Overall Satisfaction with IBM Aspera on Cloud

It is used internally to transfer production logs, critical app data and resources. The engineering department uses and maintains it from time to time, the transferred files are accessible to some other concerned department(s) like internal analytics. Fast data transfer, especially for app resources and a cache backup are some problems this works best with.
  • Easy integration with IBM cloud
  • Great batch processing on data
  • Easy to Automate
  • The interface with which a cloud engineer interacts. Current IBM cloud interface difficult to use
  • Error logging/reporting could be better with offering some flexibility and exceptions
  • Predicted ETA a little deceiving
  • Fast data transfers
  • Better batch processing than other products
  • Reliable transfer. No missing, corrupted data
  • Fast transfer of internal files means that more space available at production for more features
  • Internal logs are now easier to transfer and faster to batch process, giving the ability to draw out conclusions and work on improvements faster
  • Good metrics by aspera lets report creation of any transfer easy and transparent. Was previously a tiresome thing to do
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 best suited to products and companies which extensively use IBM cloud and other cloud hosted services by IBM. This is because since the existing interface is a little challenging to use, IBM's own products and platform is well integrated with IBM Aspera on Cloud and there's relatively little work for the integration team
