Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud File Storage
IBM Cloud File Storage is being used to store large amounts of data across the organization. We use it to retrieve data easily and store it in different chunks. It is not used by all departments, just IT-related departments, and mostly by engineers. It addresses problems related to big data, data processing, and analysis.
- Adjustable/extensible volume of stored data - You can really scale up.
- You pay for what you use and it is very transparent.
- Hard to master because of a lot of different functions.
- Documentation is not so helpful.
- Huge time gain.
- Large learning curve.
We selected IBM Cloud File Storage because of the company's reputation as a good provider of cloud file storage solutions and more generally, my company at that time relied heavily on IBM software. We hesitated a little bit with Amazon EFS which had some key features that IBM did not have, but all things considered, IBM was our best alternative.
