Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

Currently, we are using it for testing purposes. The long-term goal is to use it as a data storage service for our activities with IBM Discovery. The fact that we get to use up to 25 GB in a free tier version and test it with API services, convinced us to move from Box to IBM Cloud Object Storage.
  • 25 GB of free storage.
  • Easy import of data.
  • API integration.
  • Process could be faster.
  • An interface that caters for people who are using other IBM services, i.e. Discovery.
  • To add it as a widget that can quickly be implemented when using other IBM services that need storage.
  • Box and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
More space for free.
  • IBM Watson Discovery
So far, our experimentation has been positive.
Appropriate scenarios: Plugging IBM Cloud Object Storage with other services, i.e. Discovery.
Inappropriate scenarios: Implementation steps are not suitable for a non-technical person. This is unfortunate because there are more people testing this type of service that are not software developers.
