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

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful.""With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues.""It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily.""It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365.""Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format.""It is well integrated with other Microsoft products.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members.""It helps you keep organized."

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.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""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.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item."

"The scalability has room for improvement.""I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program.""Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support.""The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders.""Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns.""The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone.""The user interface could be a little more intuitive.""An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
