The ability to trace items for agriculture clients from beginning to end of the supply chain process. It helps our clients keep up with their products, and if need be recall an item before it hits the market.

Cost. While efficient and the best on the market - Ouch! in the pricing department.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best blockchain program around. This is by far the most comprehensive for a business to use when tracking shipments.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We/Clients are solving critical timing issues with regards to delivery of items. With blockchain, we are able to trace products from leaving its origin to it's destination.

What do you like best?
IBP makes it very easy to create the infrastructure of a network, and establish channels and peers.
What do you dislike?
There is still a lot of development required to build out the client app and front end applications. It would be great if IBP had more resources for this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Come in with developing experience.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We are looking at Supply Chain efficiencies and transparency. IBP allows ease of use in creating this shared platform and identifying the permissions for each party involved throughout the supply chain.

What do you like best?
IBM has made their permissioned solution work well with permissionless solutions. There are some interesting aspects to speed up the HyperLedger transactions and also incorporate public block chain if assets required external network verications. For example Hedera with IBM BC and its Hyper Ledger support.
What do you dislike?
Technology idiosyncrasies with the technology is common. There are many speed bumps to overcome.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For many industrial or solutions where you do not the public blockchain involved and want backing of a large company then IBM is a good solution.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Having used Ethereum and other solutions for distributed technologies, the benefits we are trying to realize is an aspect of patient data, and other basic features (among a STO). Speed and provenance of the data is of the essence and see that over time we will have robust solutions in place.
