Formerly known as MongoDB Management Service (MMS) and before that as MongoDB Monitoring Service (MMS), Cloud Manager is a managed SaaS for on-premises MongoDB deployments.

Atlas as a DBaaS solution can provide an end-to-end solution for database management. For many use cases this may not be feasible. In this case, it may make sense to use some of the features in a pay-as-you-go fashion.

Cloud Manager has a limited free tier and several paid ones.

Here are some of the key features of Cloud Manager:

• Automated backups
• More than 100 database metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that can be used to track MongoDB's performance
• Customized alerts that integrate with third-party systems such as PagerDuty, email, and SMS
• A unified operations view, either via directly querying its JSON API, or by integrating it with popular performance tracking solutions such as New Relic (https://www.newrelic.com)

Premium plans also offer advice around performance and indexing. Cloud Manager's only requirement is to install the required agents in our application.
