Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
I am testing IBM Cloud Object Storage for testing machine learning models and workflows, and potentially for use in a cross platform videogame (using other IBM Cloud services for processing)
As a games developer I need to offload as much processing as I can. I've not fully made use of it yet, but my tests have shown IBM's Cloud offering and the Cloud Object Storage to fit smoothly into some workflows (due to the diverse range of integrated services).
It's still in early stages, but so far I like what I've seen.

Pros
- Integrates with other IBM Cloud services
- Email reports and notifications I can observe at a glance
- Very flexible offerings (including low cost storage)
- Good pricing
Cons
- The UX for IBM's cloud platforms can take some time to get used to
- IBM's cloud platform pages are quite heavy, making navigation a bit of a chore
- It has provided me with a stable solution I can rely on for future planning.
I have evaluated Amazon S3 and Google's Cloud Platform.
IBM Cloud Platform is well documented and very integrated with its other range of cloud services.
It's quite difficult to differentiate between them all. IBM Cloud Storage is not a service I would have considered on its own merit, but with the power of Watson, which was an absolute pleasure to work with, alongside the cloud server options, I think the IBM cloud ecosystem provides something for everyone.
