Cons
"The interface is hard to use for us. It should be simplified.""For us, the versioning was an issue."

More IBM SoftLayer Cons →

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks.""Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
