Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Foundry
We’re using these services as a POC to research the validity of our assumptions - as a way to shorten the development cycle. The freedom of turning services on and off is valuable.
- Enabling new services and the management of those services without involving another group.
- A wide variety of access to APIs and services
- It simplifies our internal documentation by reducing the number of steps that need to be taken.
- I’d love to see labels when marketing-names are used; for example, Cloudant is tough when I’m not aware what that brand is, but need to create a new database.
- Ability to copy projects, services, data, databases between domains - so a user of the IBM cloud with a partner of ours could build and test something, and then move it over to our account when it’s ready. Maybe that already exists.
- Easier access to third party APIs; perhaps a catalog of solutions from other vendors / a marketplace.
- Decreased time to market
- More experimentation
- Easier access to development on mobile devices.
AWS and Digital Ocean; Access to a larger pool of services; whatever your business needs, IBM provides it.
