Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud File Storage

We are already using the IBM on-premises storage solution for our critical applications. We had the requirement of storing temporary cache files for the applications on the cloud. Since IBM Cloud [File] Storage can be easily integrated with our existing storage and infrastructure, it helped us to save time for deployment and configuration.
  • Shared file storage.
  • Easy and simple deployment.
  • Reliable and secure storage service for cloud.
  • User interface to setup and manage the cloud storage service is good.
  • Fast and high speed cloud storage.
  • We have sometimes experienced some outages and hope IBM will fix this soon.
  • Initial trainings are required for the teams to work and do the setup.
  • Support documentation from IBM needs improvement with [the] inclusion of more detailed steps and video tutorials for [a] better understanding of the engineers.
  • The billing process is very complex and you may have to incur additional overhead. Need a simpler approach and clarity on this aspect.
  • Support response from the IBM team is very slow and lacks information.
  • Saved us time in integration with existing IBM infrastructure.
  • Cost effective solution for implementation and deployment.
