For how it helps our team with data storage and connecting to GA4 as a backup option, and the incredibly low cost for us to use it and reliably back up our data, I would highly recommend using this tool for all of your cloud storage needs. It's easy to use and their customer service is always responsive and easy to get a hold of.

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.

Alternatives Considered
I feel GCS buckets are pretty interchangeable with Amazon S3 as far as I have typically used them. It just depends on who or your company wants to give money to. I have liked the Google Cloud Platform BigQuery console better than the interface for Snowflake, but that may be due to familiarity and the proportion of time I've used Google Cloud Platform over Snowflake.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Approx 30% cost savings after moving from on-prem to GCP due to reduced hardware, maintenance of DC support, and energy costs.
  • There are much faster release cycles due to CI/CD pipelines with cloud build and scalable infrastructure using GKE. It works very nicely.
  • We use BigQuery a lot, and what used to take hours now takes minutes, speeding up business decisions across teams. Clients.
