If I believe that outrageous deals are available, then I can't help but think that whatever I do, this company will end up outrageously ripping me off if I do business with them. After all, why else is an outrageous deal possible?
- verdverm 7y agoBecause their sticker price is 2x the competitors and they are willing to take a loss to get people on the platform. They are not winning in the cloud wars.
- scarface74 7y agoWould you trust such a company over AWS or Azure?
- verdverm 7y agoNope, I use GCP first
- scarface74 7y agoI don’t have anything against GCP on a technical level - I don’t know enough to. But their enterprise support is abysmal and that whole “No one ever got fired for buying AWS/Azure”.
- quickthrower2 7y agoBut they might get fired buying from IBM
- scarface74 7y agoI’m not sure. I think IBM will be selling systems compatible with the mainframes of the 70s until the heat death of the universe.
- verdverm 7y agoI can sell you some IBM if you'd like, official reseller. Working on the GCP equivalent if you prefer :]
- gesman 7y agoIBM better get their act together to make your (reseller) life easier. I used to work with IBM big data analytical tool and honestly you should get a medal for closing sales on this garbage.
