IBM Public Cloud Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Product Manager at Uop Ipl4.0I am new to IBM Public Cloud and find it less intuitive than AWS or Azure. It lacks speed and connectivity but benefits from unique features like dedicated hosting, making it suitable for financial and hybrid cloud use cases.
Junior Cloud Engineer at Wanclouds2.5The review highlights that support for IBM Public Cloud could be improved, while it offers a cost-saving solution. Although AWS is noted as more resilient and robust, IBM still provides valuable financial benefits for its users.
Cloud Solution Engineer at Wanclouds3.5We partner with IBM for data center migrations and cloud implementations, but the complexity of direct connections and lack of OS support make IBM less favorable compared to AWS. Improvement is needed in security and architecture for competitiveness.
Founder & CEO at Star Systems India Private Limited5.0We developed a digital lab and Customer Experience Center using IBM Public Cloud, which excels with its bare metal servers and transparent pricing. While the platform is stable and usable, it lacks adequate technical support documentation.
Technology Advisor at Fabrik4.0I value IBM Cloud for its reliability, scalability, ease of deployment, and good support, meeting most of my needs. However, I've encountered problems with discontinued features, English-only support for developers, and the deprecation of preferred services like Cloud Foundry.
CTO at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.0I value IBM Public Cloud for its easy, flexible serverless functions, straightforward integration, and cost-effectiveness for solar analytics. My main issue is finding up-to-date documentation, impacting setup. Otherwise, it's a stable, scalable solution.
Subject Matter Expert - Data Network at Mphasis4.0I recommend IBM Cloud; it's a stable, scalable, and cost-effective solution offering great flexibility for custom hardware and easy setup. My primary concern, however, is the slow and expensive customer support, which needs significant improvement to match the service's quality.
Director - Automation Solutions at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees3.5In my experience with IBM Public Cloud, the most valuable feature is its AI integrations, though I believe the pricing could be improved. I have not previously used or considered other solutions, and the return on investment details were not provided.
