Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

It is being used by me as I test its capabilities. I use it as part of IBM Watson's Natural Language Classifier product to aid the company's marketing. I am championing the use of Python within the business and using things like NLC and NLP is facilitating those actions. Once I have a better understanding of the product, I will likely roll out features to colleagues. I would say that IBM Cloud Object Storage has become crucial for my data management needs, helping me address scalability and durability, and various other data-related challenges while providing a flexible foundation for my team's digital transformation efforts.

Pros

  • It allows you to store lots of data
  • It's easy to use
  • It's cost effective
  • It's great for archiving and backups
  • It's scalable
  • It's durable

Cons

  • The documentation around creating instances could be better
  • It might not be easy for a novice to get their head around
  • Navigation could be better
  • I'm sad that the Watson API demo is no longer available
  • It is affordable so ROI is incredibly high.
  • It is fast working, reducing the time to build projects.
  • It will aid objectives such as client retention and customer satisfaction.
As Google Cloud Storage is our main product for this kind of thing, it remains the standard but in terms of overall performance, flexibility, stability, durability, and scalability, IBM Cloud Object Storage has put it through its paces. I think having a product put Google through its paces is always a good thing, both for businesses and for the industry overall.

In my experience, IBM Cloud Object Storage is well suited for projects like the one I am working on. This includes the use of natural language classification and the uploading of data to train a machine learning model for tag suggestions based on a body of text. Using IBM Cloud Object Storage has helped with this greatly. IBM Cloud Object Storage has also been great for Big Data Analytics thanks to its scalablilty and ease of use for large datasets. Alongside IBM Watson and our team's internal big data tools we've managed to process and analyze data more efficiently, leading to key insights that have driven business value for our clients.
