Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Cloud Foundry builds the runtime environment directly without requiring dependency management from the user.""My favorite component of IBM's solution is Node-RED, which greatly shortens the amount of time required to develop, test, and deploy new applications.""IBM is the only vendor to offer integration with blockchain for smart contract development."

More Cloud Foundry Pros →

"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c.""The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling.""The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses.""One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process.""Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do.""The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis.""The solution's technical support is good.""The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."

Cons
"In IBM Cloud, the product has been deprecated in favor of Kubernetes, which is a more complicated infrastructure to manage.""After the initial excitement period with Node-RED is over, you crave the need of additional integrations to third-party services."

More Cloud Foundry Cons →

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products.""The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do.""There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "IBM has a free tier and payment option depending on the products selected."
  • "You are allocated a minimum amount of resources in the free tier. This seems fair and highly scalable, as you pay per usage as per cloud pricing schemes."
  • "The pricing models should be reworked to the needs of a wider range of companies. Some customers will not be able to afford it until quite a few years into production, even after good PoC results and a successful launch."

  • "It is somewhat expensive."
  • "Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
