User Testimonials
	Cubby (Discontinued)	IBM Cloud Block Storage
Likelihood to Recommend	For the business public, solutions like One Drive may seem somewhat complex and solutions such as Dropbox or Google Drive may be too basic. Cubby gives you that balance sought by small and medium enterprises. Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review	The service in general is great because on the backend. IBM offers experience and knowledge in the use of data center technologies undeniably. I recommend it for almost any situation but particularly for databases and especially large ones. That possibility of adjusting IOPS dynamically to levels that other data centers do not offer makes it unique. I don't recommend using the service if you don't have an infrastructure expert who knows about servers, Linux, and storage because a lot of the configuration and settings require an expert hand. Incentivized Alfonso de la Guarda Reyes CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
Pros	Files sync Files storage Security and Availability Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review	Proficient scaling and system customization, which allows editing. Wide range of system storage, ranging from 25GB to 12000GB. Finally, IBM Cloud Block Storage deploys the most technical and efficient security measures. Incentivized Rita Joy Information Specialist Read full review
Cons	Since we are already a LogMeIn Rescue customer we are a fan of their products. We really do not see a lot that Cubby does not do for us that we need to do. It would be nice to have a built-in password manager/keeper to share using the Cubby cloud storage. Users can share files in a secure manner, so why not be able to share passwords with them securely as well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The documentation must be clearer and updated, thinking about each distribution that they offer in the cloud Downtime when IOPS are raised can be less The configuration can be more automated from the same control panel and not have to take it so much to the CLI Incentivized Alfonso de la Guarda Reyes CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
Usability	Secure, simple, and easy to use and has all the features that we require. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
