There is an initiative to design in automation and machine learning into all of Epiroc's surface mining drills. We want the drill to optimize drilling functions in order to lengthen life of drill components and save fuel. The drill runs predictive models based on the drilling of one hole in a pattern then decides based on the data how to optimize the next series of 100-200 holes. The machine will also predict maintenance cycles, in hours, based on past usage and sister machines in the field.
- Python compiler is fast.
- Storing and sharing files.
- Security features.
- Difficult to find functions.
- Need a centralized menu system.
- Faster compiler speeds for Python code.
No, it has not been used for my projects.

We use it during development of web and mobile solutions for clients to handle media and file storage. Its being used mainly by the whole organisation because during testing of application other department help us it in testing and they interact with file upload which is most times implemented under the hood with IBM Cloud Object Storage. It helps to efficiently eradicate tedious experience I have in past for file upload and retrieval which I am given a public url and private url to have live access to the file. I use it in projects for storing prospective users and returning users images, supporting documents which often is in doc format or pdf format. It also provide helper function for multiple file upload.
- Multiple file upload helper
- Ability to store any file extension
- Rich documentation to assist in implementation of IBM Cloud Object Storage
- Updated Sample Code for implemention in Major programming language
- In terms of large file size, it takes time upload the file, though i saw a feature which i can use to compress the file size
- Percentage completion for file upload maybe a socket connection to have real time access to file upload
- There is highly reduce video tutorial content of IBM Cloud Object Storage on youtube or Udemy. It will be more easy to integrate if there is
It helps to improve efficiency and easy code debugging since we know major third party packages is from the same source which is IBM. It reduce work pressure in long time when a new developer join my team because with time he will be comfortable interacting with major IBM services through the console or terminal.

I am using IBM Cloud Object Storage for my personal analysis of stocks and returns using the Python language. I liked IBM Cloud Object Storage very much. It is fast, responsive, and efficient with lots of data fed in. I build linear and multiple regression models and run using the cloud and the response is very fast and insightful. Several things help me like the simplicity of the interface--everything fits nicely into the cloud interface.
- Maintain formats well
- Very easy to open and modify data
- Interactive
- Data is automatically deleted sometimes if a query is mistaken. They could add a pop-up to verify if we want to delete the data.
- When running SQL commands and when I want to see the results, it would be better if they would pop-up in another window.
- Make data addition more easy and in fewer steps

IBM Cloud Object Storage is being used as a repository of photos and images for our growing online community forum which is 13 years in existence now. Our media assets need to be kept in a reliable object storage service provider that is intuitive, affordable, and fast, and we find IBM Object Cloud Storage to be the perfect place for our files, videos, audio, and pictures. After we have uploaded these files into IBM Cloud Object Storage, we get the public URL of these files and make them available for view on our forum site. We also want to keep all other media assets in IBM as a back-up drive in case something happens to our phones and laptops. So far, we are enormously satisfied with IBM's storage service. There is just one feature that we hope to see in the future - that is the option to have a preview of every photo we've uploaded in IBM. When photos are in the thousands, a preview or thumbnail of each photo saves time in our decision-making whether to use it or not.
- User-Friendly Console
- Extremely Fast
- No Monthly Subscription
- Lots of Datacenter Options
- Mobile Friendly Cloud Console
- Preview of each photo
- Option to rename a file
- Integration with other apps such as Google Drive, One Drive, etc
We have not used this feature of IBM Cloud Object Storage. Nevertheless, we are very much interested to explore this great feature once we are ready and as the need arises.
We have yet to try the other services offered by IBM Cloud.
I work as a website developer under Software Development Cell, USICT. The main objective of this organization is to deploy a seasonal website for a hackathon or admissions. Mostly it develops websites for the ACM chapter of the university. We as SDC, use IBM Cloud Object Storage for PDFs and to host images of the events mostly for static website hosting and static content distribution. Right now the service is used only by our SDC department.
- Most durable and reliable when compared to an on-premises storage warehouse. Data written to cloud storage is stored across other regions to achieve almost 99% uptime and durability.
- A secure way to keep user and organization data safe. With IBM Cloud an administrator can set role-based policies and access permission across each level.
- Cost effective technique to store Terabytes of data.
- Personally, there are few to count but sometimes the user experience does not appeal to me.
- When compared to other competitors in the market, IBM lags behind in community meetings and meetup/on-line events and demos.
Mostly we use IBM Cloud Object Storage for archiving events. Though our organization knows about these features still we are coming up with different ways to use cloud SQL for our use.
- IBM Watson Studio (formerly IBM Data Science Experience)
- IBM Watson Machine Learning
IBM Watson Studio is used by the students as a part of their research work under the ACM chapter in USICT. I love the fact that to get started and use this you don't have to add any payment or credit card details. This matters a lot when it is mostly used by undergraduates students.
IBM Object storage was used in the implementation of IBM CMOD. Our business archived all kinds of statements and reports for a longer term. IBM Object Storage was used for the purpose of archiving data. Initially, we had the local storage, but eventually, considering the maintenance of the platform, the documents are moved to the cloud.
- Easy to setup
- Easy integration with IBM products
- Scalable for needs
- No issues with speed and connectivity
- UI interface needs improvement.
- Documentation and easy use of API.
- Navigation on dashboard.
I have not used the built-in SQL query.
- IBM Watson Studio (formerly IBM Data Science Experience)
- IBM Watson Assistant
- IBM Watson Discovery
- IBM Watson Knowledge Studio
Most of the solutions required by the customer can be archived with the help of IBM products itself. There is an ease of integration when using the IBM products stack.

