Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

Previously, we [had] servers with pre-defined configurations and resources. But when data grows, it's difficult to store and manage data, [so] we come to a solution that IBM Cloud Object Storage resolved our issue. It provides flexible services to store and maintain data with all-time availability. [No], we no need to worry about data backup and data availability for users.

Pros

  • Scalability
  • Durability
  • High availability
  • Data migration

Cons

  • As of now all features are working fine, so not much except improvements in SDK
  • Cost difference between multiple regions
  • No need to maintain server
  • Provides automated scaling based on usage, so no need to worry about space
  • User role based security, which helps prevent unauthorised data access

Amazon S3 service is also a good option, but based on features it provides compared with IBM Cloud Object Storage, it is less suitable. IBM Cloud Object Storage [is] also integrated with more services, like IBM Cloud SQL and IBM Aspera, which AWS does not provide to transfer files at maximum speed in the world.
Amazon S3 Glacier, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Azure App Service
IBM Cloud Object Storage is best suitable for those who want to store data with security. It provides data encryption and data security, and accessibility based on user roles. It provides different vault services [that] you can choose from based on your data access frequency. It is suitable for all organizations, as it provides the best services. Maybe if you don't want to transfer data outside of your organization, then this should [not be] your option.
