Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Databases (formerly Compose)

We use it for our low-traffic cloud data warehousing and reporting on our HRM product. Using Compose made it relatively simple to scale up and down as per traffic. Also the pricing was quite cheap.

Provides a low-cost solution where we can place our data warehouses for multiple products. Tied in with Watson Studio it provides great utility for our data scientists.

Pros

  • Scaling
  • Pricing
  • Documentation

Cons

  • Used to use third-party providers. Not the latest version.
  • Allowed us to sell our online data warehousing solutions and analytics.
  • Provided a host of flexibility to our legacy Oracle software.
AWS RDS & Oracle OCI. AWS RDS has a wider range of databases but at a higher cost.
IBM Compose has fewer databases but is perfect for data related solutions like data warehousing (IBM Db2 AI enabled Warehouse is a GREAT product!)
IBM Cloud Databases is well suited to production grade applications, websites, low volume data warehousing, and light AI work.
