To Compose or Not Compose
We use the redis and elasticsearch services. We utilize these by our application services platform. We do not have IT personnel (and don't plan to) thus we prefer hosted/"as a service" platforms/products. We may focus our energies and spend on our product development not IT operations.

MongoDB hosted at Compose - great for beginners but needs a clearer transition to more advanced users
It hosts the primary database for our API - MongoDB. I have to manage IT for the whole project, so I'm the only one who knows about/uses it. It's useful as a low maintenance database solution with good performance and decent tooling. Since I'm the only IT profile in the company, I have to be very efficient with my time, and Compose let's me offload DB admin to more qualified people.

Best Database Engine
Compose is great. Before it used to take a lot of time for me to manually set MongoDB on my servers. With Compose, I don't spend time setting anything because Compose is ready to be used. MongoDB on Compose is very stable and I am 100% satisfied with it. Moreover, I have never experienced any database issues since I have migrated to Compose.

Second to no one - we mean no one.
We use IBM Compose for several web applications that are used to compile terabytes of data across multiple databases. Our entire development group has access and work in conjunction with each other. No other product was able to be used for our particular use and the support team at Compose is amazing.

Great GUI editor for database entries!
Across organization. [It's being] Used as managed database provider, but the important differentiator is the GUI to edit MongoDB entries, which has allowed us to forestall having to build comprehensive admin dashboards.

DBaaS with Compose, the right choice
We use MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ with Compose and that allows us to focus on what we do best—building great apps. It provides us developer agility, DBA productivity, application reliability, performance, and security.
Compose is our product's primary database for our production system. Occasionally, we use it for reporting. When we do that, we typically grab a recent backup to use for reporting purposes in a non-production environment.

Save time and money by eliminating some dev ops from your stack.
We use IBM compose for our MongoDB database management for two products. One is an in-house tool and CRM and the other is a SaaS platform that we have developed. Compose takes the burden off of a small development team and has kept us from having to manage backups and data redundancies on our own. This allows us to focus more on development.

Real live with Compose
We use IBM Compose as a backend database (MongoDB) for several of our cloud services. As a hosted MongoDB service Compose allows us to run complex systems without spending a lot of time on system setup and maintenance. Backups and fault tolerance are directly available, both for production and for development databases. As an extra, security of the databases is well covered. The nuisance of IBM Compose is that it is at least a few versions behind the official MongoDB releases. This means we cannot directly use the latest features.

No DBA? No Problem! Compose is great!
We use Compose because we don't have a dedicated DBA. It's great to be able to let Compose take that stress off our shoulders!

Compose.io is pretty good!
My client uses IBM Compose to power their startup presentation software. Their application is built on meteor.js which uses Mongo DB as it's primary data store. They needed something reliable, fast and scalable, so we went with IBM Compose. Compose was incredibly easy to set up, and billing is straightforward, easy to understand.

Great for starting out and easy to use.
Our organisation is a fairly-young startup, which is in the business of producing and selling SaaS/web-based software solutions to organisations.
IBM Compose PostgreSQL serves as the main data store for serving our cloud-based application and storing customer data.

Fire-and-forget super stable deployments. Need cross-region replication/failover for true scale.
We use IBM Compose as a back-end storage for the content that drives our apps.

Compose has tremendous focus on a great product
All of our products and services are built upon on it.

Expensive, buggy, and not viable for long-term use
We use IBM Compose to host our caching databases. We used to use Compose for or storage databases. Compose is quick to set up and get running.

Compose (use for MongoDB)
We use Compose (formerly MongoHQ) to host our MongoDB databases for a variety of products, clients.
We like it because it is standalone, secure and has an easy to use management and control panel.
January 26, 2018
Fast but expensive
We use it for quick projects that require a database. It’s really easy to set up and the UI and automatic backups are great. However, we don’t use it for production stuff because it’s vastly more expensive for large datasets.

Why you should use a Compose database for your Start-up
We made the decision very early on to use Compose for our database infrastructure. Compose looks after our database infrastructure, backups and scaling so we can focus on building our products, knowing that the database will just work. The pricing offered by Compose was also the most competitive that we found for our chosen databases.

Launch your startup faster and cheaper
We use IBM Compose to host our Mongo database, which is used for almost all of our data storage. It allows us to bypass all the database setup, administration, and scaling efforts of running Mongo ourselves. Instead, with a few buttons on IBM compose we can scale our database as our company's data grows.

Compose + MongoDB
Compose is my DB of choice for all my web and iOS applications. I am a MongoDB certified developer and have used ibm compose with Mongo to develop web services which provide permanent storage for iOS applications.

Cadillac solution for hosted MongoDB
We use Compose for their hosted MongoDB as well as ElasticSearch - to power our website as well as internal apps within our organization. Compose is our favorite hosted database provider, though pricing could be a little softer. Ultimately we are very happy with their product and service and glad to be a customer.

IBM Compose MongoDB review
Used as main database for marketing survey software application. Database used in MongoDb. The software is used by marketing departments of African FMCG companies for market presence analysis it helps to geolocalise data and collect data from the researchers of the sales representatives of the companies using the software. Users can collect their own data independently.

IBM Compose - Great for enterprise microservice solutions
Easy to set up and nice solution. Would recommend for microservices and projects that are not your core application. Very easy to set up. We use it across a number of our enterprise clients and have never had any issues. The IBM team is also helpful and we're in direct contact with a number of engineers that help point us in the right direction when we have questions on how to best use their cloud service suite.
Compose provides a reliable database for our main app. We rely on it to secure our data and provide a robust base for our software platform. It allows us to focus on the app itself and means we don't have to worry about managing our backups and uptime. The replication and sharding mean that even if there is a failure, we will not lose data.
