Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

We have utilized IBM Cloud Virtual and Bare Metal Servers to help our business scale and grow over the past 6 years. Service has been good, pricing has been fair, and we have peace of mind by working with a top-shelf vendor like IBM. I would recommend IBM Cloud to any small business looking to grow as we did.

Pros

  • Fair pricing
  • Latest technology
  • Real-time support

Cons

  • Certain support was lacking when we had a server drive failure. It would have been appropriate for IBM technicians to help us get a server set up since the failure was hardware related AND the back up we had been paying for wasn't properly archived.
  • 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.
Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 Business
Great for a start-up looking to lease equipment that can scale as they grow.
