IBM Bluemix Review
Their APIs are good, especially their mapping products.

Why I chose Bluemix over AWS and Azure
- Azure IoT Suite and AWS IoT
In comparison with AWS and Azure, I selected Bluemix as a result of two primary factors. The first is that IBM had better training materials, which allowed me to get up to speed more quickly than the other two. The second win for Bluemix was pricing. For my applications, I estimate the Bluemix solution was < half of what I would have paid for the other two platforms.

Banking with IBM Bluemix
We are IBM customers for years and it was our intention to work with IBM in the future so it was a logical decision to go with Bluemix.
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
IBM was making very slow moves, and almost appeared to be shrinking compared to the explosion of AWS, until the new visual overhaul made the service very, very easy to use, and honestly, is my current go-to service for cloud services. Lets be honest here also, one of the BIG reasons for using the cloud is to have an environment capable of rapidly and dynamically adjusting to handle any user influx, so why should I put time and energy, let alone base my entire cloud solution on configuring and deploying something to exact specifications, which I will then want to have change dynamically? I would personally rather focus just on what I need to make "my" software work. IBM does have downsides, such as a possibility of vendor lock-in, and needing to learn new technologies, but once invested, those are the areas that will pay off, and now that BlueMix is easy to use, I think it is going to put a lot of fear into AWS and Microsoft Azure.
