When we are working with databases is very useful to manage them using a tool which allows us to query and visualize our information not only fast, but also easy. I'm using mongodb in a project and I have found some GUI tools which I think you can find helpful. Let's get started to see them.
MongoDB Compass (official tool for mongodb)

Robo 3T & Studio 3T

As a general comment I've worked with community version of mongodb and quite recently worked with mongodb enterprise as we have deployed a 5 node cluster into production at my current clients site. I do feel that compass is lacking. I kind of felt it would offer so much more than what it does. The UI is pretty ok but the functionality is so limited. It is ashame really as it's a good usage of electron as an app but just lacks the features.
We've gone back to the console to manage our crud operations and I do the same with my community version. That said other products from mongo are excellent including atlas and ops manager.
Yes, I am agree with you Compass is still a basic tool and as you said it's a little limited, but I hope it improves over the time. I put it here because it's the official tool for Mongodb thanks for your comment :).
Hi there! Just bringing this up again, because I have been recommended to use Robo 3T, but I already have installed the last version of Compass. I would like to know your opinion regarding both of them. Which one should I use better?
Thanks a lot!
i think mongodb compass is great.
