    It is highly recommended to organisations with global presence. It is highly recommended to organisation focuses more on security and bandwidth. Super secured network. Best customer support you could get. The UI design seems to be something which is lacking better user experience, but this can be developed going further. Cost is also one thing to keep a check on.

    In terms of business challenges, it simplifies the job of my engineers and significantly increases the productivity of my teams when they collaborate with IBM teams all over the world. Now that we have completed a proof-of-concept using the services supplied by IBM, we expect it to assist us in managing them more efficiently; thus far, management has been straightforward.

    • Proxy services do not work on wildcard DNS entries.

    As I mentioned earlier, the kind of security providing is to the best in market you could get. It is one of the major factor to select it. Along with that they are providing global presence and dedicated network with larger capacity. That pretty much sums up why we went for this product.

    I have used Salesforce to explore it as an app but I have found them both able to solve my needs and requirements when it comes to security. While I choose IBM Cloud Internet Services for more accessibility, a better price was available with Saleforce. Although that is just my observation.
