Akamai Identity Cloud vs. Univention Corporate Server (UCS)

It helps to store our data online and also they provide security to our data. We can access our data anytime and anywhere. The Initial setup was heavy it could have been much better. To overcome this they do provide good customer support where we can call them to clear our concerns. It is not suitable for small business people where the cost is high inside many can't afford their plans.
