For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for two years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Deployment by vendor was not done right. We were looking for a HA solution but it is not configured like that. The vendor configured the server such that, in case the primary server fails, we have to manually configure the secondary server to take over.

We have not encountered any stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is 7/10.

Technical support is 9/10.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

We were looking for a HA solution for Citrix ShareFile but the vendor did not configure it properly. We will be redoing the installation and configuration again in the coming months.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented it through a vendor team. It was OK.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I feel that you can buy fewer licenses and either share them amongst users or assign someone to upload the file, and generate link/send email.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing this product, we did not evaluate other options.

Easy to setup, responsive support network, but needs more granular folder ownership admin.

Valuable Features:

Easy to setup across the enterprise with Active Directory support for better managed security. Very responsive support network.

Room for Improvement:

Would like more granular folder ownership administration. For example, have an administrator create an initial user folder structure and then assign ownership to new user.

ShareFile is very useful because it empowers users to securely share files with other users and to sync files across all of their devices. I also like ShareFile because it integrates well with work tools such as Microsoft Outlook. As another pro, ShareFile is simpler for users to implement and manage, it does not require additional investment.
