Overall Satisfaction with IBM Compose
We originally used Compose to manage our MongoDB deployment. We are a small organization and needed a cost-effective Mongo cluster. When we first started with Compose, we didn't have the engineering bandwidth to manage high availability, backups, etc. ourselves. Using Compose was a good way to get started. Setup was easy and things like versioning and backups were taken care of so we could focus on our application layer - our core competency.
- Ease of setup
- Intuitive interface for deployment management
- Clear pricing tiers and easy billing
- System monitoring - You should use mLab as precedent
- Performance - we experienced connection issues as our read/write ops scaled and had to move to another platform
- It helped us get our first applications up and running quickly
- mlab
We initially selected IBM Compose because it was easy to use and cost-effective. We switched to mLab when we need to scale and have dedicated clusters.
