The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability.
IBM Cloud Private offers excellent technical support and high reliability, integrating seamlessly with API Connect for flexible usage. Users gain control over ESXi environments, facilitating a streamlined transition to microservices architectures aided by containerization and OpenShift. However, the platform faces multi-cloud management difficulties, latency issues, and challenges with auto-scaling during high traffic. Improvements are needed in the satellite services layer, and enhancements in support and pricing are necessary for competitive parity with Azure or Microsoft.
