Simple, performatic and robust
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple query language and drivers make it easy to learn for adopters while still delivering the necessary power needed for complex analysis.
As a platform, it can handle almost instataneous queries over large datasets and still not give up on write performance.
Some of our scenarios analysis and use cases couldn't be performed on real time on a traditional RDMS and MongoDB empower us to do this.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you take into account the CAP theorem* MongoDB is clearly positioned as CP solution, and while some solutions such as Cassandra can be tuned to allow the developer to change it's priorities using read or write concerns, MongoDB will never let you write to secondaries, this way you cannot favour Availability over consistency, so for any application that requires instantaneous failover it is not recommendable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our latest product to be delivered with MongoDB works on enforcing call center workers schedule and monitoring all possible events on the operations, the real and alerts could not be done on the traditional platforms without a massive work on optimization and the performance we have today would be unachievable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a time to rethink your concepts on data modeling and accessing before implementing your application on MongoDB, the main idea of document storage is to model the dataset based on your application's data access patterns while most companies are used to the RDMS third form pattern that tries to do the opposite, so a mindset change is desirable when adopting MongoDB

MongoDB is awesome at what it does!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about MongoDB is that it is simple and fast. There isn't a huge barrier to entry like with RDBMS's. When I first started working as a MSSQL developer, I would go home with my brain spinning for months wrapping my head around all the concepts and challenges. With MongoDB, within the first week I was like wow, I love this, it just makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the .NET driver implementation, it could use a rework in my opinion. You have to use tons of classes to build up your queries. It would be great if it took advantage of parameterized strings and more closely followed the pattern of the mongo shell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm storing data for social analytics and writing an intranet that uses MongoDB as it's data store. It has been very beneficial to have a datastore that stores my javascript documents in the same basic format instead of having to normalize and denormalize everything to get it in and out of MSSQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend taking the free M101DEV class they offer, it will give you a great introduction to MongoDB so you can make an informed decision. MongoDB is not a one solution for all product, so understanding it's purpose will help you from using it in the wrong context and really regretting it. When used for its intended purpose it is fantastic however.
DB Developer's dream
What do you like best about the product?
Working with data in a manner that leverages my JavaScript know-how
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the absence of some sort of GUI platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data persistence in apps, data scraping and data visualization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try MongoDB today! They have superb guides and documentation to walk you through most business and real world use cases.
I'm a student, iOS, and full-stack web developer.
What do you like best about the product?
It's fast, efficient and easy to use. It's also reliable and easily works with my favourite frameworks like Rails and Meteor. There a lot of other NoSQL solutions but MongoDB is one of the fastest growing solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The syntax can be somewhat confusing when digging deep database problems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a founder of an e-commerce website.
MongoDB is great for unstructured data
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of operations, the ease of development and how well it fit into our agile IT org and our co timeous delivery model.
What do you dislike about the product?
Non-ACID compliant which has limited MongoDB use cases that might have otherwise fit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data from multiple sources that is slightly different, in a relational DB, the data model would become unwieldy quiet fast, but MongoDB was not o my more performant, but also allowed us to realize storage savings through compression.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that your use case fits. Don't try to put a square peg in a round hole. Know your data, if it's relational, you should go with a relational DB, it will be better in the long run.
The best document store
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use.
The ability to scale very easily.
The great datastructure and javascript query language,

What do you dislike about the product?
Greater speed compared to Postgree would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing large different types of data, not always structured-
MongoDB at scale
What do you like best about the product?
MongoDB structures data into collections of JSON documents. This is the most important thing I have liked about MongoDB. Also, I can get great performance out of MongoDB, even if my entire database doesn't fit in RAM. Further, we don't need to worry about messing with system collections, local, admin or config databases directly. There are administrative commands and shell helpers for the operations we will need to perform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Real time data streaming is not very efficient with this database. Also, large query time in searching through large data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making the learning process in sales industries methodical and deploying courses for them on a large scale to make the teaching interaction smoother. MongoDB is used for the monitoring of performance of people and analyzing them.
Ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
JSON like usage. Just storing/retrieving JSONs is huge for our SPA, as it just stores the objects from the front end straight to the database and back.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of relationships. Comming from a RDBMS world is hard to envision everything as isolated objects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster response times
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Forget about relationships
Great DB for start up!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, retrieval speed, don't use contrast colors for gui
What do you dislike about the product?
Make it more user friendly by using more gui
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quicker retrieval
Best NoSQL option
What do you like best about the product?
I did a great research of NoSQL document oriented databases. MongoDB was my ultimate choice and I haven't regretted it yet. I loved the online documentation, the great books, the huge community. Technically, I've been running a web application with MongoDB with 3 shards and 2 replicas for 5 months now and it's working so smoothly it scares me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being used to work with MS SQL, I miss the Management Tool application. I found some client apps for Mongo, like Robomongo, but still haven't found the one that makes me feel completely covered and comfortable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MongoDB solves every database related problem for a modern web application. Dynamic document structure, rapid searching, ease of learning, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should read a book before starting using it. There are many configuration aspects you should know from the beginning.
