Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The service they offer is good value, and worked fine for my needs (iOS app development). But their business model seems to rely on making people pay for things they didn't intend to. Three reasons I... See more

Lousy attempt to upsell me $15/month service which takes multiple days of blocking me from my server for which I already paid $80/month

I knew about these servers for years and decided to finally move my CI server renting a dedicated Mac server from them.
It's been already several days while I cannot even access my Mac.

When I try to use connection link from their website to connect to my Mac it says that credentials fail.

I asked the support and it took them a day to respond that I need to use Real VNC software to connect.

OK - i'm trying Real VNC and the first thing I notice is that it warns me that my credentials will be transferred across the network insecurely in plain text ready to be sniffed.

I'm asking Support about this and it takes them a day to respond me that I can install VNC Connect on My Mac to have secure VNC connection and I will have to pay some $ a month for this to the RealVNC company.

I am ok to pay several extra $/month for the VNC connect - BUT I have to first connect to my Mac insecurely to Install it.

I'm asking support about this and I will have to spend another day waiting for the to probably offer me RDP for extra $15/month.

Why not include those $15/month already in the price and make me pay more outright instead of wasting several days of my time while I cannot work on my server???

As an android developer

As an android developer, MacInCloud has worked "out of the box" for me as I get my feet wet using Xcode and SwiftUI for Ios app development. When what seemed to be a software update occurred and "broke" some Xcode functionality, the MacInCloud support team responded quickly, and the functionality was not only fixed with 2 days, but they gave me a description of the issue and fix.

Apple computer out of the box

My customer requested an iOS App, but the problem was that I did not have an Apple computer. MacinCloud proved to be an excellent choice for me, since I was able to develop my App in XCode in about 3 months, with low cost and excellent support. I recommend it.

Need a Mac but can't buy one?

As somebody that didn't want to shell out hundreds for a Mac to code, MacinCloud was a godsend. Connection was very reliable all throughout and they're responsive with their support.

Learnt iOS development using MacinCloud. Very useful & cheap for those without a Mac.

Also its a good backup plan just incase your machines aren't working or are unavailable.

So I will surely be using this service from time to time.

It works but very slow at times (50-60% of the time)

It works but is very slow at times. When it is not slow, it is buggy and mediocre at best. I have been using it for over a year now to help develop and maintain our app. But now we finally decided to buy the MacBook pro (despite hating apple). This service is just too slow for our next rollout.

Exploitive business practices

This is the kind of company that knows you have like no other options and that if you don't pay for their product you will fail a course or get fired from a job. If you can find any other option go for it. They will double charge you, they will not respond in a prompt manner to any complaint, and they will hide behind a flimsy "All sales are final" shield. They don't even have a contact number for you to call just to avoid the consequences of their exploitive buisness practices.

On a technical side of things, their connection is slow, and laggy. But it is functional.

Bad Quality

Support is as slow as the System. Actual the system recovered itself before the service did the requested reboot ....

They write that sound is supported via RDP but once you look into the details its only for specific systems and/or specific applications. So If you wan't to check accessibility features you're screwed.

Chef's kiss!

The people at MacinCloud are excellent at what they do and they will go out of their way to help you set up your server. Great service! My company has been using their services for almost 2 years now. Highly recommend!

Looked promising but it doesn't work at all.. at some point couldn't open any software due to permissions (?!), connection occasionally doesn't work, sometimes it freezes... basically in the first two days of usage the time working was less than the time spent trying to figure out their issues. Avoid.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Business is set up in a way where they are trying to extract more money for extremely basic functions. Eg. installing postgres and Xcode. Horrific customer service.