I am using IBM Cloud Object Storage for developing certain solutions with IBM Watson services. I store media files like audio and video files and also files with data like spreadsheets, CSVs, JSON objects. It is very easy to upload files to Cloud Object Storage and work with them. Most of the processes like adding credentials and adding them as streaming objects are pretty much automated. There is ample documentation available online and on the IBM cloud website for reference.
- Easy to use over other clouds like file upload and download. Also the feature of cataloging helps in maintaining data repositories efficiently.
- Adding credentials directly to services and development notebooks
- Embedded IAM authentication helps in integrating with other IBM cloud services
- Lite plan needs to provide more data storage capacity for new users
- Need to provide data backup facility without extra charges
- File operations should be allowed inside Cloud Object Storage
Spark integration has been an excellent feature. Also, the embedded SQL URL feature for each data object on Cloud Object Storage makes it easy for developers to copy it and use it later in their code.

It's still in early stages, but so far I like what I've seen.
- Integrates with other IBM Cloud services
- Email reports and notifications I can observe at a glance
- Very flexible offerings (including low cost storage)
- Good pricing
- The UX for IBM's cloud platforms can take some time to get used to
- IBM's cloud platform pages are quite heavy, making navigation a bit of a chore
- IBM Watson Studio (formerly IBM Data Science Experience)
The IBM portfolio products is my sole reason for using IBM Cloud Object Storage - primarily for Watson, but I also like how their cloud servers are structured.
The game being worked on is still at the prototyping stage, but is likely to utilize IBM's products to provide real-time analysis and processing for the game world. This will allow players to enjoy the full benefits of the designed game no matter what hardware they are using.
The primary target platform is GeForce NOW, which processes the game on NVidia's servers, with the expectation of being able to offload lengthier machine learning tasks to models on IBM Cloud Platform.

We are using IBM Cloud Object Storage to store copies of data that our custom software generates and transmits via SSH. We are using it per client (bucket per client). We are using it across our entire company and for our clients as well. IBM Cloud Object Storage solves our need to store encrypted data in a secure environment that can be programmed to send or receive when we need it.
- Even though it is object storage, I can still use folder structure and store data.
- It adds yet another layer of encrypted protection to our already strong system.
- It was easy to set up and will be valuable to each and every client we help. Ease of use is pretty key.
- Tech support was available via chat and helped us set up our bucket and other needs.
- IBM Cloud Object Storage has errors in their documentation and they could fix the errors.
- While tech support via chat was great, the chat interface was out of sync and very buggy. It must be fixed. It was very difficult to communicate with tech support.
- The entire IBM Cloud Object Storage system is a bit confusing without the use of lots of documentation and some things that were supposed to be automatically set up were not.
No. Our software solution does not require traditional database.
We are using a Bare Metal Server with 32GB ram, 1 XEON 16 core processor and 48TB of HD space. We are also using IBM COS in tandem with the bare metal server. The two meet our needs perfectly.

