Senior System Architect Chose RavenDB Out of the many variants of document and SQL databases out there that we have used, RavenDB is our no 1 choice for anything but the smallest projects which can be served with a very small SQL instance. Other than that, RavenDB packs more features and is easier to work with than … Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose RavenDB The given alternatives are also powerful and really good noSQL databases but the highest availability of RavenDB allows me/us to know it a lot better. RavenDB is encrypted by default wherever we use it in production and it has a high level of documents compression. Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose RavenDB As I have said before in the previous questions ... RavenDB has a very simple clean UI, but stacks up in its power. Though new to me, I have found it to be much easier to learn and use than my previous database - Microsoft SQL Server. RavenDB's simple design and meaningful … Helpful? Sina Zaimaran Chief Technology Officer Chose RavenDB Being that ACID and cluster transaction support is a big plus against all of them. Cool prices on Azure and AWS is another plus. The ability to search between millions of documents. Helpful? Adam Nemitoff Sofware Consultant / Developer Chose RavenDB When I first started using RavenDB, I did evaluate Mongo DB but found it to be lacking. The primary issue was that Mongo DB did not support atomic consistency for the persistence of multiple documents at the same time, although I think this may not be an issue with subsequent … Incentivized Helpful? Alex Klaus Tech Lead / Architect Chose RavenDB Better .NET integration among all of them Helpful? Wallace Turner Architect/Senior Developer/Team Leader Chose RavenDB RavenDB has a richer API, has security out of the box (via certificates), produces indexes automatically and updates them when data changes. Helpful? Alan Doherty Co-founder Chose RavenDB We have evaluated or used three other databases in the process of building our product. Amazon Aurora (MySQL) Helpful? Jeremy Holt Managing Director Chose RavenDB Once I had got my head around the concept of a document database it was a happy bye-bye to SQL Server. Firebird - far too fiddly - I found myself writing a silly API to sit on top of Firebird just to do the most basic things. MongoDB - in the very short time I spent with it, it … Helpful? JH Judah Gabriel Himango Software Engineer Chose RavenDB We chose Raven over Mongo because it has robust support for multi-document transactions, first-class .NET and LINQ support, a well-designed API that has inspired imitation and has better tooling out of the box. We chose Raven over Redis because Raven is a full persistent … Helpful?

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Hibernating Rhinos If you're a.NET developer searching for a system other than SQL Server for business assessment, then you must try RavenDB. RavenDB is a fantastic document-oriented system that has been specifically developed to work with all.NET or Windows systems. Developers are continually working on such systems to eliminate their flaws while also providing a few benefits. We must refresh ourselves on a regular basis since the free software system is like an open area where anybody may stand up with a brilliant solution to the issue. RavenDB is absolutely worth a look Parthesh Pandya Senior Marketing Associate Read full review
Pros	Hibernating Rhinos Document Database - no Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch ACID support that is optimized for performance Can be easily integrated into automated tests (unit tests) Easily configurable via C# code Comes directly with RavenStudio - no SSMS or SQL Developer required In general low footprint when it comes to memory and disk consumption Useful safety nets for new developers - e.g. by default an exception is thrown when you make too many requests within a session KP Kenny Pflug Technical Lead Read full review
Cons	Hibernating Rhinos The documentation is very good, but it's sometimes hard to find the topic I'm looking for. Updating references is done manually. It would be nice if there was a feature to help with that. I'm not sure that's even possible though. Josh Close CEO Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Hibernating Rhinos We've had an excellent experience using RavenDB. Internally we are testing the newer features in 5.0 such as time series, which will effect the con specified previously dependent on the real world performance. We foresee that BattleCrate will continue to use RavenDB as we grow. Alan Doherty Co-founder Read full review
Usability	Hibernating Rhinos Really good .NET client that is very easy to use. The management studio is excellent and puts anything that Microsoft or Oracle have to shame. Very quick to develop with once the complexity hurdle has been overcome. Initially using it can be a bit painful until you fully grasp the event sourced nature of the indexing. Richard Norman Software Architect Read full review
Support Rating	Hibernating Rhinos The support is really fast and flexible. Since one single working day, we got a response to our first request, only 4 days later we got a technical demonstration for our complete developer team to get in touch with raven and its performance. Also during our development, we got a quick response to questions. Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Hibernating Rhinos The given alternatives are also powerful and really good noSQL databases but the highest availability of RavenDB allows me/us to know it a lot better.

Return on Investment	Hibernating Rhinos RavenDB has saved my customers a lot of money with their cloud services' tiered model. The database is able to grow with the project/company and can start out small at a low cost. RavenDB is free for three nodes and three CPUs, which makes it great for development scenarios. You're able to start rapidly building applications without having to worry about licensing. Scaling out has allowed us to use three small cloud servers when starting out and get the performance and throughput of a single larger server. Josh Close CEO Read full review
