Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Easy to manage and fully secure."
"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."
"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 is scalable."
"Google Chat is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"We use Google Sheets extensively for things like sharing plans, data, test reports, and more."
"When it comes to email, Google has a very good anti-spam engine or solution. We get very less spams. We don't have to use an external anti-spam solution with this."
"I think it is a great subscription for me. I think it is important, especially when making an internal email subscription. For example, I can easily create my colleague's email address, and we can use it. I benefited from G Suite. I am using the G Suite Drive, which provides 30GB of storage, and it is helping for me. I think it's better for me."
"The features we use quite a lot are the mail and Google Drive. We can store documents and share documents between both employees here, locally in Sweden, and we have an office in the US as well. It's a very easy way to share information and documents, and have online meetings and stuff with Google Meet. We use it quite a lot."
"Google Mail lets you link a task to a specific email and add a reminder. That's helpful for reviewing your schedule. It's based on Slack, so you don't have these folders like in Microsoft mail. Using Slack instead of folders is a bit more intuitive. It's easier to find again a specific email than using Microsoft Suite. If you misplace things, it's much easier to find them because of Google's search capability."
"In terms of email, I could probably do the same things with other programs, however, I find 90% of my usage is Gmail."
"Convenient to share and collaborate documents."
"They should integrate the solution with more email services."
"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."
"There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."
"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."
"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices."
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item."
"The user interface is not very intuitive."
"Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations."
"Expensive with a complicated licensing structure."
"I don't recommend Google Workspace to others. It's expensive. Also, Google doesn't have enough oversight on their partners, so you will face some difficulties dealing with them instead of directly with Google."
"I talked with G Suite recently because my G Suite has a temporary block. I communicated with the G Suite representative or Google representative, and he told me that I sent a lot of emails, so my email was temporarily blocked. But I know I have not sent more than 500 emails daily to reach the limit. I sent only 5,200 emails, but unfortunately, my G Suite account was temporarily blocked for 24 hours, and then he resolved it. I think they need to improve G Suite because this temporary block is not fair."
"And I think Google Translate could add more features. For example, it could be integrated when typing in a document or a web browser like Grammarly."
"The problem with the presentation is that if you upload a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and you convert it to Google presentation, the slides or pictures, their images are not editable. You can't edit the slides that you brought in. They're just images."
"G-Suite is excellent for what we're trying to do, but it could use some extra features. For example, it would be helpful if we had a seamless way to convert Excel macros to Google Sheets."
"Sometimes, I would like to be able to use the solution offline, and I can't do so. It would be ideal if there was some sort of offline mode available."
