Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

IBM's Cloud Object storage has a very wide scope of use. In our organization, it is being used for internal operations which involves a lot of data generation from one department/subsidiary to the other. It has been an efficient and faster way to access bulk of this unstructured data. We work with a lot of students data which they generate through portal, and this has been a cost effective way to store it.

Pros

  • Scales well (faster)
  • User friendly once set up
  • Reliability has never been an issue

Cons

  • Set up process could have been easier
  • More dashboard analytics on data
  • Access control
  • Interface
  • Very cost effective
  • Efficient management
  • Faster access to data
  • Better internal workflows

Would you buy IBM Cloud Object Storage again?

Yes

We selected IBM Cloud Object Storage against S3 for following reasons:1.
1. We already use a lot of IBM's cloud services, IBM Cloud Object Storage would have been easier to manage.
2. It is really cost effective with the features it brings in.
3. Relatively easier to set up.

It would work well in scenarios when there is a lot of unstructured data (with different types of data) that has to be accessed periodically that too in a secure manner. This has been our use case for this product. It might not be suited when you have very fast (high-frequency) moving data, which might not require encryption as well.
