Mongo interface

Question

What are some GUIs to use with Mongo, and what features do they offer? I'm looking for facts here, not opinions on which interface is best.

Were one of the answers below helpful? If not can you provide some more detail? — Justin Jenkins, Nov 30 '10 at 04:18
Use either RoboMongo or RockMongo. These are pretty cool and free — anvarik, Oct 17 '13 at 07:34
Clever phrasing about opininons ;) But the picky admins closed it anyway ;) — Offirmo, Oct 23 '13 at 15:33

For ubuntu (and possibly other distributions), see http://askubuntu.com/q/196136/79344 — Amir Ali Akbari, Apr 07 '14 at 17:31
We looked or tried nearly every one available for Mac platforms, and 3t.io/mongochef/ is by far the best. Costs $39 USD, though, unless you're using the software for non-commercial purposes. — Crashalot, Oct 09 '14 at 09:08
There are multiple GUI tools available from third parties: Mongovue, Mongohub, Robomongo, and JSON Studio. Each has its strengths, and some work on specific OSes (Mac, Windows, Linux) — Ajay Takur, Dec 10 '14 at 17:28
Hello, as I investigated whole market, I didn't like any of them. Then decided to write my own. Here you are: https://github.com/rsercano/mongoclient written in meteorJS — Sercan Ozdemir, Mar 17 '16 at 06:03

Official List from MongoDB

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Admin+UIs

Web Based

For PHP, I'd recommend Rock Mongo. Solid, lots of great features, easy setup.

http://rockmongo.com/

If you don't want to install anything ... you can use MongoHQ's web interface (even if you your MongoDB isn't on MongoHQ.)

https://mongohq.com/home

Mac OS X

While MongoHub had been a decent option for a while it's bugs make it virtually unusable at this point ...

There is a more up-to-date (and less buggy) fork of the MongoHub project available: https://github.com/fotonauts/MongoHub-Mac you can download a binary here.

enter image description here

Windows

By far, the best UI (for Windows) currently out there is MongoVUE.

http://blog.mongovue.com/

WARNING/UPDATE: MongoVUE seems to be abandoned.

Looks great, lots of features, and if you are new it will really help you get going ...

http://blog.mongovue.com/features/

Here's a Q&A with the author too if you are interested ...

I agree, I really like Rock Mongo. It works flawlessly, has everything it needs to have, and takes about 30 seconds to install. – cjroth Feb 02 '11 at 03:42
I highly recommend Rock Mongo as well. MongoVUE is not free and not as detailed as Rock Mongo – anvarik Mar 08 '13 at 13:04
how do I use MongoHQ's web interface with my own databases? – avi Dec 29 '13 at 16:25
+1 for rockmongo. Good stuff. – belteshazzar Jan 28 '14 at 11:15

Just wanted to post an update that MongoHQ's web client no longer allows connections to databases that aren't hosted by MongoHQ. – George Feb 03 '14 at 21:36
I'd recommend robomongo. It's definitely my favorite thus far – wlingke Jun 02 '14 at 21:53
Rock Mongo did not work flawlessly at all. My database was not localhost. It did not let me choose anything other than localhost on the web page login. The main readme told me nothing useful. So I googled and searched numerous readme files, install.txt files and config files (copies of nginx and php are bundled in). I searched for all files containing "servers" and found config.php buried in a subdir. I copied their lines and added my own server name and it still doesn't work. No user/pass is needed but rockmongo errors "authenticate failed". This seems like a hacked together tool. – Curtis Yallop Jun 26 '14 at 23:23
Update: To add a server, edit web\rockmongo\config.php. Copy from line mongo_name..Localhost to "$i ++;". Replace desired values esp mongo_host, mongo_port, mongo_db, mongo_name. For no auth, make control_auth false (mongo_auth should already be false). – Curtis Yallop Jun 26 '14 at 23:28
http://mongotron.io/ is a GUI that is built on a web stack – officert Feb 18 '16 at 17:51
Give it a shot: https://github.com/rsercano/mongoclient – Sercan Ozdemir Mar 29 '16 at 14:54

On Mac there is MongoHub. On Windows you could try MongoVUE.

Also see Do any visual tools exist for MongoDB (for Windows)?

Beware, MongoHub is buggy. I was inserting data with it and it wasn't showing up. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8825015/mongodb-why-are-find-and-findone-only-returning-last-array-element/ – k00k Jan 12 '12 at 21:27

Have you tried the really more developed fork [fotonauts](https://github.com/fotonauts/MongoHub-Mac)? Seems way more mature to me. – Jens Kohl Mar 16 '12 at 08:57

`MongoHub` should be renamed `MongoBug`, it's super buggy ... I can't recommend it. Crashes *all the time**. – Justin Jenkins Dec 05 '12 at 06:32
https://github.com/rsercano/mongoclient is compatible with most of the platforms – Sercan Ozdemir Mar 29 '16 at 14:54

Here's the official page of Admin UIs.

I have not really used any of them. But it looks like there is quite a bit of coverage there.

Web

At the shop where I work we use the Prudence platform for some stuff, and also MongoDB, so we of course use MongoVision a lot. Browser based, tabbed collection views, pretty-printed document editor, and three themes OOB. Open source.

_{(source: threecrickets.com)}

http://code.google.com/p/mongo-vision/

OS X

Being on a Mac, I wish MongoHub was as reliable as MongoVision. ~~It probably will be soon though, since the project has been quite active on Github as of late.~~

MongoHub is not quite active right now. – Musaffa Apr 26 '14 at 07:59
@Musaffa you are correct, but it was at the time I wrote that (two and a half years ago). I'll cross that remark out. – natchiketa May 04 '14 at 16:27
