Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

I effectively leverage IBM Cloud Object Storage to streamline my data management needs. Its robust features and scalability ensure seamless storage and retrieval of crucial data. The user-friendly interface simplifies the process of organizing and accessing files, while its robust security measures guarantee data integrity. IBM Cloud Object Storage has become an indispensable tool for my data storage and retrieval requirements, enhancing my workflow and data management efficiency.
  • Clarity of dashboard layout (and the ability to edit the the dashboard to fit our needs) makes it easy and intuitive to use.
  • Ease of navigation allows for quick selection of tasks to complete and/or manage.
  • Clear and reasonable billing options for usage.
  • Would like to be able to add a favorites list as a dashboard block for quick access to the most frequently managed resources (rather than searching the Resource List page).
  • We're a newer user of IBM Cloud Object Storage -- however, the ability to securely maintain storage of large media related files off-site will (and has) had a very positive impact on ROI.
We have not yet had the opportunity to make use of the IBM Cloud SQL query, based on Apache Spark for ad-hoc data analysis. I look forward to learning more about this feature and how (or when) we might be able to integrate this capability with our existing online business set up.
We haven't had the chance to use this feature yet.
IBM Cloud Object Storage's versatile storage class tiers, including active, cool, cold, and dynamic data options, have significantly helped our organization to optimize cost management according to our data access requirements. This flexibility ensures efficient resource allocation and cost-effectiveness -- especially for our larger cold data media file storage -- aligning seamlessly with our dynamic data demands.

We appreciate the convenience and performance of using multiple IBM Portfolio Products together -- and plan on bringing more IBM components into our work environment.
IBM Cloud Object Storage is well suited for businesses that require scalable and cost-effective data storage solutions. It excels in scenarios involving massive unstructured data, like multimedia content, backups, and archives. However, it may be less appropriate for organizations with minimal storage needs or those requiring high-performance, low-latency access to data, as it's optimized for durability and data integrity rather than real-time data retrieval.
