Mongo Compass was a great GUI, that helped me first step into working with databases. When I first used MongoDB, I was a front end focused software engineer. When it came time for me to learn how to build projects with databases, MongoDB and Compass was the tool that helped me start learning quickly and the gain confidence.

The non relational nature of MongoDB is probably both it's strength and it's weakness. I think if MongoDB could find some way to enforce typed Schemas and relationships in the way that SQL databases does, it would help a lot of software engineers. I understand that there is speed that comes with a non relationship DB, but having the write out a scheam and relationships forces the engineer to think through their database design. It feels like why Typescript, is better than using Javascript is almost all cases. In the begining a new engineer might complain that Typescript is slowing them down, but in the end it is the best choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
NoSQL is a low-cost, flexible, and easy to use and Implement Database, and MongoDB is one of the best for both small and large Databases. It also supports Vector search now. It has MongoDB Atlas which is a Cloud native service. We can integrate it with almost all backend languages and services. I use it in most of the projects. Customer support is also good.

For complex operations and function driven tasks, there are better alternatives. Also for vector search, I think databases like Pinecone are more suitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using MongoDB for the past 3 years and I like the flexibility of storing data in JSON like BSON document storage. Compared with other Databases we can easily build powerful queries and indexing capabilities. This DB gives me high-performance and failover solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MongoDB stores data in BSON format so storage is consuming. Data consistency might not suit all applications. Lack of enforced schema structure so managing and maintaining data more challenging compared to traditional databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MongoDB stands out for its flexible schema, scalability, powerful query language, ease of use, and active community support. Its schema-less design allows dynamic data structures, making it adaptable to evolving applications. MongoDB’s scalability and efficient handling of large datasets make it a popular choice. The expressive query language and straightforward setup contribute to its appeal. Keep in mind that MongoDB’s strengths align with specific use cases where flexibility and scalability matter most.
