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

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"Bandwidth usage is not always the same depending on the network connection.""The customization after the initial setup can take a while.""Not everyone can afford the product.""The user interface could be a bit better.""One thing we did not like, about Excel particularly, is that it hangs a lot. It hangs a lot compared to Google Sheets.""Flow and Form components can be improved individually, but it would be nice to see the product take the next step and operate as a unit rather than separate modules.""Microsoft needs to enhance its part in service management. I believe they have a product called Orchestrator, it does not get the same benefits and functionality as the rest of the solutions such as Dynamics or Office 365. They can improve by providing more integration with other solutions to cover the full business spectrum of needs, this would be a great benefit.""The solution should have better integration with other platforms."

  • "USD $1,250 annually for the standard package."
  • "Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."

  • "It works out to be $12.50 per user per month."
  • "Microsoft 365 Business will be good to have if you have a large organization where you have more than 3000 employees. Other cheaper solutions, like Gmail, are easily available in the market."
