"I like that it is free. It's easy to use, and it's reliable."
"The features I found most valuable are the cloud run and cloud function."
"This is a solution that's so easy to expand when you need it to. It's the best I've ever seen. It's much better than Azure."
"We can increase the storage as we need."
"Google Cloud's most valuable attribute is its capability for on-demand auto-scaling, and it also simplifies numerous intricate tasks for its users."
"It's robust, and it has a wide reach in terms of office applications including storage."
"The availability of content on the solution is very valuable."
"This is a predictable and dependable service."
"For non-complex applications, the IBM Cloud works fine and the price is much lower than the competitors."
"It's straightforward, has a good environment and is cost-effective."
"This product is very good because it is accessible in remote locations, and anyone can deploy from any place."
"One of the features that I really like about IBM Cloud is the flexibility where you can order your own hardware."
"The beauty of cloud service providers, especially public cloud service providers, is that they are scalable every time when you need them because their payment model is pay-as-you-go."
"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."
"I've found the stability to be excellent. The performance is good."
"The solution should be more configurable for high-volume databases."
"The Spanish version is in beta. It needs to be farther along."
"They could always offer even more storage at the base level."
"The analytics that they have are very focused. It serves Google and not really the client."
"The management side for the database needs some work. Currently, you do everything from the APP. It would be nice to have an interface where you can go in and maintain data and deal with records and do something online."
"Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"Its integration with one of the third-party platforms could be better."
"I would like to see more code generation features that enable you to take user input in simple English and automatically convert it to code."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly deployment process in the next release of this solution."
"Normally, for any cloud, we get a lot of information on the web, but that is missing in the case of IBM Public Cloud. We need some technical support documents. That is the only thing missing in IBM Public Cloud."
"The product should offer more computing, similar to Amazon."
"It will be challenging to implement if you do not have any experience."
"They could improve on customizing reporting capabilities."
"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."
"The solution needs to be more autonomous. It should let the DL go to allow for more jobs on the cloud. It could have a better interface as well."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
