Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's user-friendly for end users.""ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution.""Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""The solution is scalable.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords."

"It's easy to use.""We are satisfied with the parameters of Google Cloud Storage.""The responses from the technical team are fast...It is a stable product...We do have plans to increase the number of users since it is a scalable product.""The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution.""The solution is already stable and I have not encountered problems in this regard.""The performance is good.""You do not need to install anything.""The solution operates in the background and it is attached to my Gmail account. When I download files to my phone, such as pictures, they automatically go to Google Cloud Storage."

Cons
"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.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost.""User management could be better. It's complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users.""The problem I face right now is that my data warehouse is being hosted on Google Cloud, however, integration between Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure is a big problem.""The solution could improve by adding an automatic removal of duplications feature.""An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible.""The user interface could be more intuitive.""It would be better to assign storage usage to different categories, because storage capacity is cumulative, if your Google album and email are both full, you will be unable to send or receive email.""This solution could be improved by increasing integration with other tools, like Microsoft."
