IBM Aspera
(1 Rating)
IBM Aspera takes a different approach to tackling the challenges of big data movement over global WANs. Rather than optimize or accelerate data transfer, eliminates underlying bottlenecks by using its proprietary fasp technology that utilizes available network bandwidth to maximize speed and quickly scale up with no theoretical limit. Using fasp, transfers are secure end-to-end and are largely unaffected by file size, transfer distance, or network conditions, making transfer times up to 100Xs faster than TCP-based protocols. Aspera offers SaaS, on-prem, and hybrid solutions to meet the needs of modernizing infrastructures. All solutions offer robust security and compliance, intuitive file sharing, workflow automation, central administration, and real-time visibility. Quickly and easily initiate transfers across hybrid infrastructures, including support for cloud-to-cloud transfers. IBM Aspera offers unmatched transfer speeds, end-to-end security, reliability, and bandwidth control.

    "Great Product"

    Posted 2021-02-20

    Pros: Syncs large tables.
    Easy to learn and use.
    Support is excellent.
    Saved us a lot of money vs developing our own sync solution.
    Reasonable price.
    Try before you buy.

    Cons: It would have been nice if the trial license could have lasted longer. I had to get it renewed by presales a couple of times to finish my testing of the product.

    Overall: A very solid product if you are looking for a product that will reliably sync sharepoint list data to/from an sql database.

    "Top!"

    Posted 2021-01-14

    Pros: - Easy to use
    - Still well customizable
    - Dynamic columns programmable with .NET code
    - Stable and powerful
    - Reasonable priced
    - Uncomplicated and direct support
    - Wide range of data sources and targets

    Cons: None so far (has been used in many customer projects).

    Overall: We have been using Layer2 products for many years (formerly the Layer2 Business Data List Connector for SharePoint ) in a wide variety of customer projects and are always delighted with the stability and reliability. Especially in the more and more frequent cloud scenarios, Layer2 Cloud Connector is an important building block for us to easily transport and keep data synchronized between File System, Active Directory, SQL, Exchange and SharePoint Online. Great tool and uncomplicated, quick and competent support if there are any questions. Besides, the price is manageable. Top!
