Is MongoDB right for You?

Is MongoDB a good choice?

Using MongoDB can provide many benefits to a software development team. Its flexible schema makes it easy to evolve and store data in a way that is easy for programmers to work with. MongoDB is also built to scale up quickly and supports all the main features of modern databases such as transactions.

When we should not use MongoDB?

One of the downsides of MongoDB is that it doesn't support transactions. Though fewer and fewer applications are requiring transactions, there are still some that need transactions in order to update multiple documents/collections. If that's a necessary function for your team, MongoDB should not be used.

What MongoDB is good for?

MongoDB is a document-oriented database which stores data in JSON-like documents with dynamic schema. It means you can store your records without worrying about the data structure such as the number of fields or types of fields to store values. MongoDB documents are similar to JSON objects.

Is MongoDB user friendly?

MongoDB GUIs provide a user interface for your MongoDB database that gives you the ability to visualize data and edit queries without the use of shell commands (or with them — more on that later). The best MongoDB GUIs share similar features: A visual query editor: Click or drag-and-drop elements to create queries.
