Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability.""It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase.""In Kubernetes, when traffic goes out of a pod, it has to have its own IP address. Every service that's going out requires another IP. But with OpenShift, you don't have to deal with any of those IPs because they use NAT.""It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS.""The solution's support and its automation tool that ensures we are secure and appropriately configured are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift.""I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten."

"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.""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 most valuable feature of IBM Public Cloud is the AI integrations.""It is a scalable product. You can scale it up and down.""The initial setup was very easy. It's quite straightforward. Deployment took about fifteen minutes. Everything is well organized.""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."

Cons
"They need to improve the core licensing model.""There is room for improvement in terms of orchestration. While Azure orchestration offers valuable features, it's worth noting that it may not match the level of orchestration provided by Kubernetes itself.""The product is expensive.""Automation could be improved.""Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved.""One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."

"I would like to see a more user-friendly deployment process in the next release of this solution.""The initial setup and the pricing are areas that need improvement.""It will be challenging to implement if you do not have any experience.""They do not have a very good virtual network implemented, and the VPC is the most important feature that needs to be improved.""The product should offer more computing, similar to Amazon.""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.""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."
