Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Managed Istio

We started out using the software [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] within a small part of one of the divisions. It rapidly spread to usage through the entire product line. We are in the process of rolling it out to other product lines within the entire organization. We are able to create more visability to ongoing projects that previously were managed in silos without knowing start and or end dates and the details.
  • Layers transparently onto existing applications
  • Allows control of access and rules to be developed
  • Creates metrics for usage
  • Training material for new users
  • Generating specific reports
  • Adding metrics to existing report
  • Sharing reports among user groups
  • Scalability had drastically reduced development hours by 75%.
  • Ease of use has reduced training time and cost by over half.
  • Metrics measuring allows for likeness identification eliminating duplicate work and rework.
The ease of use and the scalability have been major factors in the decision making. We like that there is not a lot of repetitive work that must be done in order to bring in existing concepts and ideas into different work streams that have similar but not the same challenges. This cuts down on design time and also allows for duplication of best practices.

Would you buy IBM Cloud Managed Istio again?

Yes

Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Microsoft Teams, Salesforce Lightning Platform (formerly Salesforce App Cloud)
It is a perfect application when you have multiple users and/or developers and you want to create rules and standards for access and the ability to change access levels. The reporting of usage is good, but adding more granularity into the metrics that have been used to measure are not specific enough. They provide detail but drilling into the detail would be more appropriate i.e. access to the baseline data.
