IBM Cloud Object Storage
We've evaluated both (and use both), but we've found IBM Cloud Object Storage to be easier to use and manage overall.

Cost effective and robust solution!
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
We selected IBM Cloud Object Storage against S3 for following reasons:1.
1. We already use a lot of IBM's cloud services, IBM Cloud Object Storage would have been easier to manage.
2. It is really cost effective with the features it brings in.
3. Relatively easier to set up.

IBM Cloud Object Storage Review.
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
Amazon S3 is a great service to safely back up your data where redundancy is guaranteed, and the cost is fair. In the past I have used Amazon S3 for data that we backup and hope we never need to access, but in the case of a catastrophic or even small slip of the finger with the delete command, we know our data and our client's data is safely backed up by Amazon S3. Amazon S3 service is a good option, but based on the features it provides compared with IBM Cloud Object Storage, it is less suitable. IBM Cloud Object Storage is also integrated with more services, like IBM Cloud SQL and IBM Aspera, which AWS does not provide to transfer files at maximum speed in the world.

Cloud Storage - A Wonderland!
As far as the other cloud storage services are concerned, I have limited experience. I used pleased by IBM cloud storage because it provided a smooth, running environment for my data science projects. I used IBM Watson Studio and the experience was smooth. I used IBM Db2, and it was useful too. I am happy with third-party integrations provided by the IBM cloud storage. I transferred my data files from IBM Watson Studio to my Github. I imagine how useful it will be for a business. You should definitely get it.

IBM always leading!!
IBM Cloud Object Storage is a product that gives us greater scalability, and important security features such as WORM, in addition to Simplicity and Enhanced file access

IBM ROCKS
At the end of the day it is an IBM product that gives us a guarantee of being very robust, it is very safe, and reliable, and it also allows flexibility.
The previous cloud OSS platform that we used was provided by Google. Functionality in OSS is restricted in several ways. The setup and configuration steps are complicated, making the software difficult to operate. We had no problems at all during our time at IBM. Buckets may be easily configured and managed even by those without technical training.

IBM Cloud Object Storage is must try product
Every vendor provides the storage capability. Just IBM Cloud Object Storage suits our needs from the cost perspective and usage perspective.

IBM Cloud Object Storage - An Easier & Reliable Object Storage Solution that You Can Trust.
- Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS)
Previously, we were a user of alibaba cloud OSS. There are some limitations on OSS features. Also, not easy to use due to some complex configurations and setup processes. We didn't face any difficulties here in IBM. Easy configuration and management of buckets can be done with a nontechie person.

IBM Cloud Object Storage - Great for my organisation

IBM Cloud Object Storage, Fast and Flexible storage service.
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
Amazon S3 service is also a good option, but based on features it provides compared with IBM Cloud Object Storage, it is less suitable. IBM Cloud Object Storage [is] also integrated with more services, like IBM Cloud SQL and IBM Aspera, which AWS does not provide to transfer files at maximum speed in the world.

The best data storage option!!
I feel that both of these products have almost the same kind of work. Both are used for cloud based storage of unstructured data.
IBM Cloud Storage Object Storage provides an upper hand as it is more effective.
IBM Cloud Storage Object Storage provides an upper hand as it is more effective.
IBM is [on] another level against these products. I think IBM is more for the bigger companies with bigger projects. If you are smaller and already use MS Office or Google then check those products first, they also have more advanced options (sometimes paid) to enhance your "cloud". Where OneDrive is part of Microsoft and is integrated with all the Office applications and Google Cloud with Google applications.
Both products are very similar, offering cloud based unstructured data object storage. I think each works the best when it is being accessed from other products in that cloud's ecosystem. IBM Cloud Object Storage definitely stands up to other products, however those products are solid as well and we have used them successfully.
