I just had one issue requiring contacting the support. People were very friendly and helpful. I cannot rate better because I have not been exposed to other similar situations (just had one single issue in 6 months), and cannot rate lower because this proves that IBM is trustworthy. I think it is fair.

That is the most important part of their services. Anytime I had questions about interface issues or technical support, there were absolutely no questions left unanswered. Their customer support is there 24/7 to answer any questions. Additionally, Cloud File Storage is getting updated constantly and after every update, we receive a detailed notification of those changes. Kudos!

IBM Cloud File Storage is a great way to store safely and share files with clients and administrators safety. The pricing also makes it more easy to maintain in a non-profit organization. There is always room for improvement. The navigation could be more user-friendly as many employees and clients are students.

Those in our organization that have reached out to IBM for assistance with some light support questions received prompt responses and follow-up communication. IBM even offered to have an on-site resource if needed for us to be sure we were configured correctly at one of our locations. We were very pleased with their level of service.
