Sergio Aguero scored his 100th Premier League from an offside position to give City the lead, but Vurnon Anita's fine individual effort drew Newcastle level, and the relegation-threatened hosts even had chances to win the game in the late stages.
Man City are fighting off Arsenal and Manchester United for third place, but Kompany said the single point at St. James Park was acceptable.
"It was a tough game, they are playing for their lives," Kompany said. "You wouldn't call it a bad draw. We need to win as many games as we can but I have seen a good Newcastle team tonight. It was a hostile environment and not a bad result.
"The hardest part of coming back from injury is getting back to the level of the Premier League. The more games you play the better you will feel. Overall it was a positive day."
Kompany also hailed the work of Aguero, who became the second-fastest to record a century of goals in the Premier League in just 147 appearances.
"Sergio Aguero has been a major player for us and there are not enough words to describe how important he is," Kompany said.
"We just hope he can carry on his career like this, it's hard to come across a player who can have such an impact on games like he does."
