DataMotion vs. IBM Aspera on Cloud

The Datamotion Secure Mail plug-in can be installed and used in Outlook while sending mail. In the search category, if you keep SecureMail 500 Admin and hit go, you can see how many admins there are. You can also see how many users there are and the license consumption.

Barring the cost-prohibitive nature of some of the IBM Aspera solutions, IBM Aspera on Cloud is the appropriate solution for many file transfer workloads. Even at smaller volumes and lighter-weight files, Aspera's Hot Folder automation is a well-built and excellent solution for most file transfer needs.

• It gives us a view of email usage on the network, as well as a view of all email viruses hitting the mail servers. This allows us to quickly identify and respond to any security threats and ensure that their email infrastructure is protected against potential attacks.
• Tracking of communications and monitoring of audit transfers.
• filtering of email messages and encryption of sensitive customer data.

Incentivized

• Ease of use: the Graphical User Interface doesn't require technical know-how to operate
• Delivery Receipts: this allows us the confidence to know our files have reached our customers
• Activity Monitor: lets you know how much data you have used, which is important for budgeting reasons.

• The address book interface to add users could be made simpler
• The copy and paste feature could be improved
• When composing an email the system should automatically search address book to provide less typing of Contact names already existing as a send to the person

Incentivized

• Track upload/download usage OVERALL to know how much space is left
• Track cloud storage overall to know how much space is left
• More easily send single links to users for download, rather than full access (I know it is possible, but it is not intuitive)

We have more testing to do before we decide if we will make a final decision to use the product as we believe we would also implement datamotion for the acquisitions we have planned for this year

I could see DataMotion being used anywhere that needs to send confidential data or information within our outside of the workplace. This platform sends and receives emails securely. Also, the DataMotion support team response time is very helpful/appreciated and they will help you get things up and running quickly. I would definitely recommend [it].

My experience with Aspera applications and with other vendors. My score will go to 8 as soon as AoC's Files App has the Search Through Sub-folders feature. We want to remove Aspera Shares, which has an older inefficient user interface.

Why are you asking me

Responses always seem timely and the support seems to be pretty good. We haven't really had any major issues with the software yet, so I that's the reason I gave only an 8. If something more difficult were to pop up, I'd have a little more to say on the support for the product.

The support from IBM is fast and reliable. Very knowledgeable engineers provide you with the support on Aspera. We had a very good experience when opened tickets and we were able to get our issues resolved quickly. Most solutions are provided within a day so you can expect a quick turnaround time. Overall, the support has been very good.

Make sure to break up the implementation in phases

The service provided by the authorized vendor was excellent. It was a good collaboration between the vendor IT team and internal IT team. They provided us with a timeline and we verified and approved that timeline. Daily stand ups and weekly meetups were conducted to update the internal team on progress. They were able to deliver all deliverables on time also, they conducted both alpha testing and beta version testing in time. Overall, they were able to complete the implementation in the given timeline.

For us, the deciding factor was the ease with which DataMotion SecureMail could be deployed and managed. We really needed a type of product that wouldn't place too much pressure on the IT department. We also delighted with the DataMotion SecureMail's effectiveness and how drastically it would cut our spam.

Teams can be really slow and the downloads sometimes come out corrupted or the program will just quit or it doesn't seem to like all files to download. While IBM Aspera is more universal and versatile with the files it downloads. Teams might look flashy but its not the best with actually transferring important data quickly like Aspera.

Ridiculous question. It’s scalable and that is why we would want to use it

• Increased efficiency with information sharing as it prevents the need for a cumbersome portal to transmit information/documentation.
• Allows for accurate detail of document timing and deadlines with the tracking of emails sent and read.
• Complies with a number of our audit industries standards for secure encrypted data transmission.

Incentivized

• 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
