    The outstanding storage capacity, organized security measures, and appropriate business features of IBM Cloud Backup make it something I'd recommend at any time of day or night. Furthermore, the software is online and hence easily accessible from a distance. The application's stability and strength are further assurances that all authorized business users are in safe hands.

    • The set prices for the product is a problem.
    • Secondly, IBM Cloud Backup customer help should be more speedy.
    • IBM Cloud Backup is so automated, and in case of a power failure, accessing some of this data can be challenging.

    If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.

    Pricing and how easy it is to use. We use other IBM products in our office and it is nice to have everything on one network. The experience for users and managers is better, even new employees who can learn quickly. It also makes it more affordable for us.
