IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers
- Ability to host resources quickly
- Enhanced security
- Easily Scalable reources
- The user interface should be a bit more easier to use
- The support resolution times should be reduced
- VPN connectivity must be a basic feauture
Very helpful tool
- The servers are very secure and IBM provides many tools to help [make] sure the servers stay that way.
- I use IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers to support online gamers on some platforms (frontend and backend)
- I use them for our production hosting.
- Support is very expensive
- Availability of data center in a particular location.
- The UI is not user friendly
Using IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers for 12 years
- Good quality support
- Good quality of hardware
- Transparency about technical issues, security issues
- The new IBM cloud customer site is not convenient
- Relatively high prices of hardware and bandwidth
- Relatively high prices for storage
- Not flexible server storage configuration (SSD options related)
IBM CLOUD VPC Review
- Domain name services. Public and private DNS and domain registration.
- IBM Cloud Direct Link. Physical or virtual private connections to IBM Cloud.
- High availability. Enhanced security.
- UI has lot of confusion, new user gets lot confusion while navigation.
- Most of IBM cloud has pre -configured Vm's, very less customization available.
- Very limited varieties of flavors for windows and Linux OS available.
- Compared to AWS very less features like SQL & Oracle DB's are also missing.
- Performance - the servers perform really well, even under stress. We have some long build processes running concurrently, and the server [can] serve other applications without any problems.
- Secure - for the most part, the servers are very secure and IBM provides many tools to help [make] sure the servers stay that way.
- Highly Available - while we have experienced various downtimes and outages with other IBM Cloud offerings, so far, we have not experienced any with [IBM Cloud] Bare Metal Servers.
- Pricing - can be a bit more expensive than some alternatives. Also, [in our experience,] we were offered a discount as part of a data center migration; [however,] when it came to billing time, the discount was not applied, and we had to spend time [providing] evidence of the offer.
Powerful servers at your at your fingertips.
- High level of security.
- Good performance.
- The user interface and the speed of deploying are fantastic.
- No option to define maintenance times.
- The offering from IBM is a bit expensive.

Solid Development Environment
- Creating Virtual Private Cloud and virtual server instances was quick and easy, saving us time.
- Documentation for setting up networking was easy to follow.
- IBM Cloud Command Line Interface allowed us to script repetitive tasks.
- The documentation and integration between OpenShift and IBMCloud was not clear. It took some time to figure out which interface to use to setup certain items.
- Better communication between departments could be improved. Had a billing question and had two departments saying it was the other team's issue. Took three days of back and forth to resolve.
- The documentation for loading containers into IBM Cloud OpenShift container registry was not clear. The correct commands were not documented.
Document migrations is another use case we have looked at using IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for. Being able to quickly spin up a temporary environment for migration and remove resources when completed allows us to reduce cost for the user.

- Not a good option to run temporary workloads while scaling up.
VPC is cost effective and versatile, just be prepared to brush up on IBM IAM assignments.
- Reliable
- Cost effective
- Setup of specific user rights and roles could have been bucketed better instead of having to assign rights in multiple areas.
- More straightforward access to assigning static IP and SSL to specific VPC.

- Reliable because it is always up and not shared
- Easy to set up and get running
- Very slow to provision
- Understanding billing is tough and takes a month to really see what your usage is
- Limited compute options.
- Very good for batch processing.
- Very good for CPU intensive jobs.
- Good for reliable always up and not having to share resources.
- On the down side, it is less appropriate for scenarios where you need on demand compute.
- If budget is an issue, it is quite expensive.
- Not great if you need resources quickly.
