Visually managing MongoDB documents and collections

I'm using MongoDB in a reporting system and have to delete a whole bunch of test documents. While I don't have too much trouble using the JSON-based command-line tools, it gets extremely tedious to have to keep searching for documents, copy-and-pasting OIDs, etc., especially from a command prompt window (ever tried to "mark" text that wraps multiple lines?)

How can I visually inspect the databases and collections, perform some simple CRUD tasks and manage multiple scripts in a proper window (not a command prompt)?

Here are some popular MongoDB GUI administration tools:

Open source

• dbKoda - cross-platform, tabbed editor with auto-complete, syntax highlighting and code formatting (plus auto-save, something Studio 3T doesn't support), visual tools (explain plan, real-time performance dashboard, query and aggregation pipeline builder), profiling manager, storage analyzer, index advisor, convert MongoDB commands to Node.js syntax etc. Lacks in-place document editing and the ability to switch themes.

• Nosqlclient - multiple shell output tabs, autocomplete, schema analyzer, index management, user/role management, live monitoring, and other features. Electron/Meteor.js-based, actively developed on GitHub.

• adminMongo - web-based or Electron app. Supports server monitoring and document editing.

Closed source

• NoSQLBooster – full-featured shell-centric cross-platform GUI tool for MongoDB v2.2-4. Free, Personal, and Commercial editions (feature comparison matrix).

• MongoDB Compass – provides a graphical user interface that allows you to visualize your schema and perform ad-hoc find queries against the database – all with zero knowledge of MongoDB's query language. Developed by MongoDB, Inc. No update queries or access to the shell.

• Studio 3T, formerly MongoChef – a multi-platform in-place data browser and editor desktop GUI for MongoDB (Core version is free for personal and non-commercial use). Last commit: 2017-Jul-24

• Robo 3T – acquired by Studio 3T. A shell-centric cross-platform open source MongoDB management tool. Shell-related features only, e.g. multiple shells and results, autocomplete. No export/ import or other features are mentioned. Last commit: 2017-Jul-04

• HumongouS.io – web-based interface with CRUD features, a chart builder and some collaboration capabilities. 14-day trial.

• Database Master – a Windows based MongoDB Management Studio, supports also RDBMS. (not free)

• SlamData - an open source web-based user-interface that allows you to upload and download data, run queries, build charts, explore data.

MongoVUE download is now available @ http://blog.mongovue.com/downloads

MongoVUE looks promising.

The real answer is ... No.

So far as I have found there is no reasonable or publicly available Windows MonogoDB client which is really very sad since MongoDB is pretty sweet.

I've thought about throwing together a simple app with WPF on Codeplex ... but I haven't been super motivated.

What would features would you be interested in having? Maybe you can inspire me or others?

For example, do you just want to view DBs / collections & perhaps simple edits (so you don't have to use the shell) or do you require something more complex?

MongoVue is the best I found till now, it has great features like database or collection copy and text mode viewing for records which is extremely useful

I use MongoVUE, it's good for viewing data, but there is almost no editing abilities.

There is a web-based project for this that is relatively early on called Pongo. It requires installing Python and some dependencies, but it should run on Windows.

If you're able to run PHP scripts you can give PHP MongoDB Admin a try. It's a single PHP script that gives you basic management and searching functionality.
