We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and IBM Cloud Private based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon AWS has a good Redshift database."
"Easy to upgrade, easy to expand storage and change your EC2 types."
"I like the technical support."
"It scales extremely well."
"The capacity to grow dynamically based on our needs is most valuable. We can increase resources dynamically. It is also very reliable and fast to implement."
"The payment structure is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The ease of use is the biggest benefit."
"Excellent technical support."
"We have control of the ESXi."
"The product's framework is good, it integrates well with API Connect, and the private cloud allows for use in any location."
"Our core banking process was monolithic. To address this, we transitioned to a microservices-based architecture. Leveraging Microsoft technologies, including Terminals version 23, we’ve revamped our banking operations. Not all services are microservices; some remain monolithic for simplicity. Containerization is pivotal, with OpenShift (based on Kubernetes and Docker) managing our microservices."
"The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability."
"The web console of AWS is not so user-friendly."
"The technical support can take longer than expected sometimes. They could improve on this."
"There are numerous use cases, and the setup varies from complicated to very simple in some cases."
"Amazon still has room for improvement in terms of being more mature on the monitoring side and in terms of the native capabilities. Amazon should get their services portfolio stronger on OEM-based workloads such as Microsoft and Oracle. There are a lot of areas that still do not have offerings, so there is room to grow. I would be happy if they bring more maturity to the monitoring capabilities and SaaS offerings. They are strong on Infrastructure as a Service, but they are not mature on SaaS."
"The pricing is reasonable but there is always room to be better."
"The pricing could be adjusted to provide more advantages versus current on-premise solutions for business applications."
"We have had several issues with the products and services but as of now, there are no good alternatives."
"Some services which were easy to use through shortcuts are now more complicated to use."
"I've noticed that the satellite services layer requires some improvement compared to platforms like Azure or Microsoft. While it's in development, I believe the satellite layer has room for enhancement. Additionally, the DevOps layer could benefit from closer integrations, especially for using external applications like Jenkins."
"Auto-scaling and managing pod scaling in the microservices architecture, a core feature of IBM Cloud Private, can pose challenges, especially when dealing with larger volumes of traffic."
"lacking in multi-cloud management."
"The support and pricing need to improve."
"One issue with the solution is latency because there is lag time when we connect."
