IBM Blockchain Platform vs. Corda

In my personal opinion, IBM Blockchain Platform is an off-the-shelf ready blockchain service offering. Customers can focus on building their solution rather than understanding the nitty-gritty of blockchain network setup, implementation & maintenance. Gives the advantage of Time to market. With IBM Blockchain Platform customers could potentially launch their blockchain based solutions in a very short timeframe.

• Ready-made, as needed features are available to use, so we can focus on the functionality and leave the rest up to IBM.
• Stable, as it is cloud-based and IBM takes care of the infrastructure
• Future, we were using open source at first, but after less than a year, it was no longer an option. But we can trust IBM will continue to support blockchain as a technology partner.

• Sometimes when I try to instantiate a chain code, it won't let me and the error messages aren't clear so I can't work on a solution
• When a peer is not working, it's hard to know why just from the console

In many cases I do not have to reach out to support because the knowledge base is very detailed, presenting the solutions step by step in a very detailed and intuitive way. At other times the first-level support does not have the necessary knowledge and you must wait for technical support. This is common in any provider but I would love to receive immediate, qualified support through the chat

The use of Hyperledger Fabric from the IBM Blockchain Platform is a clear advantage against the other platforms, because [it] is an open standard and it is more efficient because of the centralized ordering service.

• We are still at early stages to really define the ROI for using IBM Blockchain Platform, but we will not shy off from saying that IBM Blockchain Platform has really simplified for us to adopt a new technology and explore applications around the same.
