Cons
"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop.""OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations.""We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing.""An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site.""It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
