Overall Satisfaction with MongoDB

We use MongoDB in a testing environment to better understand popular NoSQL databases to be able to prepare our students for development positions.
  • Ease of use in application development.
  • Schema friendly design... it looks and acts like JSON objects developers are familiar with.
  • Excellent community of developers to assist with advanced configuration matters.
  • Server stats rely on command line interfaces with text output. Visualization is available through add on applications, but it would be great to have better native reporting.
  • It greatly helps to show alternatives to relational databases.
  • SQL
There are use cases for both relational and non-relational databases. MongoDB is simply a different method of storing data, but I find it to be faster and more intuitive than relational models.
MongoDB is constantly improving the product and listening to the developer and DevOps community to integrate features into the product.
MongoDB is well suited for almost all applications. The one area that it currently struggles with slightly is for transactional data processing.
