MongoDB, for big unstructured data, it just works. | TrustRadius

Overall Satisfaction with MongoDB

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Denver Development team is using MongoDB in an application they wrote, and it's collecting big data associated with the application's users. A SQL Server was formerly capturing this type of data and that's not a great platform for big data. They set it up, configured it, and got it working, all I have to do is the administration work required by SOX.

Pros and Cons

Pros

We're using it to capture/store big data
Easy setup and configuration by developers

Cons

The administrative interface isn't terrific, but it does work.

Return on Investment

Much cheaper than SQL Server
Low overhead cost, i.e., setup/config/admin

Alternatives Considered

Also, using DocumentDB, and both are good, each was chosen based on the developer's expertise. So take advantage of in-house skills.

Other Software Used

Microsoft SQL Server, Azure Blob Storage, Azure SQL Database

It's in production, and it's working very well, it's affordable, why would we switch?

Likelihood to Recommend

While we don't and wouldn't use it for transactional data, it's an excellent tool for collecting big unstructured data.
