Likelihood to Recommend	IBM IBM Cloud Private is an ideal platform for companies to accelerate their business growth. It helps in reducing the cost of IT and operations while delivering a great customer experience. With IBM Cloud Private, you can gain agility and security with a flexible hybrid model that fits your needs. It's highly recommended to my colleagues from me. Incentivized Nosava Begum Human Resources Manager Read full review	SUSE We host many VMs on our data centers for various customers using SUSE OpenStack Cloud. It makes it easier to host them on their own private servers for creating on premises private cloud servers. It does this job very well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	IBM Capacity On Demand to scale up and down environments SaaS model allows our team to have less involvement in managing or controlling the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities. SaaS model allows our team to worry less about upgrades, fix packs, environment support etc. Incentivized Bhaskara Rudraraju Tech Consultant (ODM and BPM) Read full review	SUSE It is opensource and hence pocket friendly. Was the first enterprise OpenStack cloud distribution. Makes hosting lot of VMs on cloud easier. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	IBM Bluemix/IBM Cloud UI can be better Changing Brand name from Bluemix to IBM Cloud, as we are habituated to Bluemix more Incentivized Dinesh P Senior Infrastructure Engineer Read full review	SUSE Maintenance. Customer support can be improved. Updates can be made faster. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	IBM With VMware cloud, each VMware Cloud customer must have an SDDC account(VMC) as well as a general AWS account. The two accounts must be linked for the service to work which is a tiresome thing to do for some clients but with IBM Cloud Private all these issues are solved. Incentivized Nosava Begum Human Resources Manager Read full review	SUSE Both of these have equal capabilities in creating and spawning VMs. Both are opensource and very well suited for customers who are in need of building and maintaining their own private clouds on their own on premises network infrastructures. In comparison, SUSE OpenStack Cloud is little behind in terms of providing faster updates. It also has room for improvement in terms of providing support.

Return on Investment	IBM IBM Cloud has helped us start using the cloud and migrating old services to the cloud. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SUSE Being opensource, it is pocket friendly. Few customers are happy with its performance.
