Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Databases

IBM Cloud Databases is being used across my entire organization. I enjoy using the product but there are definitely areas for IBM Cloud to improve. Definitely very little documentation, and not enough examples across the web that support IBM Cloud, therefore, making it harder for smaller companies such as ours to use this product. When first beginning with IBM Cloud, it took us several weeks on the support page to get a good response on simple things that other cloud services would have already solved.
  • IBM Watson
  • App ID
  • PostgreSQL as a service, especially with the IBM cloud user documentation
  • Cloud foundry and react starters
Great with IBM Watson, but still needs more work with app ID and PostgreSQL as a service.

IBM Cloud Support and Implementation

I believe they deserve a 9/10 because the support team always goes above and beyond making sure each case has been resolved.
