2. MongoDB Atlas

By MongoDB

4.5
(1215 Ratings)

Overall, MongoDB Atlas has been a great experience. It’s very easy to get started with, and the managed aspect takes away a lot of operational overhead. I’ve worked quite a bit with MongoDB Atlas, especially using aggregation pipelines and handling different data models, and it has been quite flexible and powerful for those use cases. The platform performs reliably, and scaling is straightforward. It fits really well for applications where schema flexibility and quick iterations are important. That said, there are still a few areas where things could be improved, especially around cost visibility and query optimization guidance.

Teradata VantageCloud offers exceptional technology. We are able to use the advanced analytics functions in ClearScape Analytics within the platform without ever moving our data.

The experience with Amazon has been great as it helps us with our daily tasks with faster performance with the capabilities it has. The features in Amazon Redshift help day-to-day users make life easy. As it is an Amazon product, it is easy to incorporate with other Amazon services for further use. For example: Using Amazon Redshift to query and get results from complex data, which can later pull the data into Amazon QuickSight SPICE for data visualizations and dashboard building which can help to deliver to end users the data they want to see with real-time refresh.

SAP does everything you'd want it to do, but it can be very difficult to learn the ins and outs. It's easy enough once you have proper training, but it's not the most intuitive system, in my opinion. That said, I do like the breadth it covers.
