"Breathtaking OpenSource Tool" 5 out of 5 stars Edited 2020-12-18
Pros: Being a Software Developer for me always the Backend part is a head ache issue for me. Before this I used MySQL for my clients and to be honest my clients as well as me were not satisfied with it. I need to properly Customize it carefully. But after this i find that job a bit less harder that it was being at that time.
Its Open Source , that means when ever i am facing a error i can see what is the code of source.
The Developers are really supportive in terms of problem solving.
Easy to use and much better if compared with Oracle MySQL server.
It is highly efficient and all the process happens very smoothly. In my opinion it is the best server for MongoDB.Cons: User Inferface can be improved, may be the get started session can be a bit more improved.
In documentation a video sample could be provided.Overall: Overall at the end of the day, it does the given job perfectly without any errors, if you want to use it and new to it, I suggest you to not to have a second thought and go for it.
