Overall Satisfaction with Apple iCloud

Apple iCloud is used for staff members who use their own Mac products with the company. It is a way for us to collaborate without having to teach staff new programs or moving them from the programs they are used to. It is mainly used to sync calendars and documents. It addresses the communication gap.

Pros

  • It is user-friendly
  • It is available for business and personal
  • There isn't a hard learning curve

Cons

  • If Apple iCloud had a word document integration it would help since 90% of people use it over Pages.
  • If Apple iCloud could sync on non Apple devices, I have not checked on whether it does but it would help a ton as many companies have individuals with non-apple devices.
  • Better automated organization. Many programs have organization automation, which helps in keeping certain documents in certain folders. That is one of the main complaints from users.
  • 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
One Drive can allow users to collaborate in realtime and rare crashes on documents. The storage is very generous, and pricing for business, especially non-profits, is fair. One Drive also allows for better photo storage for us as a school. We can keep yearbook items and also have group folders and personal folders attached to our emails.

Do you think Apple iCloud delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Apple iCloud's feature set?

No

Did Apple iCloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Apple iCloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Apple iCloud again?

Yes

Apple iCloud is well suited for organizations that are flexible in cloud storage. If you are a company that is mainly on Microsoft products, it is much easier to have files on One Drive as opposed to Apple iCloud. It is also more appropriate to use it if companies are providing Apple products for employees.

Apple iCloud Support

I have not yet used support for Apple iCloud. However, having used apple support in the past, I feel like they would be just as competent in walking through issues in regards to the Apple iCloud product. Because I have not had any significant issues, I cannot give a fair review of this part.
