Watch out....you'll be surprised, and then VERY sorry! Seems to be a great product--with limited to no support.
- See previous notes. We decided, for good reason, not to pursue any real production applications with the Bluemix products because we, our management, and our customer and their management realized it would not work in a real-world, down and dirty production environment where company reputations, financial performance, and customer satisfaction were at stake!

Benefits to Small Startups from Bluemix
- IBM Bluemix is mainly a foundation enabler at this stage, although our business plan does look promising.
- The low cost of development on Bluemix for a start-up like us is so helpful......we had no spare cash for this project besides what we could save or borrow at first, and that wasn't much. We are still trying to attract venture capital to cover the main Cordova Coding effort plus the launch "Cash Burn".
- Features like push notifications, mobile-back end, and world-beating security help us to sell our SaaS products/services.
- The pure (usually!) functionality of IBM products and services is very rewarding to work with.They are so insightful and thoughtful, to say naught of clever!
- Expedited app deployment
- Deployment of software on VPS was a pain
- Faulty VPN consumed lot of time and was not successful in the end

IBM Bluemix Review
- Inexpensive at first, good for prototyping. But slowly getting more expensive as we scale.

Why I chose Bluemix over AWS and Azure
- Bluemix's PaaS saved hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars as a result of providing their applications in a turnkey manner vs. having to build my own technology stack.

Banking with IBM Bluemix
- We are in a phase of development and we will see in the future.
- Bluemix has allowed me to effectively serve the App industry more recently, especially with the new visual design implemented recently.
- BlueMix offers a lot more customization of the Platform, rather than Infrastructure, giving me a big edge over other companies offering only AWS or Azure cloud services, and brings a lot more apparent value to my business.
- The additional features, especially the Watson service subset offers a HUGE range of new and innovative technologies, especially in the realm of AI, that encourages my clients to test out new potential features, which leads to more sales as they increase there platform size and capability.
