    "Solid Performer, completely reliable"

    4 out of 5 stars Posted 2020-12-04

    Pros: 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.

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

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

    - Almost negligible downtime in my case.

    "Percona server for MongoDB"

    3 out of 5 stars Posted 2020-10-20

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

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

    Overall: 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.
