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

"For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device.""It is very convenient and easy to access.""Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot.""It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document.""I can check emails from anywhere, and use the applications wherever I am.""The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me.""I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices. It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time. I also like the versioning features.""The ability to simultaneously edit files is really useful."

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

"Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking.""There is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. Some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced so this product is a more complete replacement for Excel.""The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience.""I would like to see larger storage capabilities.""The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document.""Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.""The price could be better. Google should rethink and realign its pricing strategy along with the storage prices because storage prices are going down for on-premise solutions. If they can reduce the cost or increase the storage capacity for that same tier, that would be a great advantage."
