Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

At first, we used the service for a single project which helped me decide to use it for all of our projects now. Plus, I didn't expect the better features they had which helped me to lessen our expenses. I have not had any issues so far with them.
  • User-friendly
  • Less Cost
  • Better Options
  • Customer Support Options
  • Knowledge Base is Confusing Sometimes
  • Email Support
  • Fewer Management Issues
  • More Cost if You Needed More Features
  • Better Servers
They have better pricing on Asian servers which provides me a good calculation on my monthly spend estimation. They have optional services which can be useful and help me to do more for our organization's needs. So far, we don't have any issues with billing and they answer immediately on live chat when we need clarification on a query.
It is a good option for those well experienced in cloud servers like me to use them for virtual needs. Plus, you can select options with fewer technical needs when doing configurations. I mean, less CMD and SSH use which is beneficial to me and less work for small ones.
