At my current company we're using it for several purposes, caching layer, documented oriented data, disparate data sets that have frequent change. In our experience as well as many others the MongoDB issues of the past have largely been fixed. I'm hopeful that people's perceptions of MongoDB will change as the product continues to address the needs of the development community while continuing to build a strong database product.

Another user of MongoDB here. Thus far it has scaled well for us where we had a similar situation where uptake was faster then expected. The WiredTiger storage engine made most of the concerns of 2012-2013 for MongoDB, non-issues. However, if you try to put a relational model in to MongoDB, you still may see performance issues down the road, but then again it should be about the right tool for the right job. I'd reiterate Ken Walger's post to checkout his blog, it does a great job of comparing MongoDB 2012 vs. MongoDB today. Also, if administration/operations are a concern, then cloud provided MongoDB is the way to go, MongoDB Atlas seems to be at the forefront since it's run by MongoDB itself. Good luck with your apps!
