IBM Cloud review by communicAVIA
- The reliability is the keyword. Never has any issue during 6 years in service.
- Service pricing is quite higher then the average market price, there was a moment that we were in difficult financial situation and almost couldn't pay the service.
- After all, the IBM reliability is the main factor that we're still in the business until today.

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers Review
- [I feel] IBM caused significant damages to their acknowledged "gross negligence." [...] [In my opinion,] holding customers/data hostage to limit gross negligence is an extremely poor practice.
- [With my experiences,] our investment was a tremendous loss in time & resources. Their lack of support, [in my opinion,] has caused us to pivot our entire business model and revenue stream. Our product re-launch has been setback by ~18 months due to damages caused by [in my experience, to be] IBM's gross negligence.

- Full support
- It has been very positive as our footprint has managed to stay small due to the boxes performance.
- The only downside is the occasional outage, usually driven by a change.
- Support can be hit or miss in recent years.
- At the beginning bare metal servers were very expensive cost
- Not enough support to handle questions like load balancing to figure out alone so this prevented me from making more profit because servers would be down

IBM dynamic scaling for small growing businesses
- I would say that the ROI for our server experience has been positive, as it has a low cost of ownership and it is nice to be able to migrate easily to the latest software and hardware.
- This service helps us to have a professional hosting service in less than a week.
- We had to get quality hardware in a professional managed data center. The cost was higher than if we had had an in-house solution, but totally worth it.
- The higher cost vs cloud was a factor to switch to another cloud provider.
