IBM Public Cloud Reviews

On the IBM Cloud, I mainly use their servers and their load balancer.

The availability is very good.

I've found the stability to be excellent. The performance is good.

The product can scale quite well. 

Technical support is very, very good. They are helpful and responsive.

If they continue to add more additions, I'll be very happy with it. 

The product should offer more computing, similar to Amazon. 

I've been using the solution for about a year now. It hasn't been that long. 

The stability is excellent. It's 200% stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's extremely reliable and the performance is great.

This solution scales very well. If you need to expand it, it's not a problem at all.

Currently, I'm the only one who's personally using it, to provide solutions to my clients.

Technical support has always been excellent. They are helpful and responsive. 've been very satisfied with their level of service. 

I previously used AWS. However, I have little experience with the product. However, I still occasionally use it. 

The solution is purely cloud-based, and, therefore, you don't need to worry about doing any manual or on-site installation process.

If you are an enterprise, or even just one person handling the solution for multiple clients, you will need to get a license. 

That said, you don't have to pay for licenses if you're an individual developer, but if you're handling a little more load, then you need to pay for licenses.

I'm an IBM customer and end-user. I use this product for my clients. 

I'd rate this product at a ten out of ten. I've been extremely satisfied with its capabilities so far. 

I would recommend it to all developers.

We deploy all of our developments and production environments for deploying microservices and APIs on the IBM Public Cloud.

The initial setup and the pricing are areas that need improvement.

I would like to see more support from the IBM specialists.

Support needs some improvement. Basically, you are doing it all on your own, and it's not easy.

If you want access specialists, it's always about money. You are already paying, so it shouldn't be about money. They need to speed up and start working.

The initial setup needs improvement.

It is easy to deploy what you need for the initial setup. The initial setup takes time.

Pricing is not as fair as Amazon or Azure. It needs improvement.

I would rate IBM Public Cloud a seven out of ten.

My clients' use cases are for their private data where there's concern about the data being exposed. If it is on the public cloud whether it's performance issues or issues around disaster recovery or resilience, we tend to have the data help on-prem or on the cloud and then processing done on the public cloud. 

The availability is second to none. Customer support is very good. 

In terms of performance, resiliency, and availability, it is second to none. 

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.

I have been using IBM Cloud for six years. 

It does what it says it will do. It's price competitive. The deployment is a little complex but any client that I have used it with has never had a complaint about resiliency, stability or scalability. 

We haven't had any bugs or gliches. But if you make a mistake in the setup, you will end up paying for it. 

It's easy to scale. 

The time it takes to deploy will depend on how complex the situation is. The smaller configurations can take around a day or two.

The integration is always the complex piece. 

The deployment packages should be made easier. The configuration should be easier. When you start looking at patterns in architecture, the patterns are very similar. Every client likes to feel that they're unique. If there was an easier way of deploying according to a particular architecture pattern that would be great so that you didn't have to go and configure everything from scratch every time. 

I would rate IBM Cloud a nine out of ten. The only deficiency is the deployment. 

IBM is very focused on hybrid cloud as its main strength. It is useful with other IBM products. If you want something that's out of the box and simple that you don't need to do anything complex with, IBM Cloud is too big for you. If you're looking to do any mix with anything on-prem and if all you want to do is a simple cloud deployment, it's probably too big for you. It'll be easier to do in Azure. If you want better scalability and 100% availability then go with IBM Cloud. 

In the next release, I would like to have better deployment packages. Rather than having to do the stuff from scratch, IBM has products where you fill in an online spreadsheet, you hit a button and it configures it for you. A deployment like that would put IBM Cloud ahead. 

Our primary use for IBM Cloud is checking our products, our deployment environment, and testing their dynamic/static states.

IBM Cloud supports both dynamic and static content for our applications.

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.

We went with this solution because we were concerned about our code and application security. We would not jeopardize platform security, so we went with the IBM Cloud product line.

I need a watch to describe the number of required improvements for the IBM Cloud service. We use the tools. It takes almost a day to configure each one of the work products.

Maybe performance enhancers and reports could be better improved. If they do so, it would be better. Of all the drawbacks I saw, this would be the biggest enhancement.

The IBM Cloud service is good and stable.

For the maintenance of IBM Cloud, we currently employ no one because we are still at the deployment stage. We have some servers for our products. When we deploy our products, we haven't started to integrate between the cloud and our servers. We just deployed the code on our servers. 

