Aspera works well, but is hard to implement.
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Aspera on Cloud
To move large data files from on-premise to on the cloud. Most of our unstructured data and even some structured datasets can move quickly into the cloud.
- Easy to connect to data sources
- Fast data moving
- Integrated with IBM cloud
- Difficult to set up
- Firewall causes issues
- Allowed for bigger files to transfer without heavy implementation of data storage in the cloud
Aspera comes with IBM cloud so there isn’t really a choice. Since it’s built-in, it integrates well and there was no need to buy another solution. Therefore, I did not consider other options. It worked fine, gave access files, push data securely, and did it faster than standard HTTPS.
