Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudant
We used IBM Cloudant as a distributed, fully managed JSON database for IoT use cases. API integration was a must, and all the support to Apache CouchDB made a positive difference. Overall support and documentation from IBM Cloudant were satisfactory, as well as pricing. Global availability was generally good, except for China. Availability and SLAs were never a problem and the platform has always been stable.
Pros
- API integration and support through CouchDB standards.
- Managed Services.
Cons
- Global availability, especially in Asia.
- IBM Cloudant support is generally robust, but in some occasions we had to find solutions by ourselves.
- Almost no technical people are needed in order to maintain.
- Competitive cost structure.
The feature-set, including security, is very comparable. Overall, IBM's services added to the product are mature and stable, although product support and engineers could be a little better. Global availability is improving, and Disaster Recover Capabilities are great. Overall, it's very comparable to MongoDB as a DBaaS offer, available globally and with great documentation.
