IBM Blockchain Platform Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using IBM Blockchain Platfrom as part of our clearing solution.

This is a solution meant for serving TELCO operators in clearing their roaming traffic using a new mandated specification called Billing & charging evolution.

Built-in features of blockchain technology like Provenance, Distributed ledger, immutability of transactions & security has made us to choose blockchain technology as part of solution.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my personal opinion, IBM Blockchain Platform is an off-the-shelf ready blockchain service offering. Customers can focus on building their solution rather than understanding the nitty-gritty of blockchain network setup, implementation & maintenance. Gives the advantage of Time to market.

With IBM Blockchain Platform customers could potentially launch their blockchain based solutions in a very short timeframe.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using IBM Blockchain Platform across the whole organization to sign transactions, documents, videos and any other type of documentary evidence. We are designing a solution that makes the verification process easy and understandable to the final consumers, making the data record friendly and readable

This is a very flexible solution that can be used in almost any sector. They have very good documentation and use cases to help you understand the power of the tool. The deployment is simple and there is a lot of documentation that can be reviewed before your implementation. The use cases are in different sectors, you can invite your team to review the demonstrations to better understand the scope of the solution.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Blockchain Platform is used to develop and manage the blockchain network of an insurance organization's solution with other companies. The main organization works as the Certificate Authority and the other companies make everyday transactions.

IBM Blockchain Platform is used to manage and change the chain code, review the peers and the peer's configuration, manage the channel, track the transactions that are made, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a really useful platform, specially if you're learning Blockchain and how to create a network, how it works, etc. Using it with the VS Code IBM Blockchain extension can also help you learn a lot.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the IBM Blockchain Platform to offer the best secure and reliable solutions to our customers. The sectors are: financial, medical, and banking.

Likelihood to Recommend

There is still something to improve, like efficiency. The security and zones are really well implemented and allow us to offer customer-tailored solutions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a startup with a focus on developing next generation applications using enterprise blockchain. We use IBM Blockchain Platform for all blockchain-related development and offer solutions to our clients that are backed by IBP. We are addressing two business problems 1) we are simplifying how covid test results can be provided by the users/patient to the employers or business for easy and secure access and 2) we are working to improve traceability in the fashion & apparel supply chain.

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM Blockchain Platform is very well suited for quick PoCs and deployment. We have used the platform for developing applications in two separate industries and things worked out well.

However, if you are working under a tight budget or the client is expecting a cost comparable to normal cloud platforms, then it may become hard to deliver that with IBM Blockchain Platform. It is a bit expensive for sure.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use IBM Blockchain Platform to develop students' projects for learning purposes. Students analyze the potential of Blockchain technology in several fields, like industry, legal, finance, commerce, [and] social relationships, and study its economic, social, and behavioral impact on people, procedures, and society. Then, they implement several uses cases using IBM Cloud and IBM Blockchain Platform and create a web app to show the implementation of this technology and several transactions.

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM Blockchain Platform is well suited for scenarios where you need secure transactions, like in logistics, finance, legal agreements. Especially I think is well-suited for smart contracts between devices under the IBM IoT platform, and using Watson AI for predicting future scenarios. In this case, an end-to-end powerful platform can be created from sensor data to business insight.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Blockchain Platform is helpful for maintaining and securing important and classified information to ensure everything is not only tracked but also managed safely. This platform is important for securing personnel files, medical files, and other sources of information that are often updated, transferred, or need to be tracked. The system is the best out there for what it does.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best used in commercial or logistics applications where you need to create a historical record of point of origin and identify points of transfer along the way. There are also benefits to scenarios where you want to setup automatic milestone activities such as invoicing or reporting when new information is provided.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, it's being used as the backbone infrastructure for a dApp healthcare solution startup. Our application will store a patient's EHR (electronic health records) while giving the patient full control over who can access it at any given time (doctors, hospitals, labs, etc). This way, the patient can easily access their EHRs through an app and can even transfer EHRs between hospitals if needed.

Likelihood to Recommend

The IBM Blockchain Platform overall is a very robust solution and serves as a good entry-point for medium-sized companies if they are interested in Blockchain. A starter/cheaper pricing model is desperately needed though for startups who are testing their MVP or conducting a pilot.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are in the insurance industry, so we are doing a lot of contracts. With digitalization, we were finding ways to not use paper but, in the past, there was an issue of trust with regard to sourcing. With the introduction of blockchain, we found the answer to that concern because blockchain can trace changes. Hence we implemented this to solve issues for our partners who we have to sign contracts with.

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM Blockchain Platform is easy to start with in order to do a POC, and along with other IBM products, it provides one-stop services. However, to live with it, pricing and ROI would need to be big considerations as the cost is a bit high compared to building your own from open source with the same framework. In return, you get the IBM guarantee.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Blockchain Platform was used in a proof-of-concept project to demonstrate cases to prevent insurance fraud. A common ledger created and accessed by multiple organizations where they can share selective data with each other. This bridge was used for communicating encrypted client details to prevent fraud.

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM Blockchain Platform is more suitable for enterprise users who don't want to maintain their own custom blockchain infrastructure.
