My experience with AWS, specifically for machine learning model productionization, has been largely positive. We use the complete ecosystem. AWS offers several highly scalable services such as SageMaker, Step Functions and Lambdas to facilitate deployment. We also use AWS Redshift to store metadata for the files stored on the AWS S3 bucket. We also use EC2 instances to set up environments for testing our machine learning models. The great part is that since the EC2 is on the same account as other resources, we can access our AWS services and data directly from the EC2 instance. The complexity and potential costs can be challenging to manage, for instance, step functions are billed for each step instead of for a single input/output. Overall, the platform is powerful, but with a slightly steep learning curve, and a lot more space for cost optimization.Read all insights and reviews for Amazon Web Services

Largely positive experience. Offers an extensive range of services for computing, storage, networking and AI making it suitable for both small and large scale deployments.

IBM Cloud has mitigated all risks we had with aging on-premises equipment. Performance is exceptional and the end users are delighted. We've been live for 9-months so far and have not had any significant technical issues. In terms of total cost of ownership, IBM Cloud was the lowest cost of all the scenarios we reviewed in detail when planning replacement of the legacy hardware. Update: We have been live for over 4-years now. In that time we have not had any major issues, no P1 issues and no outages. The service is totally reliable and still performs exceptionally well. IBM continues to provide excellent customer support for the minor configuration changes needed from time to time.Read all insights and reviews for IBM Cloud

O provedor ainda está se desenvolvendo como player de nuvem, oferecendo poucos serviços gerenciados, no entanto, o que mais chama a atenção é que o suporte deixa a desejar. Em muitos casos os CSM não possuem conhecimento técnico suficiente, são especialistas em indicar uma documentação para ser lida e não raro os casos temos que abrir um ticket onde o suporte é realizado somente em inglês por um time que fica na índia, o que dificulta a experiência.Read all insights and reviews for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
