Overall Satisfaction with IBM Compose
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.
- Their support is attentive and professional. With a name like IBM behind the product now, I would expect nothing less.
- They continue to expand their product offering which is great, because it's nice to have less providers to deal with. For instance, we may move our Redis over to Compose now just so we don't have to manage multiple provider accounts.
- A cheaper starter plan/developer plan would be nice. They used to offer a cheaper plan but not anymore... not a big deal (it's still reasonably cheap) but I do feel like I'm paying a premium to develop small projects with Compose.
- Overall, pricing seems to be climbing, and they seem to be tailoring the product more towards enterprise users. I hope they won't leave a small startup like us behind and force us to switch to a new provider.
- Easy, fast, and reliable - exactly what we wanted from a hosted DB provider. We can focus on building our app without worrying about the little details.
- Though a bit pricier than competitors, we figured it's worth it because Compose is a delight to use - particularly the GUI for browsing MongoDB.
