Overall Satisfaction with Apple iCloud

I've deployed Apple iCloud across my team. Serving as an additional data repository to Google Drive. Everyone's media files (photos, mobile settings, calendars, and contacts) are automatically backed up to iCloud.
  • Ease of use/integration into the whole Apple ecosystem.
  • Mobility of data across devices (phone vs tablet vs desktop).
  • The iCloud.com interface is not as user-friendly as the competition.
  • Consolidated data repository costs (positive).
  • Ease of management/administration (positive).
Google Drive is still my primary repository - I use iCloud as a secondary. This is primarily due to the issues noted with iCloud.com.
I haven't had to use support for iCloud.

Small to medium-sized collaboration and data repositories are where Apple iCloud is best suited. The platform will work across multi-OS environments but is much more suited for the Apple ecosystem.
