    Cons
    IBM
    • 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

    Unlike the above platforms, IBM Cloud Block Storage enable secure and quick big data migration through its secure environment and the flexibility of its Cloud options is effective. Data analytics through IBM Cloud Block Storage are easily prepared and the data access is very easy and the ability to monitor various Cloud operations is excellent.

    SCloud US3 is just simple, no hassle and we absolutely loved the flexible usage-based billing. Discussions with the SCloud US3 team is also short and sweet. Their team is highly available at many channels whether by email, phone, or even WhatsApp. For the other alternatives we try like Azure and IBM, sure they are good names but hard to get hold of any staff, making long-term feasibility hard.
