Overall Satisfaction with IBM Compose
Compose is our product's primary database for our production system. Occasionally, we use it for reporting. When we do that, we typically grab a recent backup to use for reporting purposes in a non-production environment.
Pros
- Great maintenance of the database
- Failover
- Backups
Cons
- Price. $18/GB is quite a lot of money for storage these days. I realize that we get additional service including backups, etc., but that level of service for similar services, such as Heroku have a much lower baseline cost. Storage these days is quite cheap and I would like to see a different pricing plan such as $50-$75/month for SSD & failsafe and $5/GB for additional storage. Something like that.
- Support for legacy architectures. We're on the legacy architecture, and a few times now, we've been told that some issues are a low priority.I understand the need to move technology forward and to focus your teams, but the price hasn't gone down for me. I am very resource constrained and am unable to do the upgrade, but my business depends on the support that I am paying for.
- Compose has allowed me to focus on building my product while someone else manages my database infrastructure. That ability to focus has an immeasurable effect on my ROI.
- MongoLab
It has been a very long time, but at the time, Compose's customer support was incredible compared to MongoLab.
