Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Databases

  • quick
  • easy
  • cheap
  • lack of community support
  • compatibility with other tools
  • not the most popular option
  • natively integrated with other IBM tools
  • one stop for all your needs
  • lack of stackoverflow support
  • Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
The reason why I choose IBM Cloud Databases is that the IBM cloud toolset is already being used in other functions of the company and by using IBM Cloud Databases, the other cloud tools are better embedded and integrated. If the company is set to use amazon tools, I would go for rds.

IBM Cloud Databases is well suited when the IBM cloud toolset is widely used in your organization and the goal is to store structured datasets into the databases that the end-users are planning to leverage SQL to pull the data out. If the data is unstructured then you should use object storage.
