Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud File Storage

We use IBM Cloud Storage to store static files like images. We also have a dedicated server within IBM to host dynamic content. That helps to serve static content more effectively, scale, and have backups.
  • Reliable
  • Fast
  • High quality technical support
  • It is relatively expensive.
  • It is connected to other IBM services. I think it should be a separate entity.
  • It lacks functionality compared to competitors like Amazon S3.
  • It is scalable.
  • It is secure.
  • Easy to use - saves many work hours.
IBM Cloud Object Storage is very similar and compatible with Amazon S3. We use both services.
