I Ranked the 7 Best Document Database Software for 2027
TL;DR: What is the best document database software based on user reviews?
MongoDB Atlas is the best document database software with a G2 Score of 98, the highest among all tools I evaluated as per G2’s Fall 2026 Grid® Report for Document Databases. Other best document database software that made my list are:
Elasticsearch: Best for enterprise teams that need fast search across huge document sets
Amazon DynamoDB: Best for serverless apps that face unpredictable traffic spikes
Amazon DocumentDB: Best for mid-sized teams that need MongoDB compatibility with tight security
Google Cloud Firestore: Best for small teams that want real-time app data with minimal setup
InterSystems IRIS: Best for teams that want one data platform backed by close vendor support
Couchbase: Best for interactive apps that need fast reads and node-by-node scaling

ArangoDb community is free, which you can install on your computer (Windows, linux, etc.) This is what I use! I'm pretty sure you can go far with the free version... and you upgrade when you need to upgrade.
If you have BIG DATA, you can buy the Enterprise server. This can be useful for big data companies and organizations, or if you need end-to-end encryption.
You can also use Arango Oasis, which is a cloud offering (not free, because you rent a server).

MongoDB is the Database only. You can run MongoDB in your machine or in a server, but you would need to manage it.
MongoDB Atlas is the Database as a Service, and they manage the database itself as well as provide many other services - it’s worth it!
