Flexible security options. Responsive support team. That combination of pros really made it easy to roll out the product in our test, stage, and production environments. Once it was rolled out, on-going administration with just as easy. > > **Cons**: Web console is limited to a single user account. We have been told multiple accounts is in the development schedule. > > We were able to significantly reduce our time to market by using ScaleGrid. Once we did launch we reduced our need for a dedicated Mongo DBA which effectively paid for the cost of the service. ----- ### "A very nice place to start" — 3.0/5 > **Jorge** | *1 July 2021* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: So easy to use connect and deploy a database with many different cloud providers. > > **Cons**: Mongodb Version limited. Does not allow VPC (private network) with Digital Ocean. Query analysis tools look ugly and are not responsive at all. They does not help so much. Should check what other companies offer, like MongoAtlas. You are not allowed to "Downgrade" a mongodb replica, you need to start another one (u will be billed by that) and migrate from A to B, instead of ScaleGrid downgrade it and resize. > > Was really good in general but some feature I expect to be more user friendly and are not. Users/Teams admin, VPC to Digital Ocean, Mongo 4.2 only, Query analysis not so good, not able to resize down my tier. ----- ### "ScaleGrid fills a lack of AWS and offers an easy way to manage our cluster mongo" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1/ Deployment on our own AWS account 2/ On-demand scaling (already tested twice on production) 3/ Automatic backup > > **Cons**: - High costs - Missing backup feature: I would like to automatically push backup on AWS S3 - Missing backup policy customisation: I would like to keep backup from 2w, 3w, 1m, 6m ----- ### "Easy way to implement a managed DB" — 5.0/5 > **Giuseppe** | *29 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I went from a great service from a famous competitor, but too expensive compared to using it for a project and decided to give this software a try. It allows the creation of many database versions on different cloud services and I must admit that at a low price you have an excellent result. > > **Cons**: I use the DB on linode instance and it would be nice to have pointing in time backup. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/325409/scalegrid?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/325409/scalegrid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
