Overall Satisfaction with IBM Compose
We use IBM Compose to host our caching databases. We used to use Compose for or storage databases. Compose is quick to set up and get running.
- Ease of use
- Quick setup
- Multiple database offerings
- Price is very high.
- Very limited features. Barely any metrics.
- Interface is extremely buggy.
- Many billing issues around overcharging and charging for services that were not used.
- Alerting system rarely works
- Quick MVP development
- Production downtime due to buggy alert system
- Wasted a lot of time verifying invoices every month
- MongoDB and Elasticsearch
We moved off of Compose as quickly as possible. We picked Compose at first to make an MVP while not having to worry about managing a database. Compose pricing is unviably expensive compared to other companies and is very limited in features.
