Cons
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with.""The product must be more secure.""The tool must allow more customization.""Google Drive Enterprise is expensive. Google Sheets APIs need improvement.""The Google Sheets should have more functionality.""Google Drive Enterprise can improve by suggesting to me I have duplicate files or some kind of duplicate feature. If it can give that kind of advice, it would be a great feature on a drive storage capability. There has to be some kind of machine learning to analyze individual data and provide recommendations.""The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents."
