SugarSync - good technology with dishonest business practices

Rating: 1 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used SugarSync to keep data in sync between my mobile devices and my work laptop.

Pros

  • Excellent transfer speed.
  • Able to synchronize multiple disjoint folders.
  • Excellent retention of deleted files. They can be restored by using their web interface.

Cons

  • SugarSync has dishonest business practices. They make it extremely difficult for an exiting customer to cancel their account; this leads to yearly charges for unused services (similar to the old ColumbiaHouse practices).
  • The prices for their product is high.

Likelihood to Recommend

SugarSync is a great technology, but their dishonest business practices and weak marketing inhibited their market development to the product's real potential. Now, it is too late for them; there are many great products on the market at better prices and with greater respect towards their existing or prospective customers. It does not matter how great their product is when there are many competitors doing the same thing but with better prices and providing better services.
