Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers within the IT department. We use various hosted servers for data transfer purposes mainly SFTP. This saves us from having to purchase our own hardware, saves time on maintenance and also saves bandwidth on our office internet connection. As an IT company we find it extremely easy to spin up new servers in the cloud.
  • Intuitive UI
  • Excellent help and documentation
  • Flexible VM options
  • No reseller training portal
  • Expensive licences
Azure management can be flaky to say the least. At one point one of our VMs just disappeared.
IBM Cloud Virtual Servers is a good alternative to Azure.
