"Google Cloud performs well."
"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."
"The availability has been increased."
"Google Cloud has low downtime."
"It is stable. It is easy to learn and very straightforward."
"I like the simple features that allow me to share documents with others."
"This platform is popular with technical users because of the abilities for customization and fine-tuning performance."
"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 price of IBM Cloud is most valuable for us. The service is personable and gives us a good rapport. I can't say it's the best, but it was enough for our needs."
"The initial setup was very easy. It's quite straightforward. Deployment took about fifteen minutes. Everything is well organized."
"There is no installation for this product because it is a cloud product."
"I've found the stability to be excellent. The performance is good."
"An advantage of IBM Public Cloud is the bare metal server. We can take the bare metal server. It's not shared with anyone. We can deploy our applications without sharing them with anyone. That is an advantage of IBM Public Cloud."
"It's straightforward, has a good environment and is cost-effective."
"This is a predictable and dependable service."
"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."
"The security of the solution can always be improved."
"Uploading documents could be simplified."
"The Spanish version is in beta. It needs to be farther along."
"My only concern is that a number of the offerings are built on their own proprietary technologies which means means that, with respect to the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"If there were more documentation and training, it would be very helpful in explaining the underlying processes."
"I would like to see some improvement in the accessibility features of this solution."
"It would be nice if they could offer more free storage."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly deployment process in the next release of this solution."
"An area for improvement in IBM Public Cloud is getting up-to-date information on how to set up everything. It's hard to find new documentation."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Recently, we just faced some issues with the operating system due to the end of life of CentOS 6...So, then the client wanted to try it out under AWS instead of IBM. In short, it has some complexities."
"They do not have a very good virtual network implemented, and the VPC is the most important feature that needs to be improved."
"The initial setup and the pricing are areas that need improvement."
"There is not a lot of support for this solution, which is something that needs to be improved."
"It could be more secure."
