I'm really not an expert in either revolution, but my best guess would be 1. The German state apparatus remained far stronger than the Russian one (which had already shown plenty of cracks in the past decades and was ridiculously top-heavy) and 2. The demand for radical change in Russia was much stronger, on account of decades of incompetent reactionary rule, economic turmoil, and international humiliations, of which WW1 was only the last straw. The German Empire had, by contrast, done a significantly better job of keeping its population happy up to 1914.

I'd be interested in what more knowledgeable people have to say, though.