The company generates tons of data each second when the main system is interacting with Amazon and eBay via APIs.
This information is stored for later data analysis for marketing and production proposes. The Cloud Store is ideal for data backup and to improve security and reduce data risk.
Our entire organization has been benefited from this technology and making our job easier.
- Very easy integration to various tools.
- Replacement for offsite backup.
- More efficient than tape backup for geographic redundancy.
- Great for disaster recovery.
- It would be nice to have more explanation videos for each section offered.
- It would be great to have all the files of a particular project in a single bucket.
During the uploading or downloading, we did not feel any speed drop, it works as a cluster computing service. Basically, it provides high-speed data transfer. Ad-hod SQL query is beneficial for most times.
Currently, IBM Cloud Object Storage is the only product used so far. The organization is planning to continue adding more products from the IBM catalog in order to continue improving productivity, a better developing environment for our developers, and an easy repository for the rest of the members of the organization to reach out to data.
It is currently being used by the whole organisation to backup data from Office 365 to address the compliance and security issues around Office 365 data. We currently utilise Veeam to facilitate the backups and IBM Cloud Object Storage to store the encrypted data from Exchange Online, Sharepoint and OneDrive for Business.
- Ease of Use
- Compatibility
- Price
- Storage Objects
- Haven't found any yet.
We don’t currently use this feature and so aren’t able to comment.

At Nation Farm, IBM COS is used for both backup and storage. The company chemists produce gigabytes of data each day as a result of their chemical experiments. Especially the Research and Development team needs to store their experiment data and they need to access this data from anywhere. During this COVID-19 lockdown days, we are working remotely. We realized that IBM COS was the right decision we made. In addition to that, I am responsible for dealing with the security concerns of the company. Based on my compliance checks, I can say IBM provides a secure and reliable service. Both data transmission and data storage are secure.
- Secure service
- Reliable infrastructure
- Data transmission speed
- Easy to migrate
- User interface could be improved.

IBM Cloud Object Storage was recommended to me by my supervisor as a solution to satisfy my higher process power needs. As a part of my research project, I have been developing a real-time climate data tracker database and analyzer. The weather data for one place is millions of lines of data as the sensors record data per second. Therefore, I need bigger storage, a faster connection, and good processing power. IBM is the best solution for my needs so far.
- Fast connection speed
- Strong infrastructure
- Strong process power
- Scalable for needs
- Affordable
- Hard to learn at the beginning.
- Lack of language support.
I have heard about it, but I have not used it yet. For better optimization of my data analysis process, I am planning to use it in the near future.

I use this at my college to store data since our Google Drive has become full. I also tell others to switch to IBM data on cloud since there are many tools to do privacy selection and security locks within certain geography.
I have been to many IBM seminars in the past, the data access is fast and storage is of large quantities. Access is restricted as per our needs and I collaborate in using this service with other research scholars to share docs and do app developments. I have been an ardent user of Fedora Scientific and doing things with Adruino microcontrollers.

Overall, IBM Cloud Object Storage is a good option to go for, as it is implemented with S3 APIs. I have solved problems related to downloading users' demand files directly to Object Storage. However, there are some improvements that need to be done in IBM COS like folders. IBM COS does not give you the ability to create folders in a bucket. Although it is not a big problem, it would provide more convenience.
- Greate user experience. Easy to learn and implement through well developed WebApp.
- Archive policy will help to reduce storage cost.
- Free 25GB storage in the lite plan will give a chance to anyone to get started with it and learn.
- Folders feature is missing in a bucket. It will help to organize files of a particular project in a single bucket.
- IBM Cloud Foundry
- IBM Cloud Functions
IBM provides deep integration between its multiple products, which is very helpful for implementing data processing queues, analytics features, and other things.
