I worked on an initiative within IBM that was forced to use IBM Cloud. Not only would they not be my first choice, they wouldn’t be in my top 10 choices. And I can’t even name 10 cloud providers.

They offer some interesting products that are completely unique to them. If you need to run on IBMi, z/OS and AIX, they are your only option that doesn't require you to upfront buy hardware.

Their offerings could be a little bit better and more orthogonal though - they could offer Linux on POWER as VMs the same way they do with Linux on Z, as well as AIX and IBMi.
