Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

The technology department is using it and it's being used to run 24/7 education-related server software and it solves cost of electricity maintenance and runtime errors.

Pros

  • Cheaper than AWS and GCP
  • Chat support is excellent.
  • Provide trial and startup credits
  • Boot images are well deployed.
  • Easy login and restart VMs

Cons

  • Faced internet disconnection errors more than ever imagined
  • Even tested Azure AWS and GCP but never faced internet disconnectivity once but it happened 5 times on IBM.
  • Bandwidth cost is high.
  • Made profit
  • Tried windows image-based VM first but failed
  • Switched to Debian-based VMs and had success
IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are well suited for startups and budget-conscious companies but less appropriate for work related to 100% internet connectivity time in Windows image-based virtual servers.
