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

"can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility.""Compared to other solutions such as Microsoft, this solution offers faster synchronization.""This solution has become an enhanced product over the years. It is more stable and they keep adding features.""It's a stable product.""The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure.""The initial setup is easy.""Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer.""When we collaborate on a team project, everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the project."

Cons
"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.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""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.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."

"Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users.""The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""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.""Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required.""Google Drive could offer more free storage.""The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to.""The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution. If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite.""I would like to see the price reduced in the next release."
