"Powerful NoSQL Database"
4/5
What do you like best about Progress MarkLogic?

Marklogic is a no SQL database which is platform independent, so it can be used on any kind of OS which meets it's system requirements. Thus it can ingest from any kind of source.

It can be used for various purposes like app data management, data storage and view data in a graphical manner. Sharding of data can be done and replication of data is also done in marklogic. It follows the ACID property of data base management system. Marklogic is used mainly for storing of XML received, and is considered as one of the best NoSQL tools available in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress MarkLogic?

In Mark logic, we don't have the provision of multiple user having access at the same time. In some conditional types only this can be incorporated. The programming language used is totally different (brat), which gets a bit complex for experienced people in learning new language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NoSql Database for XML"
4/5
What do you like best about Progress MarkLogic?

One of the best things about Marklogic is that it is a platform independent tool, which makes it compatible will all kind of systems, and provides an option to store their data. This being a NoSQL tool, still follows all the ACID properties making it more powerful than any other tool under the same category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress MarkLogic?

To operate this tool, user needs to start learning a new language, as it works on a totally new language, which may create problem for experienced people to learn new things, going off the track. Also one thing I've observed is that they have a conditional multiple user access, which shows that multiple user access is not so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Marklogic- Modern era NoSql DB with legacy features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Progress MarkLogic?

1.Search capability.- search queries can be fired on XML and JSON, even on semi srtuctured data. Xquey personally i like the best

2.ACID property-Currently its the only NoSql database which provides this.Another leading NoSql DB HBASE dont have the feature.

3.Both horizontal and vertical scaling is supported.- Which fulfills both modern and traditional DB features.

4.Traditional features.- Backup and recovery, level of security

5.Automatic indexing of elements.- This gives a huge boost to search performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress MarkLogic?

1.Licencing cost.

2.Space required to store data seems excessive to me.

3.The beginners will have a stiff learning curve and might have to work hard to have a hold on the tool.

Nothing much for dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great option as a NoSQL enterprise DB"
4/5
What do you like best about Progress MarkLogic?

The variety of access methods Java API like Node.js, Client API, ODBC, RESTful HTTP API ,SPARQL, WebDAV,XDBC ,XQuery and XSLT. The concept of Role-based access control at the document level is also sokmehting which I liked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress MarkLogic?

The licencing cost. That would be a dislike. Also I could not find enough connectors for Marklogic. Also the deserializing/serializing data into and out of the internal data model but then that also helps in easy retrieval, hence it cuts out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NoSQL is better and it is the future"
5/5
What do you like best about Progress MarkLogic?

As the definition of the product say,

It is a NOSQL Enterprise DB with government grade security.

It can scale vertically as well as horizontally and many options to access to the marklogic like many servers support are there.

Support to various technologies like javascript, sql xqery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress MarkLogic?

The community needs to grow.

There is nothing that you can dislike, it just very handy and Xquery can build a single tier application of its own.

Its just amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Architect and Developer for custom systems using MarkLogic"
4/5
What do you like best about Progress MarkLogic?

The system is very robust and with version 8 has removed much of the arcane manual tuning that was needed in older versions. If you are storing and manipulating XML documents, it is very simple for the amount of power it gives you. MarkLogic has excellent documentation and support ecosystem. There are usually other people who have encountered similar issues in the past and their development mailing list is active. Their recent integration with REST, JSON and node.js has substantially simplified building integrated systems on top of MarkLogic. With the recent additions of Active Directory and JSON as first-class-object, it is possible to build a system from the ground up very quickly using only MarkLogic and world-class front-end tools like AngularJS or EmberJS. MarkLogic's support for fully ACID transactions is very rare in the NoSQL market and their reliability is significantly better than anything I've encountered in the open-source NoSQL ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress MarkLogic?

MarkLogic has moved somewhat away from the pure XML world and has not kept up to date with XQuery 3.0, XProc, XQuery Update Facility, etc. They seem to prefer to enhance their proprietary features rather than implement additional standards compliance into their product. I would like to see them improve some of their basic functionality like normalizing their API and refactoring some of the more confusing areas (HTTP FORM handling, native file read/write/delete, etc.).
