Verified User Engineer Chose IBM Aspera on Cloud Aspera was used by most of our members (but not all), IBM consultancy was able to help for setting up the infrastructure in a couple of hours.

User Testimonials
	IBM Aspera on Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM IBM Aspera on Cloud is a great tool for the ones who are looking for a tool which can transfer large datasets, backups, raw files etc., quickly. I think that it is well suited where data transfer at high speed is required and reliability is important. However, it can be less useful for smaller files or data transfer as it can be done with basic tools. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	IBM Unlike many others , IBM Aspera on Cloud has the ability to transfer large files even upto 100s of GB really quick . The transfers that used to take 5-6 hours or even sometimes failed after waiting that much of time with IMB same files only take like 30 minutes even over long distances . Not only it transfers data fast , but IBM Aspera on Cloud on cloud also handles inturrpted transfers well even in case of disconnection or bad connection , the platform automatically resumes from where it got paused saving us a lot of time in starting over . This is huge advantage for large files for example when shifting database exports or large technical confirguration bundles from a remote office with bad connection , IBM Aspera on Cloud resumes automatically and dont have to start it over .

Cons	IBM Track upload/download usage OVERALL to know how much space is left Track cloud storage overall to know how much space is left More easily send single links to users for download, rather than full access (I know it is possible, but it is not intuitive) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	IBM 1) It works. 2) Is is secure 3) It is fast It provides firms the ability to communicate with vendors other clients and new clients in a way that will help you grow your business. In our business, flies are getting larger larger and can hold companies back in their overall business goals. Incentivized JM Jim McDonough President Read full review
Usability	IBM The interface is very pleasing and so easy to use. I have never used a program that was so simple and so effective. Other programs have too many unnecessary features and make everything really daunting and then you just go elsewhere. IBM Aspera is perfect for easy transfers with minimal features.
