Signiant vs. IBM Aspera

Signiant subscription plans provide simple, no-surprises pricing — and we never charge for bandwidth. We pride ourselves on being easy to do business with and work with companies of all sizes to meet their business needs. When you connect Signiant to on-prem storage, you get unlimited transfers, no file-size limits and no silly bandwidth restrictions. When using cloud storage, every Signiant subscription includes a healthy allowance of cloud payload.

Aspera has a very complex product portfolio that many customers find frustrating to understand and it makes pricing overly complex. Many Aspera products include a bandwidth tax which means they limit the amount of bandwidth you can use unless you pay more. With IBM Aspera on Cloud, you pay a per GB transfer fee even when using your own storage. That adds up quickly. In nearly every case, Signiant pricing is far more predictable and more cost effective.

Signiant software is designed to be easy to deploy, operate and use by all who come in contact. We recognize the need for separate user experiences for IT, operations and creative end users. Our software caters specifically to each of those roles. As a true SaaS company, our products can often be up and running the same day, offering quick time-to-value and end-users require no training at all to begin sending and sharing files. It is drag and drop simple and packed with enterprise power.

Aspera products were designed by engineers for engineers. We often hear from the market the frustrations in onboarding new partners and end-users who are overwhelmed with an overly complicated user experience.
