Overall Satisfaction with IBM Compose
I am part of a two man team behind a small social networking application for a niche community of nearly 2000 users. As the main technical developer, I am the only full-rights administrative user associated with my account and my partner has been given a billing management role.
Our only service is a Mongo Classic instance that is used in production as the database for a Meteor Javascript application that runs on mobile (via Cordova) and on the web.

- Provisioning was incredibly easy.
- Regular back-ups with one-click restore gives me tremendous piece of mind.
- Managing user roles from the Compose admin panel is easier than using Mongo's CLI.
- I don't see an easy option to upgrade my account from Mongo Classic to modern Mongo.
- My Mongo instance was unreachable for a brief period of time and I wasn't contacted regarding the outage.
- I use Compose for a hobby project which does not make any money. I did, however, spend less time signing up for Compose than it would have taken me to deploy Mongo on AWS or GCP.
I did not evaluate any other DaaS hosts.
