"Powerfull System at a very high cost"
2/5
What do you like best about Progress MarkLogic?

One of Marklogic's primary strengths is its ability to provide support for your data storage (as a document data-store) and well as a server for your rest services (for a data access layer).

Loved its ability to deploy in AWS via CloudFormationTemplates.

Liked its build in dashboards and Admin WebUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress MarkLogic?

Licensing cost is very high.

AWS costs to cover instances large enough to do what we needed were significant.

Amount of space required to store (xml) data seemed excessive - which translated to even higher costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
