More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"The most valuable features I have found to be accessibility and ease of use.""I don't need to carry my laptop while traveling. I just synchronize whatever I've been doing to Dropbox. After the document is synchronized, I can leave my laptop and use Dropbox wherever I am. I can also easily share a document with my colleagues, no matter how big it is. I can allow them to edit, and the editing will be instant. I can see whatever changes they've made to the document. It doesn't delete a document automatically. If I make a mistake and delete a file, it doesn't automatically delete the file. It gives you the warning to say you're deleting a file. In terms of security, I haven't had any challenges with Dropbox where they tell you that your data is compromised.""I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good.""It ensures all our staff are using the current version of our documents.""The small business version gave us ample capacity.""The security is very good.""Setting up DropBox is straightforward, and one person can do it in less than five minutes.""I use the product to open files."

"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility.""In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily.""Provides easy access to our data."

Cons
"The user interface is not very intuitive.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""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.""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.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers).""They can maybe provide a bit more free space. By default, they give you 2 Gigabytes. The storage space could be a bit more.""It could be more secure.""There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office 365 for more collaboration. At the present time, it is more focused on its own internal systems.""The problem with the storage is that you are only able to synchronize the information within the amount of storage that you have. It doesn't matter if you are accessing from a team member who has more storage, the limitations are with your storage.""I think the product's interface is an area of concern since it has been changed for a long time and can be considered for improvement.""Dropbox needs to increase its storage.""Dropbox could improve by increasing its storage."

More Dropbox Cons →

"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

    Overview
    ShareFile is a secure file sync and sharing service that meets the mobility and collaboration needs of users and the security requirements of businesses.

    Dropbox provides cloud-based file syncing, sharing, and storage. It specializes in helping large-scale businesses stay organized and productive while protecting the integrity of sensitive information with enterprise-level security. Dropbox is a valuable solution for businesses looking to simplify communication, safeguard information, and improve collaboration. Dropbox's platform provides a user-friendly, real-time sharing and storage solution for large businesses.

    The company's enterprise-level service plan includes 256-bit AES and SSL encryption, an optional two-step verification process, and optional mobile passcodes, which provide tight security to protect sensitive information. Dropbox uniquely offers a remote wipe feature, which allows businesses to keep data safe when an employee leaves the company or a computer is lost.

    Dropbox stands out from the competition by offering businesses expanded storage, unlimited file recovery and versioning, and control over sharing permissions. Additionally, Dropbox provides businesses with team management solutions, including device and location tracking, login tracking, detailed user management options for administrators, and centralized billing. 

    Collaboration between team members is further simplified with the addition of various Dropbox apps that allow advanced functionality such as document editing, CRM, and e-signatures. Dropbox has become one of the most popular business tools, entrusted by 97 percent of all Fortune 500 companies.


    Before implementing Dropbox, global apparel merchandiser BCBGMAXAZRIA was struggling to structure communication and increase company-wide efficiency, which resulted in the need for increased staff hours and expenses. Since choosing Dropbox as its cloud-based sharing and storage solution, BCBGMAXAZRIA has been able to restructure its file sharing and collaboration streams in every department. As a result, BCBGMAXAZRIA is able to boost efficiency, reduce expenses, and protect its information throughout all 550 locations.

    Huawei FusionStorage fully distributed cloud storage features massive scale-out capability designed for cloud-based architectures. The on-board storage system software combines the local storage resources of standard x86 servers into fully distributed storage pools, providing block, object, or file storage resources to the upper layer. An enterprise can easily obtain the required flexibility and efficiency in data storage to keep up with the ever-changing dynamics of business.
