It makes me feel like my files are kept safe and secure whenever or if they may need to be accessed. I also appreciated the ease in which files can be shared, usually between two email addresses (or more), which employs a secure system and a companion app to help monitor and manage progress. > > **Cons**: Aspera's UI can sometimes be confusing or lead me down the wrong path--sometimes I'm required to backtrack or look for an original Aspera link, which can hamper the ability to get the ball rolling on a transfer. There's a lot of checks to be done before sending a file, which seem to place more burden on the user at times, as opposed to Aspera serving the user. > > Overall, my personal experience has been decent, and I rely on Aspera as my go-to for storing and sending very large files via the Cloud. While there can be administrative hiccups and interface issues, these can be overlooked in favor of Aspera's security apparatus which is frustratingly good at keeping files safe\! ----- ### "Excited and Delighted with IBM Aspera Process for Architectural Clients" — 5.0/5 > **Santiago** | *9 September 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is quick and easy to operate. I think the AWS combination is the best. > > **Cons**: I think that the price is a little high. That is alright, I will pay ahead of time instead of Pay-as-you-Go which is priced more reasonably, soon. > > So far so good, I tested out sharing and if it shares any other files. I am delighted with the process so far. Now I am just wondering where the long-term cold storage is so that I can save originals to it soon before creating and organizing 2D and 3D models for my architecture clients. ----- ### "Easy use an good for startups" — 5.0/5 > **Rohit** | *25 October 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: IBM Aspera’s high-speed data transfer and easy to use > > **Cons**: some this not able uderstand response to handel > > in initial phase it is good for small comapny ----- ### "Transferer à la vitesse supérieure avec IBM Aspera" — 4.0/5 > **Andoniaina** | *11 March 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: L'atout principal de cet outil IBM est la rapidité de transfert, même si la connexion pour le téléversement n'est pas assez performante. En plus, les transferts reprennent en cas de panne de réseau. Niveau sécurité, c'est également le top avec le chiffrement de bout en bout. > > **Cons**: L'interface du cloud IBM est un peu difficile à manipuler. Le tarif est également cher pour les petites entreprises. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/401049/ibm-aspera-on-cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
