Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
I work as a website developer under Software Development Cell, USICT. The main objective of this organization is to deploy a seasonal website for a hackathon or admissions. Mostly it develops websites for the ACM chapter of the university. We as SDC, use IBM Cloud Object Storage for PDFs and to host images of the events mostly for static website hosting and static content distribution. Right now the service is used only by our SDC department.
Pros
- Most durable and reliable when compared to an on-premises storage warehouse. Data written to cloud storage is stored across other regions to achieve almost 99% uptime and durability.
- A secure way to keep user and organization data safe. With IBM Cloud an administrator can set role-based policies and access permission across each level.
- Cost effective technique to store Terabytes of data.
Cons
- Personally, there are few to count but sometimes the user experience does not appeal to me.
- When compared to other competitors in the market, IBM lags behind in community meetings and meetup/on-line events and demos.
- Prior to cloud storage, we used on-premises storage devices to store and backup, and sometimes it was a headache to scale up or down the storage according to our needs. With the introduction of Cloud Object Storage, we don't have to worry about scaling.
- The uptime is also improved a lot after the introduction of Cloud Object Storage in our organization
- Obviously, it's a very cost-effective way to store and archive data.
