Compared to AWS, I found the IBM Cloud for VMware solutions service very easy to use since the administration interface is intuitive, well distributed and easy to use, also in the way of performing configurations and deployments it has fewer steps than on AWS, the security …
We have previously used Veeam and while they offer a very good solution for the purposes of backups and virtualization, IBM's is superiors by far. I would imagine the years of experience IBM has in the industry has helped them come up with a more efficient version of the …
IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions stacks up against them, we fully agree there are so many features in IBM cloud for VMware Solutions that make it unique and different. The system provides us hypervisor security level and the system even has live backup and storage capacity of …
IBM Cloud for VMware [Solutions] stacks up against the rest, if nothing else, based on support. Their support is great once you engage them and that is the main reason for going with them.
IBM Cloud for VMware was a cheaper alternative to AWS and provided best-in-class tools such as security, backup, recovery/DR. The interface was easy to navigate and the support skillset is high.
We chose VMware over Azure App Service because of the way that it was at that point natural and still offered similar cloud capacities that Azure would have acquired us. This permitted us to continue to utilize a similar interface and not need to relearn everything beginning to …
We ended up choosing iland instead of IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions primarily because of support and performance. IBM's cloud is not on par with others. It's slower and out of date on some aspects, and the support is just not responsive or available.
We believe IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions really stood out from Nutanix and Oracle VM VirtualBox. We really liked that the solution was a one-stop shop where IBM could provide all the required elements. We also trust IBM to provide the best-in-class solution to our problems …
IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions is better for clients on a dollar to dollar basis compared to AWS Backup. It allows customers to easily see how much resources they are using in the cloud (a feature not fully available with AWS). This helps save them money and be smarter with …
I haven't used other products, but I am happy with VMware VSphere on IBM Cloud. Our team enjoys using it as well, and the support that we have gotten from IBM keeps us satisfied as customers.
IBM Cloud for VMware solutions is much easier to use and makes migration simple. This is huge for a diverse team that needs to learn software quick and be able to utilize it fast to respond to a data issue. We have also saved money by switching.
We selected VMware over Azure due to the fact that it was already familiar and still offered the same cloud capabilities that Azure would have gained us. This allowed us to keep using the same interface and not have to relearn everything from start to finish with a new product.
I think IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions would be a good fit for a medium to a large company looking to outsource their current in-house VMware products. The IBM solution would allow them to outsource their current infrastructure so that the company could then concentrate on their core business, whatever that may be. A smaller company with a smaller VMware footprint would probably not be a good fit here. It's a pretty complex process to get things started, so it might not be worth it for a smaller company.
The presentation is first rate. Our on-prem climate was continually experiencing slack and general languor. With IBM running everything, it's much smoother.
Start another group as little as one ESXi worker or scale a current bunch.
It is easy to use and setting it up is simple. The only con is that the pricing is a little bit high as well as documentation is a little low; so we had to do some personal learning to be able to fully utilize the product, or hop on the phone with someone.
Overall, just a great experience here. No one in my opinion gets a perfect 10/10 rating (no one is ever perfect), so 9/10 is probably as good as it gets! From initial planning to post implementation support, the IBM Cloud and professional services has been there for my group as much as we have needed them. Great job!
IBM professional services helped us plan and implement the project with great success. They guided the project from planning, scoping, pre-implementation, testing, roll-out, then production and post-production support. We were very impressed with their knowledge of VMware and really appreciated their desire to make our project a success. I would highly recommend them!
IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions stacks up against them, we fully agree there are so many features in IBM cloud for VMware Solutions that make it unique and different. The system provides us hypervisor security level and the system even has live backup and storage capacity of data. This system provides us with accuracy that helps us to reduce errors and vulnerability.
It has a positive impact on the cost required to maintain our vSphere environment by allowing us to get rid of our vsphere hardware and not worry about maintenance either.
There have been very few negatives, but one would definitely be the open-ended cost associated with cloud products in general.