Currently, while deploying or running the tool in the cloud, the scan takes almost no time to complete. Other things we use are just reading the reports that are being generated from the tool.

I don't think we are planning to increase our usage of IBM Cloud currently. 

So far, according to my knowledge, we didn't contact technical support. We didn't order any testing from them, so I can't say much about IBM Cloud tech support.

The initial setup was somewhat complicated. We did the setup considering that we needed to have a tool to migrate to the cloud. 

We used IBM tools for some of the communications. It was not straightforward. The deployment took a couple of days.

We did our setup and installation right here. The workmen, students, and IT teams worked together to deploy them. We at least trained them first on how to make a run cycle and how to run the scans for the product.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate IBM Cloud with an eight.

We primarily use this solution for the ecosystem on the platform where we collect data.

The artificial intelligence helps with the analytic data and can parse information faster than you can set it up. The analysis portion of the solution is very important to our business.

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 is very stable. For me, right now, it's the best on the market.

The solution is very scalable. It's one of the best on the market. We have ten to 100 people using the solution, and about 25 of them are certified, which is quite a lot. We plan on increasing usage in the future.

We've never spoken with technical support on the phone. When we reach out it's online. If I've needed to contact them, it's been about the build and the cloud service feedback. The service is always very good and very professional.

We looked at Oracle as well. We switched to IBM because IBM had a professional approach. They cared about our business and what we could do. The way they were preoccupied with our concerns as a customer, as well as a service provider, impressed us. Their response was very fast and they came up with the best solution that they could provide for the users, so that's why we switched. They also had other technology, including the IBM Watson Cloud, which was preferable to Oracle.

The initial setup was very easy. It's quite straightforward. Deployment took about 15 minutes. Everything is well organized. It does depend on the experience level of the person using it, but even if you're not professionally trained to deal with cloud you'll find it's not too complex.

We set it up ourselves. We just used the code and we did have the assistance of someone who helped a bit with the setup at the beginning. After that, it was very easy and simple. We got a lot of tutorials from the internet and a lot of material on the website that was quite extensive. These helped with the implementation.

On the production side, we are seeing a 200% ROI. It's actually stable enough now to probably bring a return on other systems as well. 

We use the private cloud version of the solution. We have Amazon as a provider.

The solution is very stable and technical assistance is very fast in their response. The service offered by IBM is highly respected, as well as the policy of the service provided. It's the best on the market for me and my organization. There are other good open-source solutions that work, but from a service and policy perspective, I would recommend IBM.

I would rate this solution eight out of ten. I'd rate it higher if instead of making separate integrations, IBM just brought all of their solutions together. 

The most valuable feature of IBM Public Cloud is the AI integrations.

The solution’s pricing could be improved.

I rate IBM Public Cloud a nine out of ten for stability.

IBM Public Cloud is a very scalable solution.

I rate IBM Public Cloud an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support is average.

Neutral

The solution's initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The solution's deployment takes approximately six weeks.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten.

The solution is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Overall, I rate IBM Public Cloud a seven out of ten.

We are a solution provider and we have moved a few of our customers with simple infrastructures to the IBM Cloud.

For non-complex applications, the IBM Cloud works fine and the price is much lower than the competitors.

In Brazil, they only have one site, which is a big problem.

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

They need to have more options for databases.

The load-balancer and out-scaling need to be improved.

The IBM Cloud is less stable than AWS, Google, and Oracle.

The local support in Brazil is good. We have a partnership with IBM and the support that we get from them is very good.

I have experience with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google, and Oracle, and I think that IBM is the provider with the fewest number of services available. They have a long path ahead of them, in terms of services that need to be implemented on their cloud.

We had a consulting service from IBM and from the distributors, Ingram Micro, to assist with deployment.

The IBM Cloud is priced well, and much lower than offerings by the competitors.

The commercial model is different from the other providers. In order to be competitive, you have to commit to a contract for at least one year, but you pay a fixed monthly fee. This is one of the advantages because, with the competitors, the amount you pay varies every month.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We used it for an insurance company and a banking client.

There is no installation for this product because it is a cloud product.

It could be more secure.

I have been using this solution for two months.

I don't have a tangible experience of this solution, so I can't say anything about its stability.

We have about 100 users of this solution.

I have contacted them mainly about deployment.

I have stopped using it currently, but in the future, we will need to use it again. I don't have much experience with this solution, but I would recommend it to others. 

I would rate IBM Public Cloud a five out of ten.
