"The infrastructure is easy to manage."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"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."
"This is a predictable and dependable service."
"It is easy to deploy what you need for the initial setup"
"One of the features that I really like about IBM Cloud is the flexibility where you can order your own hardware."
"This product is very good because it is accessible in remote locations, and anyone can deploy from any place."
"The availability is second to none. Customer support is very good."
"The ease-of-use could be improved for less technical users."
"They could integrate artificial intelligence into the applications."
"The product should be more cost-effective."
"Lower pricing would make Google Cloud better."
"I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price."
"The solution could improve by being less expensive."
"When companies grow at a larger scale, they may shift to a different cloud services provider like AWS or Oracle."
"Could provide more services."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"While they have about 99% of what we need, the only exception, perhaps, was the push notification feature that was discontinued. They delayed the replacement product."
"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."
"They could improve on customizing reporting capabilities."
"It will be challenging to implement if you do not have any experience."
