Ventana Research has published an Analyst Perspective on MongoDB, highlighting its role as a cloud data platform provider. The report notes that MongoDB's non-relational database is gaining popularity due to the shift towards modern, cloud-based platforms. Cloud-based services are also becoming increasingly popular, with businesses relying on flexibility and availability of cloud-native data platforms to build competitive products and deliver personalized experiences. As applications become more advanced, operational database requirements will only become more demanding, making a comprehensive platform like MongoDB Atlas essential for success. Convergence is driving innovation, with non-relational databases adding relational features and relational databases offering compatibility for non-relational data models. Companies are increasingly opting for hybrid and multi-cloud models, leveraging exclusive provider features to improve availability and migrate data across clouds without downtime. Non-relational, cloud-native databases are becoming more powerful and attractive to customers, thanks to convergence and competition, offering real-time analytics, rich visualizations, and mobile data sync and storage.
