Overall Satisfaction with IBM Aspera on Cloud
Pros
- Transfer speeds are increased
- Easy to collaborate with multiple teams
- Syncing files on local and cloud
- Data encryption while transferring
Cons
- The web UI, while functional, can feel overwhelming for occasional users (e.g., clients or external partners) who just need to upload/download files
- A lightweight web-based downloader (like WeTransfer) for small files could reduce friction.
- Unlike competitors (e.g., Box, Dropbox), Aspera doesn’t support previewing files (e.g., images, PDFs) in the browser—users must download first.
- A gaming company scaled to 2M+ downloads/month without CDN overages.
- Can be overly priced for small companies or subsidiaries.
- External partners struggled with the Aspera Connect plugin, delaying projects
Terrible for large files.
