(1-25 of 68)Apple iCloud Collaborative platform
- Extra antivirus or security tools not require
- Faster data availability
- Migration of data from Apple cloud to other are costly affair
Apple Cloud Review.
- The impact is positive. Its money is well invested as the Cloud guarantees data security and savings with storage on local servers.
- Shared work online.
Apple iCloud a must have for Apple users
- Neutral. It helps day to day business but I don't know that it has had a direct impact on ROI.
Sync or Swim - Apple iCloud
- I appreciate really appreciate the real-time file syncing.
Apple iCloud Review
- It has allowed me to find what I need.
- It is frustrating when you do not remember the password.
- The cost to in increase storage could be considered a negative
Does what it needs to do.
- Very little setup
- Easy to get employee buy-in as they are already familiar with it (most are anyway)
- Peace of mind for auto backups
iCloud - Should I delve into the walled garden?
- The ability to not have to only rely on physical media backups has been hugely helpful.
- The costs of a larger plan will be much cheaper for the short term if you have LOTS of storage you might want to look into hard drives for that.
- There are major opportunity costs if important data was not properly backed up.
Apple iCloud Good with Less Implementation
- Positive, It helps staff get work done without having to teach
- Negative: Having to pay and maintain another cloud service
- Negative: Lack of integration with other programs
An excellent tool for Apple users
- Increased efficiency
- Syncing between devices
It's Not Stormy For Apple iCloud
- Mobility. Apple iCloud along with other online storage options has given me the ability to access files and data while away from my office.
- Security. I don't worry about security with my files in Apple iCloud. Of course, I don't generally store highly sensitive files in the cloud.
- Simplicity. I can set up my file folders so that when I know I will need access to certain types of files away from my office, I save time with decision making or moving the files later when I may need to take a trip or visit a client.
- When a computer crashes those without a backup system, this has worked
- No collaboration with Microsoft products
- We have had to get a second cloud environment and pay for 2 instead of just one
iCloud - Syncing, File Sharing, Collaboration, and more!
- Offsite synced data has saved some data that was thought lost.
- Sharing files easily has saved a monthly Dropbox (or like) cost.
- Collaborating on documents has saved time from emailing back and forth.
Great Piece of Mind for Inexpensive Data Backup
- Has saved us from losing data when the device got destroyed by water.
- The monthly cost is low, with great reassurance and peace of mind to have automatic backups.
Apple iCloud works well for a team of Mac users
- We have had less dropped deposits since using this service, attributed to our staff collaborating better.
- Less turnover in staff as technology concerns have eased (they have not disappeared entirely).
- It is easier to fill in for another staff member, as everyone can see notes & documents.
Apple iCloud is the best!
- Using Apple products has had a positive ROI for our business. Sometimes the intangibles matter more than anything, and Apple products provide those intangibles. Having seamless access to anything that I sync through iCloud is important because it allows me to be more productive throughout the day, spending more time on client work and less time trying to find files that I need.
Apple iCloud in Education is a very useful tool
- Currently, in the middle of the replacement of staff devices and Apple iCloud has been beneficial, making the migration process easier and more reliable.
- The ability to access saved content across devices no matter where I am located reduces missed opportunities to share and collaborate.
- The version history has allowed my team to re-visit previous renditions when errors occur - saving valuable time determining the root cause.
- The cloud reduces the number of physical documents one must remember when traveling for work.
Apple iCloud Review
- iCloud gives us the ability to work from practically anywhere as we can seamlessly share documents/send e-mail attachments.
- Each user gets 5 GB of storage for free, and can buy additional storage for a pretty minimal price.
- Employees can access their work no matter what Apple device they use, iPhone, Mac Book, etc.
Apple iCloud Gives Nomads Like Us Peace of Mind
- We don't need to keep buying hard drives to store data.
- We save time retrieving long lost files.
Apple iCloud Saves Time
- Expedited file sharing.
- Access across multiple devices.
Apple iCloud - it's worth it
- Consolidated data repository costs (positive).
- Ease of management/administration (positive).
iCloud - You can't live without it
- It's simplified my day-to-day workflow allowing me to focus on other things than data sync.
- It's really helped save me when a Mac or iPhone has crashed or was stolen.
Apple iCloud - a Less Good Google Docs
- It's initially been a positive ROI in that it helped us share information across our team.
- I would say that the monthly charge, though negligible, does make me less apt to use it than Google Docs.
- The organizational element helps keep us in check and look at what everyone is contributing.
Simple cloud storage that "just works"
- Allowed us to not worry about the IT overhead associated with keeping manual backups.
- Seamless integration with computers allowed employees to setup iCloud themselves.
- Low price compared to other options.
A great place to store apple files, yet a horrible program!
- It has helped streamline data sharing.
- It has led to the mysterious disappearance of several files.
- It has made us think twice about the cloud service we use.
