Overall Satisfaction with IBM Blockchain Platform

IBM Blockchain Platform is being used in Casey, our soon-to-be-released COVID-19 case management system. Casey uses IBM Blockchain Platform to manage and deploy our Hyperledger Fabric applications. IBM Blockchain Platform helps us to be confident that we are always using best practices in our development journey.
  • We need to create organizations, channels, and nodes dynamically through code. IBM Blockchain Platform makes this easier for us.
  • By using IBM Blockchain Platform, we gain the advantage of IBM's advanced tools that facilitate necessary activities such as governance.
  • Critical tasks such as installing and upgrading chain code and other related tasks are made easier by IBM Blockchain Platform.
  • IBM Blockchain Platform takes away many unknowns and helps us to plan the project with confidence.
  • More levels of pricing. I think the pricing is the number one deterrent. Also, the high cost of development and R&D causes customers to hesitate to commit to IBM Blockchain Platform.
  • We are still waiting to see what our ROI can be. This depends on whether we can deploy IBM Blockchain Platform in a cost-effective way. We are working on our ESA with Ingram Micro.
We tested Oracle very early on. IBM Blockchain Platform was very far ahead of it.
IBM has the most brilliant engineers in the world. The IBM marketing team is extremely strong on blockchain as well. The only chink in the armor I see is the lack of flexible pricing on IBM Blockchain Platform and the lack of what many businesses see as a reasonable starting point for a financial commitment.
