Like

I would like IBM service 24/7 to be available for the support team to provide a quick response and resolution for cloud services.

Dislike

The main challenge is the initial learning curve. Some features can be complex to set up and require time to fully understand but with guidance from IBM's support team it becomes much easier to use effectively

Dislike

The implementation of the suite using Azure cloud platform and Redhat was not as expected because of product minor bugs, required several workarounds executed by the IBM partner including plenty of IBM support time than expected.

Dislike

Sometimes it depends on the internet and cost of the license is high compared to other cloud service vendors.
