Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Cloud Object Storage with features like Aspera and a wide range of other enterprise applications available have come so far in the last year alone. The integration, ease of use and user experience have improved dramatically. IBM and the fast growing startup community in Austin, TX are adoption a now refined enterprise offering to accelerate our journey into the cloud and beyond.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Aspera for ingestion
Ai and ML modeling
Asset management and creation
Most secure/ enterprise solution

Cons

Ease of use
With so many offerings, a UI beyond just APi documentation.
Onboarding specialist and mid market case studies

Return on Investment

Great tools for future planning and brand trust
Pain points come from adoption, onboarding, ease of use and familiarity.
Longer structured, onboarding process with integrated reward systems.

Alternatives Considered

Dropbox, Google Drive, S3 Buckets on AWS, Pcloud, Mega, Box, iCloud, OneDrive I have tried most available cloud storage providers and IBM is by far the most sophisticated, adaptable and affordable option. The onboarding and the ease of use of the Cloud Object Storage is the experience I want to share with my network.

Likelihood to Recommend

Modeling large amounts of data becomes available to a wider generation of marketers. I find that data analysis and structuring for ingestion to be the most difficult challenge for new users. I ofter feel accomplished completing even a portion of a guided tutorial. With the ease of use of jupyter notebooks and asset management, the UI needs to be revamped for the next generation of enterprise executives.
