User Testimonials
	FileCatalyst	IBM Aspera on Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Fortra No answers on this topic	IBM In one specific situation I had to quickly transfer about ten files really fast that were really large but my colleague from another company only had Aspera and it worked so well with no errors and was so fast. It was really helpful to get our promo done with our strict deadline. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Fortra No answers on this topic	IBM 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Fortra No answers on this topic	IBM 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) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Fortra No answers on this topic	IBM 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.

Alternatives Considered	Fortra No answers on this topic	IBM 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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
