Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"Excellent technical support."
"The product's framework is good, it integrates well with API Connect, and the private cloud allows for use in any location."
"We have control of the ESXi."
"The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability."
"Our core banking process was monolithic. To address this, we transitioned to a microservices-based architecture. Leveraging Microsoft technologies, including Terminals version 23, we’ve revamped our banking operations. Not all services are microservices; some remain monolithic for simplicity. Containerization is pivotal, with OpenShift (based on Kubernetes and Docker) managing our microservices."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"lacking in multi-cloud management."
"I've noticed that the satellite services layer requires some improvement compared to platforms like Azure or Microsoft. While it's in development, I believe the satellite layer has room for enhancement. Additionally, the DevOps layer could benefit from closer integrations, especially for using external applications like Jenkins."
"The support and pricing need to improve."
"One issue with the solution is latency because there is lag time when we connect."
"Auto-scaling and managing pod scaling in the microservices architecture, a core feature of IBM Cloud Private, can pose challenges, especially when dealing with larger volumes of traffic."
