    "Ideal choice for college students, for easy and efficient backup. "

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-03-29

    Pros: 1. Great alternative to enterprise proprietary software like MongoDB Enterprise and Ops Manager.
    2. Cheap, easy to setup, hassle-free solution
    3. Satisfies security aspects
    4. Ideal choice for college students, getting the correct functionality without a massive overhead.

    Cons: Struggled with some documentation and support issues, took me some time to figure it out on my own. Things in the documentation are very much abstract, you need to really dwell deep to understand the mechanism of it.

    Overall: Overall It was a positive experience for me, I have been using Percona Backup for quite a while now and really am happy with the services. I used Percona Backup for MongoDB for custom-built backup by Percona, As I am a college student and does not have that much money to pay for proprietary software like MongoDB Enterprise and Ops Manager but I wanted a fully-supported community backup tool that can perform cluster-wide consistent backups in MongoDB. And thanks to Percona Backup I was able to do all this efficiently without a massive overhead. Been using it from last 8 months and really happy with the product. Definitely recommend to people especially to college students who are short on budget and want efficient and cheap solutions.

    "Ideal backup solution for mongodb"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2020-12-17

    Pros: Some of the key features that I liked about this product are:
    Multi OS compatibility.
