Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Databases (formerly Compose)
We are using Compose.io to host our MongoDB database backing our web application. The software team that I lead is using Compose.io and administrates the database. We really don't need to do much since everything is handled for us.
- Running our database 24/7
- Update the software version
- Backup and restore
- Support answer quickly and to the point
- Migrations when adding new features
- We don't have to manage the database and can work on our application
- Backup is done all the time so we know we are safe
- Cloudant
It is pretty much the same only Compose offers many more database types.
