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

More BlackBerry Workspaces Cons →

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

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases.""The initial setup process is not intuitive.""I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve.""Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format.""It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI.""The product must provide more automation.""The integration with Outlook could be improved.""Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
