Overall Satisfaction with IBM Compose

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.
  • Easy user interface
  • Easy set up
  • Easy management of database
  • On MongoDb, not user friendly to size down the database
  • Expensive compared to other alternatives
  • Some technical messages above my competency level
  • Positive impact on time to market
  • Positive impact on database back-up and security
  • Negative impact on pricing
  • Positive impact on scalability
Other database used for the application is Heroku postgres. For our type of application it is majorly a question of data structure, security, availability and price. Compose rates well in the three first ones, less well in the last one.
Heroku, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
IBM compose is well suited for starting and growing applications or quick prototyping phase. Because it is easy to use and set-up and clear in the outcome. Easy access for a team. It is less suited for large-scale applications because of the pricing structure that makes alternatives cheaper for the final customer.
