We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""The availability is second to none. Customer support is very good.""It is a scalable product. You can scale it up and down.""For non-complex applications, the IBM Cloud works fine and the price is much lower than the competitors.""I've found the stability to be excellent. The performance is good.""One of the features that I really like about IBM Cloud is the flexibility where you can order your own hardware.""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."

"Technical support from Jelastic is very good.""The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research.""The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing.""The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature.""The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."

Cons
"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.""There is not a lot of support for this solution, which is something that needs to be improved.""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.""I would like to see a more user-friendly deployment process in the next release of this solution.""It will be challenging to implement if you do not have any experience.""It could be more secure.""They could improve on customizing reporting capabilities.""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."

More IBM Public Cloud Cons →

"The backup functionality needs to be improved.""For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows.""The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it.""Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products.""The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
