I'm always kind of amazed at the low services number on MongoDB earnings reports. It's 4-5%. This seems unusually low for enterprise database companies.
As percentage of total revenue, MongoDB service revenue is about half compared to what Oracle generates. My guess is customer churn is much higher for MongoDB.
Hmmm. Isn't customer churn public?
Anyways, my guess is that the product is
1) much easier to use (less bells and whistles)
2) mongodb provides more configuration etc without charging for it.
