SmartVault is a file syncing and sharing option from the Houston based company of the same name.
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.
SmartVault sends out a cover letter with the tax returns that includes a link for them to download their tax returns, avoiding the insecurity of an email attachment. It does not include a statement retrieval feature but does work very nicely with a third-party app called FileThis. The majority of the users in the office have not been able to install the Outlook plug-in due to "a certificate error." In five years, SmartVault has not addressed this issue.
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 .
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.
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.
The support from IBM is fast and reliable. Very knowledgeable engineers provide you with the support on Aspera. We had a very good experience when opened tickets and we were able to get our issues resolved quickly. Most solutions are provided within a day so you can expect a quick turnaround time. Overall, the support has been very good.
Reaching someone is more difficult than it should be. Also, they don't take possession of known issues always suggesting it is a local PC issue in initial conversations. That, of course, can be frustrating for the end-user.
The service provided by the authorized vendor was excellent. It was a good collaboration between the vendor IT team and internal IT team. They provided us with a timeline and we verified and approved that timeline. Daily stand ups and weekly meetups were conducted to update the internal team on progress. They were able to deliver all deliverables on time also, they conducted both alpha testing and beta version testing in time. Overall, they were able to complete the implementation in the given timeline.
These cloud storage products deliver sufficient space to store data and access and have an array of ways to transfer this data and keep it secure. IBM Aspera on Cloud focuses on the transfer and makes it a lot faster mainly due to its patented tech and altered UDP protocol. Since most of production code uses IBM services, it was natural to go with IBM Aspera on Cloud.
It is an outstanding product. It is proven and works well. IBM has thought of everything as the product works well and it can scale. I highly recomend this product.
