Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

Our company uses Cloud Bare Metal Servers in multiple cases. It helps in improving our data security and is easier to manage when compared to other vendors. The customization is also amazing where we can choose custom cores and based on it, pricing is done. Also, it has the latest VMWare software whereas other vendors use outdated or lower version software.
  • High Security
  • Good Performance
  • High Scalability
  • Monitoring
  • The pricing is a bit costlier
  • The UI is not user friendly
  • Increased Security
  • Faster streaming of files like videos
The streaming capability is extremely good. It is very fast and loads the website faster. Our backend server can hold multiple users simultaneously using the website and through multiple locations.
The provisioning time is as fast as advertised. Compared to other vendors, they take around 6+ hours usually. But with IBM, it only takes about 2-3 hours at max.
We had considered AWS EC2. They offer similar functions we require. But we feel IBM is better due to the version changes that they implement and the security features.
We also use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers and Cloud Kubernetes Service. The peer connection feature is pretty good. And all of them have pretty good integration features.
Our company uses Cloud Metal Servers by IBM to host client websites. It can stream lengthy videos. Also, it is extremely secure and is cross-platform.
