MacinCloud.com Anmeldelser 256

I was in desperate need of mac system for short duration and after long search, tumbled up on macincloud.com. The subscription process was simple and the subsequent experience with mac was super easy. All software programs I need were already installed and kept. I actually spent lot less time compared to what I would have spent on a physical machine. The service was awesome. Highly recommend it!!

Bad experience
Impossible to work, always problems

Its the best for the price. I don't know the rating is so low. But i think, the services is so good. The support is have a fast reply and that why i love their services.

Here's why you should have MacinCloud: I have a small office in SF. It's got a great view, since it's on a boat, in a slip at pier 39. And this is relevant, but I'll get back to it.

Since I have mostly business intranet systems to deal with, 99% of my work is windows. But, I've got a couple iPad apps that I wrote in Ionic that I have to deal with.

So, a couple months ago, my damn mac broke and I was desperate. I had to get a new mac to push a distribution out ASAP. So, I signed up and was given an AWESOME machine with every damn developer app I wanted already installed. I was astonished. I thought I'd be spending all night installing vs code, and xcode and git and dnpm and node, and postman, etc... etc..etc.. Nope. All there, ready to go. It was like being handed a full meal when you are starving.

So, I got all my work done and pushed things out without too many glitches. Then, it was such a nice environment, I started using it occassionally when I was at home, because it was soooo fast. Seriously, it's like 750mps downstream and the processor on that is way faster than whatever they say it is. Honestly, I've got windows VMs on AWS and Azure, so this was pretty sweet.

Still, I figured.... I shouldn't rent when I can own. So I went and bought a macmini, and stuck it on the network. Had my intern spend a full damn day installing all the crap I need on it and it was still kinda slow compared to Macincloud.

But, I didn't leave Macincloud. Why, you may ask....

I had a plumbing screwup and boom..... whole damn boat sank, taking my servers, network gear, laptop, macmini etc... the whole thing to the damn bottom of the f***ng bay.

But.... I had a crappy backup laptop and Macincloud. I didn't even pause work.

Of all the bad things that have happened this year, I figured I'd take a few minutes to point out a positive. Thanks -d

I took the 24-hour trial that was supposed to be free and they immediatelly charged me for the whole month. I canceled within the next 8 hours but they didn't refund or anything

Required some help installing apps: awesome fast service each time - good stuff. (Applies to Australian based-servers and support)

Tried this service to begin learning Mac OS. Service was advertised as $1 per hour pay as you go. Turned out you had to pay $30 for for 30 hours with automated billing.

Getting it setup was a little bit awkward, and the login process was not smooth for each session. The service is extremely slow unless you choose the low graphics setting, which makes it somewhat usable.

The service charges you for as long as you are "logged in" to a session- if you close the window for the remote session, you can still be logged in. I found this out by checking the slow to update section that tracks your usage on your account. After approximately 5 hours of actually using the service, I found out I was going to be billed for using it for 30+ hours, and that I would automatically be billed for another $30 of usage time.

Not very impressed- it's usable, but the overall experience is disjointed, unpolished and it was not made obvious that I needed to manually log out of the service to stop my usage, instead of just closing the window I was using. I'm frustrated I'll most likely be paying $60 for about 5 hours of usage time, with 1 of those hours spent figuring out how to make the service not be prohibitively slow (2-3 seconds before responding to a mouse click).

Works as expected. Fast support.

Very quick and precise support considering subscriptions. Looking forward to a good and lasting relationship!

Too slow and bug at any time
and when you write we answer you after days

Not very reliable and support is terrible. We need to do work on the server today and it's unavailable due to maintenance. No warning, no way of checking status of macincloud and support is slow to non existent. Will be looking at alternatives sadly.

Slowest ever. Both the speed of the Mac and customer service... After fighting with them and searching for a decent cloud Mac service, we ended up switching to xcodeclub.com and are very happy with them. Hope this saves you time and frustration.

Their service did not help me. I found the access very slow and difficult to work.

Now I'm trying to cancel, but imagine the difficulty ...

At first they said they will refund the money according to what we use, but since yesterday I have been trying to cancel and get the money back.

But it is too difficult.

I hope I helped someone.

The speed is far better than I expected. Also, I needed software installed on multiple occasions, so I emailed support and they had it installed within 20 minutes both times.

Highly recommended.

Bad service. Server randomly unreachable. No reason is given for the downtime. Customer support borderline non existent. Avoid this service if you need a mac that is consistently reachable .

Just don't go for their service.It's pathetic.
The server is low almost all the time.

The best 🌸
It’s very fast 🔥
I like it 🌸

Very good, you pay just enough, you use what you need, very good quality of the mac, I had no problems.
Surely in the near future I will use it again.

Pathetic service, waste of money, no point using them.. I would really be happy to recommend the founders to shut shop instead of Crapy service..
