What do you like best about IBM Aspera on Cloud?

What I like best is the fact that people at our company don’t have to terminate their accounts with other cloud services. They can all coexist with the IBM software. It’s made it really easy to seamlessly move files around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
