Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

It is currently being used by the whole organisation to backup data from Office 365 to address the compliance and security issues around Office 365 data. We currently utilise Veeam to facilitate the backups and IBM Cloud Object Storage to store the encrypted data from Exchange Online, Sharepoint and OneDrive for Business.

Pros

  • Ease of Use
  • Compatibility
  • Price
  • Storage Objects

Cons

  • Haven't found any yet.
  • Very positive so far as my Investment is currently £0.
  • Feature set for monitoring could be expanded to be able to integrate with PSA/RMM & SIEM
AWS and Azure are both very costly solutions in comparison and give a lot less ROI than IBM, although IBM has a more feature rich and a better user experience than both of the others.
Both Office 365 backups and Infrastructure network backups fit well with the aid of Veeam, it is also usable as a public storage location creating a public cloud for your data, in a safe, secure, encrypted environment.
Private cloud capabilities are massively increased based on the object storage and IBM have extremely competitive data rates.
