Relational modeling is typically driven by the structure of available data. The main design theme is ”What answers do I have?”. NoSQL data modeling is typically driven by application-specific access patterns, i.e. the types of queries to be supported. The main design theme is ”What questions do I have?”

Redis and mongodb users might be somewhat surprised to learn that, by default, they can lose your
data should the process crash or shut down. While you can configure them to work around this issue,
you're going to slow things down substantially doing so and therefore lose the big advantage they've been designed to provide.

Searchability (I couldn't think of a better term) - Key-value stores are typically not designed to be easy to search.

This may appear strange at first, but remember that we are only able to access data by key!
It's not possible to tell Redis to return the key that holds a specific value. This is also our strength,
this new paradigm is forcing us to organize the data so that everything is accessible by primary key,
speaking with relational DBs language.

Cons

Client-side sharding (consistent hashing or custom distribution strategies)
Data must fit in memory
Pipelining is great

Scalability

    Most important feature of Mongo is that you don't have to modify application code to switch to sharded setup.

Redis is roughly faster than MongoDB: 2x write, 3x read.

Why?
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Use+Cases :: Use Cases - MongoDB

MongoDB keeps as much in memory as possible while still keeping it usable. I make this point
because Redis provides the speed of memory but without the tools you would find in an SQL database.
