    Lightning-Fast Transfers, But Pricey for Small Teams

    Reviewed on Feb 03, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I use IBM Aspera on Cloud for high-speed file transfer and secure data synchronization across geographically dispersed teams and systems. I appreciate its speed and reliability when transferring very large files, which consistently deliver fast, reliable transfers that traditional FTP and HTTP simply can't match. IBM Aspera on Cloud combines performance, security, and ease of use, which is hard to find in other file transfer solutions. The FASP protocol it uses delivers speeds up to 100 times faster than FTP/HTTP over any distance, which is great for minimizing latency for massive datasets like media or backups that are critical for global teams.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I don't like the pricing model of IBM Aspera on Cloud. The usage-based pricing can be surprising, especially with spikes during heavy transfers. It becomes expensive for small teams compared to competitors.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use IBM Aspera on Cloud for high-speed file transfer and secure data synchronization. It solves my issues with transferring large files across distributed teams and systems, offering reliability and performance that traditional methods can't match.
