Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
IBM's Cloud Object storage has a very wide scope of use. In our organization, it is being used for internal operations which involves a lot of data generation from one department/subsidiary to the other. It has been an efficient and faster way to access bulk of this unstructured data. We work with a lot of students data which they generate through portal, and this has been a cost effective way to store it.
Pros
- Scales well (faster)
- User friendly once set up
- Reliability has never been an issue
Cons
- Set up process could have been easier
- More dashboard analytics on data
- Access control
- Interface
- Very cost effective
- Efficient management
- Faster access to data
- Better internal workflows
Yes, in some manner it has helped us to manage cost and use Cloud Object Storage more efficiently. We have been able to access the data faster for data exploration and ad-hoc data analysis. These are just initial views as it is to be explored more by our team for an upcoming task.
Aspera has enabled us to upload gigabytes of data each day on our WAN. It gets us real-time data feedback which in turn has made many of our internal workflows efficient, without worrying about aspects of data security.
Flexibility in storage tiers has helped us save a lot of money. There are some instances (which are difficult to predict) when we our data is dynamic, which is cool otherwise. This feature of IBM Cloud Object Storage has been a key factor in deciding which storage to opt. We have been using the smart tier.

We selected IBM Cloud Object Storage against S3 for following reasons:1.
1. We already use a lot of IBM's cloud services, IBM Cloud Object Storage would have been easier to manage.
2. It is really cost effective with the features it brings in.
3. Relatively easier to set up.
