We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and IBM Cloud Private based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AWS's security model, including IAM or security groups, has contributed to our organization's compliance. It manages authentication, permissions, and overall security posture, which helps us maintain compliance."
"The cutting-edge design is valuable."
"This solution is used as the basic requirement for any virtual machines use cases, the storage is used for each use case."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that they offer everything around in just one platform."
"This solution features ease of use and market adaptability."
"One of the most valuable features is that Amazon AWS has a lot of data centers and regions where we can position our virtual machines for leverage. Amazon AWS is also easy to use. You can quickly spin up something, use Explorer, building proofs of concept, things like that. Once the proof of concept is built once and we know how things are going to look from a production perspective, we try to move everything to the data centers. These features and the ease of use are the main reasons why we use AWS."
"There is no downtime. The solution is reliable."
"Security, quick deployment, and scalability are the top three features for me."
"We have control of the ESXi."
"The product's framework is good, it integrates well with API Connect, and the private cloud allows for use in any location."
"Our core banking process was monolithic. To address this, we transitioned to a microservices-based architecture. Leveraging Microsoft technologies, including Terminals version 23, we’ve revamped our banking operations. Not all services are microservices; some remain monolithic for simplicity. Containerization is pivotal, with OpenShift (based on Kubernetes and Docker) managing our microservices."
"Excellent technical support."
"The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability."
"The interface could be improved."
"The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive."
"Some services which were easy to use through shortcuts are now more complicated to use."
"In terms of additional features we'd like to see, the one thing that comes to mind is better integration with Oracle. We have a lot of Oracle databases, and there is no other option to either migrate to PaaS, stay on-prem, or use Oracle Private Cloud."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"Not all of the functionality is available in Europe and our customers in France want to be able to use features that are only available in the US."
"Some extensions are better than others."
"They currently have fewer regions in Asia, especially in India, China, and other places. They can maybe put more data centers in this region."
"The support and pricing need to improve."
"One issue with the solution is latency because there is lag time when we connect."
"lacking in multi-cloud management."
"I've noticed that the satellite services layer requires some improvement compared to platforms like Azure or Microsoft. While it's in development, I believe the satellite layer has room for enhancement. Additionally, the DevOps layer could benefit from closer integrations, especially for using external applications like Jenkins."
"Auto-scaling and managing pod scaling in the microservices architecture, a core feature of IBM Cloud Private, can pose challenges, especially when dealing with larger volumes of traffic."
