Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud File Storage

IBM Cloud File Store is my group's preferred way to store files in the cloud. Real-time access to open any files stored in the cloud is huge for our different remote teams working all across the globe. This allows us to communicate and collaborate quicker with each other for any matters that are handled internally.

Pros

  • Real-time access to live documents in the cloud.
  • Easy to use UI for anyone.
  • Very secure that enables trust in cloud uploads of important documents.

Cons

  • Lag time in file uploads/downloads is difficult.
  • Finding certain files can be difficult due to per search functionality.
  • Storage is limited.
  • Saving time with sharing and working together in the same documents.
  • Save time and money with a secure system.
  • Save time with data migration.
At the end of the day, for our group, the decision to go with IBM Cloud File Storage was for security purposes. Keeping data on a hard drive does not compete with a secure cloud solution that can be accessed anytime when internal servers go down. From what I know as well, the pricing structure with IBM was lower compared to other potential solutions.

This software is always updating to be mindful of potential security threats that exist out there. Knowing our data is secure, we feel comfortable using IBM Cloud File Storage to collaborate globally and provide access to internal information across the globe. It is very easy to use; thus no real training is needed for users - huge for a remote team.
