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.""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.""The solution is scalable.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""It's user-friendly for end users.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products."

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"The products are quite simple for the end-users to use, the up-time is very good, the product is practically maintenance-free, and the multi-layer security is excellent from the security standpoint.""There are all sorts of really good tools for use on the information security side that allow us to make sure that our people are doing business and doing business right.""I like that it is cloud-based, wherefrom any computer I can access my documents and continue working.""The most valuable feature of Office 365 is that it has many solutions bundled together.""The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent.""It's nice that it's an all-in-one solution and everything is all in one place.""Many of the features in Office 365 are good, but I think Excel is a very good tool.""Quarantine email alerts to users to allow the email to their inbox (tricky but handy) - tricky if one doesn't have third-party email security, handy if one has got good third party email security)."

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.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"Integration between Outlook calendar and Google Calendar would be a good improvement since many of our team use Android phones and personal Gmail accounts as their main calendar application.""The security should be improved.""It needs improvements around its compatibility with non-Microsoft products.""It would be a fantastic opportunity if their solution could be used in combination with VoIP software, allowing you to combine VoIP software and Office 365 on a single platform.""If two people update the same file, it causes issues.""Office 365 could be easier to use at first. Tutorials are needed to know how to use the solution.""As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request.""We have had some connectivity issues."
