"The most valuable feature of IBM Public Cloud is the AI integrations."
"What I like most in IBM Public Cloud is how easy it is to create serverless functions. They are called IBM functions, but in AWS, they are called Lambda functions. Those are pretty standard, and another thing I like the most is that you have fewer restrictions on the amount of data you can transfer across those functions. IBM Public Cloud is way more flexible than AWS. I also like that IBM Public Cloud is pretty straightforward to integrate. As long as you have all the tools IBM provides you, getting everything up and running is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature is integration."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."

"The deployment can be a bit of a pain. There are a lot of packages and a lot of options and it can require complex configuration to get it right."

"They do not have a very good virtual network implemented, and the VPC is the most important feature that needs to be improved."

"They could improve on customizing reporting capabilities."
"The initial setup and the pricing are areas that need improvement."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
