Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Databases

We use IBM Compose as a critical component of our IT infrastructure for hosting a cluster of MongoDB instances. This enables us to store off-site user and application data with excellent performance and high availability. The range of options provided by IBM Compose allow us greater choice of technology versus competitors and the ability to instantly scale our offerings.
  • High availability database-as-a-service
  • Vast range of supported technologies
  • Ability to instantly scale resources
  • Menu options in the platform could be consolidated better
  • IBM Compose has remained viable for businesses I've worked with at a smaller scale, and has no problem scaling to higher demand
  • The only place I feel IBM Compose has held me back is in producing low latency solutions across all geography, its current AWS / IBM Cloud / Google Cloud data centres could be expanded upon
Based on my experience with IBM Compose, I continue to recommend it above every database-as-a-service I've had the opportunity to compare it with, and in most cases would also venture with this platform over self-hosting with, for example, AWS DynamoDB.
