Percona Server for MongoDB Reviews

Overall, it's a good product still growing in features and questionable for critical use cases.
While ease of setup/use/admin is strong points, limitations arise when we hit issues and being unable to figure out root cause or troubleshoot.
In many cases, just have to wait it out so it can resolve on its own. In many cases when db goes into a toss, unable to connect and/or run any commands in the DB.
Log spews out too much information. In a heavy used system doing tons of transactions/statements continuously, its just overwhelming to find something in the log especially when troubleshooting an issue. Maybe if could separate system and non-system (eg DML statements) into separate logs.

-Ease of install
-Easy replica set setup
-Ease of administration
-Pretty quick support assistance most of the time

-Limitations for VLDB in respect to acceptable backup runtime
-Limited debug/troubleshooting options
-Still seems a product in infancy

Overall, it's a good product with the very less debugging option, like sometimes it's very hard to know the error and sometimes showing unexpected behavior too.

- It's an open-source tool.
- Almost negligible downtime in my case.
- Increased flexibility with native format.

- Very limited troubleshooting options.
- Not very active community.

Overall it is a great product.

Native high availability, flexible data structure, Developer-friendly syntax, Easy scalability
very good documentation. Additional tools help with monitoring, troubleshooting, backups.
A sense of confidence as Percona's experts are available for resolving complex challenges.

I would have to say a bit slow sometimes. And as of this writing, there is nothing more.

Just awesome.
It is just very easy to use and manage.
It also has Failover management and most importantly it is Developer friendly.
It has various levels of Security and Access controls that control who can access only sensitive areas.

It has some of the best functionalities that you get for free.
Has LDAP Authentication and Hot Backups which just lets you free from manual backup tasks.
Also with Database Auditing, you can easily monitor the Server and Database.
Also, it is compatible with Kubernetes.

There is nothing bad about this product. It meets all my expectations!
You should give it a try and I bet you will not find any cons that will let you down.

Overall I am very satisfied with the interfaces and usage of the application. I didn't know it would be this better. Got by a recommendation from a friend.

I am using this for my current college projects and I must say it is superb. This is way better than the conventional Oracle MySQL server and is much more easy to use.

Since I am using the basics of the application, I don't clearly know about the issues but I think that there won't be much. Coz it's just amazing.

Overall very good for a developer as well as useful for students. Has the ability to enhance our work productivity.

Very good user interface, looks and feels good in user experience. Very helpful one for a developer.

Nothing specific to say that I didn't like in it.

Overall experience is tremendously awesome.
Everyone should try this as it's an open source, dropin replacement for the MongoDB.

Reduced costs.
Storing data in memory do not have additional costs.
Very high performance reads.
Very high performance writes.

I don't see any cons in my personal experience.
Only thing is that the aggregation pipeline syntax is very verbose.

I would have to say it's the best of its kind out in the market. I would highly suggest to use the product.

It's the best product you can use for commercial purpose with optimal latency and other features one would look for in a server.

Couldn't find any cons for the product. I have been using the product for over 2 months now.

Positive experience all around, simple to install and run, we hardly ever get alerts of issues on our Percona for MongoDB environment.

We've been running Percona Server for MongoDB for at least 3 years in an AWS environment, its been completely reliable, never had a Percona related issue. Performance has been steady and it enabled us to achieve several auditing requirements without purchasing the Enterprise Edition directly from MongoDB.

Minor quibbles - we had to write our own utilities to manage log recycling, would've been nice to have that included.

I recommend to use it once, I guess you will consider to that for the future in daily work load. Secondly, I you can access their articles also.

Easy to handle, support available, Integration with others possible, Handy as well as compared to the others.

Not really familiar in the market as per the current trending list.
