IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers - VPC

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

We use it for a few clients, not for all the clients for implementation of the cloud.

Pros

  • Domain name services. Public and private DNS and domain registration.
  • IBM Cloud Direct Link. Physical or virtual private connections to IBM Cloud.
  • High availability. Enhanced security.

Cons

  • UI has lot of confusion, new user gets lot confusion while navigation.
  • Most of IBM cloud has pre -configured Vm's, very less customization available.
  • Very limited varieties of flavors for windows and Linux OS available.
  • Compared to AWS very less features like SQL & Oracle DB's are also missing.
  • Very less availability regions.
  • Cost estimation is little bit difficult to calculate.
  • Compared to other clouds I feel it's more expensive.
  • Lacking few innovation features.
UI is very easy and simple to navigate and not confusing and cost effective when compared to IBM for few features.
  • IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
  • IBM Cloud Functions
We are only using for less customers for now due to some less enhanced features and cost.
