    IBM
    It is really impactful in terms of scenarios like ERP systems and Data Analytics where heavy data needs to be analysed in terms of volume and their needs to be high scalability offering so in that scenario it is a great asset and features like distribution of workload using AI capabilities by leveraging modern IBM offerings like Watson is really helpful the area in which it could improve is native development of application in terms of adoption of New cloud Technologies

    In case you want a cheaper PaaS that may be available in your country (Brazil, in my case), you may give Jelastic a try. There are some other strong competitors for the PaaS scenario with free versions, but the paid versions are far more expensive.

    Pros
    IBM
    • It is good in managing our documents in a precise manner.
    • It is a comprehensive tool and supports other languages like JAVA and Python and it is useful for us.
    • It is quite a valuable tool available at a reasonable price in the market and it is a scalable tool.

    • Easy to use, the interface guides you to create your application.
    • Custom SSL certificate. You can upload your own certificates and it will configure them for you.

    Cons
    IBM
    • The software appears to be geared for a no-programming approach, which implies that making changes is more difficult.
    • The user base is small making it monotonous and difficult to come up with new methods.
    • The number of rankings is not as large as competitors.
    • The admin end is poorly designed, as they are unable to receive and respond to client feedback.

    • SSH is still tricky to use. You have to log in to a gateway and go to an option menu to get logged in. Sometimes it was not available or too slow.
    • Some errors are not clear enough. It took some time to understand which files I had to upload to get my custom SSL certificates working.

    Easy to understand the architecture, easy of implementation and support with perfect documentation. Results driven performance in terms of latency and speed. Able to perform heavy workloads and huge transformations, also integrated SAP systems and Oracle robust deployments. But looking more in terms of AI capabilities to achieve more innovation.

    Usability
    IBM
    It provides strong support for Terraform, Ansible, and API-based management gives power users flexibility and efficiency and IBM Cloud UI is modern and relatively easy to navigate. Interfaces and workflows are consistent with on-prem Power Systems management tools. Areas to be improved - Compared to AWS or Azure, the UI could be more streamlined in how it presents all related services (e.g., networking, logging, storage) that tie into PowerVS

    Support Rating
    IBM
    As with most IBM products the ongoing support for IBM Power Virtual Server is solid and consistent. IBM provides a clear roadmap for receiving support of their products. Both voice and online response is offered. It is obvious that IBM has the internal systems and culture to maintain support functions. This starts from the initial support call to the problem analysis and continues through the problem resolution. Documentation and communication are consistent within this process.

    They both have their own ups and downs and it totally depends on the team which suits them best. IBM Power Virtual Server has Performance, Scalability, Reliability and Availability, Compatibility, and Good Vendor Support. The specific use case and workload requirements played a significant role. Some workloads may benefit from IBM Power Systems' architecture, while others may perform equally well on alternative platforms.

    The price of Jelastic for the paid version (considering SSL) is better.

    Scalability
    IBM
    Built to handle thousands of concurrent users, high query loads, and massive datasets especially in data-heavy industries like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. In-memory processing, dynamic query optimization, and intelligent caching mechanisms help it scale efficiently under load. You can configure clusters of Cognos servers to distribute workload and ensure high availability, even during peak usage

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • We have had a return on investment of 30%.
    • There have also been 80% fewer application crashes due to a lack of resources that previously ran on the X86 platform.
    • Administration management has been simplified and staff can dedicate themselves to the development of applications, instead of providing support to users when the applications do not respond efficiently, this made staff 45% more productive.
