We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Pros →

"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.""It's user-friendly for end users.""The solution is scalable.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically."

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"Google integrates well with our system. G Suite has an open API, so you can connect any open system with Google capable of working with API. This is the main reason we use it.""The most valuable features are the speed at which G Suite Enterprise works.""The security and privacy policies of G Suite make it efficient, and the organizational data is secure.""Google Mail lets you link a task to a specific email and add a reminder. That's helpful for reviewing your schedule. It's based on Slack, so you don't have these folders like in Microsoft mail. Using Slack instead of folders is a bit more intuitive. It's easier to find again a specific email than using Microsoft Suite. If you misplace things, it's much easier to find them because of Google's search capability.""If I'm addressing certain emails from banks — automatic emails, like OTP, etc. — I can create rules and forward that OTP to the specific email IDs. You can create rules and deliver mail to different groups using the forwarding feature. It's handy.""The most valuable part of G Suite is the integration among all of the components. It's also highly reliable because it's always available. And G Suite's ability to collaborate on all the standard office tools has no rival. It's amazing because you can work seamlessly with any of your colleagues on the same document.""Everything is synchronized across every single device you use to access G Suite. That is why we like it.""G Suite Enterprise is user-friendly, and the technical toolkits and other information are on the website. Additionally, the technical documents are comprehensive."

Cons
"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Cons →

"Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""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.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"For Google Docs, if you upload a Word document up to Google Docs, it could mess up your formatting quite a bit.""The stability should be addressed.""Google Meet can have a bit more functionality. It should show the views of more people. Right now, it shows just eight at a maximum, or six. When there are more people on the call, more than eight, everyone is not showing.""I talked with G Suite recently because my G Suite has a temporary block. I communicated with the G Suite representative or Google representative, and he told me that I sent a lot of emails, so my email was temporarily blocked. But I know I have not sent more than 500 emails daily to reach the limit. I sent only 5,200 emails, but unfortunately, my G Suite account was temporarily blocked for 24 hours, and then he resolved it. I think they need to improve G Suite because this temporary block is not fair.""Despite being an excellent platform, I would very much like Google Docs to be more compatible with Microsoft Word.""There's a bit of a learning curve.""The UI could be simplified and made more user friendly.""To a degree, the project management service could be improved."
