| 1331169 | 2013-03-04 10:07:00 | Our IT guy at our firm is absolutely against any use of online products like Evernote, CRM products etc. Am I being unreasonable thinking he is being paranoid - it seems all big names online get hacked eventually but the chances of my data getting lifted (or being interesting to anyone) seems remote! Is the data on our server actually any safer? Interested in your thoughts (and yes i know Evernote has been hacked...) |

| 1331170 | 2013-03-04 10:37:00 | I don't have a problem storing my university notes on SkyDrive. So I would say he is being a bit too paranoid. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1331171 | 2013-03-04 10:39:00 | We are pretty against it out selfs as a legal firm. It's the lack of control, data likely not stored in NZ, do we really want to risk clients data? MS took down their entire Azure storage because they forgot to renew a cert. (I'm sure Nathan will be here to defend them soon :p) IBM had their data center down for 2-3 days, last I saw with very little explanation. So it's not like it's more reliable than in house. Yes it is possible to have this kind of thing happen in house too, but at least you have the control over what's going on and a DR solution. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1331172 | 2013-03-04 10:43:00 | IMHO, no he isn't (especially for a business), and yes it is (safer on your own server). There is also the question of the legal jurisdiction the data resides in, and the potential risks that may entail if you have responsibility for that data. If it is your shopping lists and poems, fine. edit: @ Alex B +1 (while I was posting) :) |

| 1331173 | 2013-03-05 03:32:00 | you need to look at the benefits as well as the risks and way them up and decide rather than just saying on-premises good, in the cloud bad. | nmercer (3899) | ||
| 1331174 | 2013-03-05 04:18:00 | Well it depends. Your opinion differs from his/hers, so if you think that it is okay to use such services than it is. Anyways you can't avoid it nowdays to use such services. | SanChippy (16951) | ||
