About MongoDB
MongoDB is a database management software that is designed for organizations in several industry segments, including media, technology, healthcare, retail, hospitality, telecommunications, finance, education, energy, and public services. It helps developers build applications and utilize the built-in tools to visualize, manipulate, and analyze data.
MongoDB enables administrators to provide a secure user experience by setting up role-based access rights, dedicated firewalls, authorization protocols, and transport layer security (TLS) based encryption. The data explorer allows staff members to run queries, monitor index usage, access collections metadata, and interact with data. The charts module lets team members create visual graphs and assemble and share dashboards with co-workers to facilitate collaboration across activities.
MongoDB comes with an API, which allows businesses to integrate the system with several third-party solutions such as Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, and Qlik. MongoDB Atlas allows developers to build deployment clusters by defining usage region, instance size, and memory requirements across several cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.

The first decision about whether to use MongoDB or not is whether you need a relational or non-relational DB. Once you decide a non-relational is best for you project, then MongoDB is a solid choice. It has the ongoing support of a professional team and is widely used in the market, especially for projects utilizing the MEAN stack. This makes it easier to deploy than other solutions.
Pros
MongoDB is incredibly easy to set up and use. The fact that non-relational DBs are better for more unstructured data, makes it so that you don't necessarily have to know exactly what the end state is going to be before building your schema. Its data throughput is also a key differentiator, so anything with Big Data is going to be a good fit for a non-relational DB and MongoDB, in particular. Finally, the team behind MongoDB is constantly improving the product and releasing updates, and there are several good data viewers in the market, including one from Mongo, for viewing the data and creating queries.
Cons
Creating metrics dashboards can be challenging due to the potential need for JOIN queries in your data. Anything that contains these will be harder to aggregate. Their aggregation framework can be hard to use and limiting for certain requirements.

MongoDB - The Best No-SQL Database!

I used MongoDB in a laboratory environment, adding access levels for users to access the data remotely. I also interacted with the database a lot and it was way easier to create and manage it. Furthermore, I never experienced a server-crash whilst accessing the data, which is fairly common for most other no-sql databases. Even-so, it just proves that it manages the memory well.
Pros
MongoDB has integrations with almost all computer languages used today, with even having an integration with Erlang (a very rarely used language). The drivers are easily available from open source contributors and works amazingly well. For a No-SQL database, it is amazingly well managed and easier to use in almost all other languages.
Cons
Its sort of confusing to manage the access control levels of the users, as it is all stored in json file. If there was a way to sort of make this process graphical or interactive, it would have reduced many access threats in a database.

Redis EnterpriseReasons for Choosing MongoDB
We felt CouchDB was sort of expensive in comparision to MongoDB in terms of features offered and the rate limits. Furthermore, CouchDB was difficult to use in a production environments for most of our researchers and students.Reasons for Switching to MongoDB
We all had first-hand experience with MongoDB and it seemed easier to use/setup than the other two databases.- Industry: Building Materials

Pros
The ease of use. JSON type document helps me to scale my database model as the application is growing. Along with the powerful query language of MongoDB it's so easy to pull data from the data.
MongoDB also gives free 500MB is space without giving any credit card and I found that very awesome!
Cons
I would like to see the compass getting more powerful and having many more features.

I've launched a few products that use MongoDB and have been very happy with the performance and scalability.
Pros
MongoDB integrates very well with JS-based server code. It's fast and its dynamic, NoSQL nature allows for a lot of flexibility and creative use.
Cons
As MongoDB isn't as ubiquitous as other solutions like MySQL, there's a bit less tooling available and some IaaS platforms treat it as a second class citizen.
Reasons for Choosing MongoDB
As our next project was using JS, we went for the deeper integration that MongoDB offers.Switched From
