Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""The solution is scalable.""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.""It's user-friendly for end users.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""Easy to manage and fully secure."

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"It ensures all our staff are using the current version of our documents.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""For me, the biggest thing is version history. I can easily go back and view older versions.""The product's most valuable feature is storage.""Dropbox is easy to set up as it doesn't require any installation, just a download.""The performance is good.""One of the most useful features of Dropbox is its ease of use.""Dropbox allows me to organize files well.

"Provides easy access to our data.""Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily.""In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."

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

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"While I feel the price being charged to be reasonable, it should either be more cost-effective or account for an increased amount of storage space.""It would be good if they could market themselves as a safe solution for corporates. Currently, most corporates don't see it as a safe area to share within.""We are moving to Microsoft Teams. Instead of Dropbox, we will be using Microsoft Teams that has the advantage of saving the versions. It supports file versioning so that you can always go back to the previous version if you want to. If somebody has made a change in one of the files and you don't know what changes have been made, you can always go back to the previous version. This feature led us to migrate to Microsoft Teams. With Dropbox, there is no option for simultaneous work. This feature is there in Google Files. In Microsoft Teams, you can invite team members to collaborate. That is the reason why I prefer Microsoft Teams over Dropbox. It should also have more integration with other solutions.""The free storage amount should be increased.""Dropbox could improve by being more secure.""The Security and privacy of this solution need improvement.""Dropbox could introduce some sort of a notification with respect to how much storage you have left out of what is purchased.""The pricing could be better and/or more clear. Right now, they have a strange way of splitting pricing. It's a bit complicated and not clear for users."

More Dropbox Cons →

"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."

    Overview
    ShareFile is a secure file sync and sharing service that meets the mobility and collaboration needs of users and the security requirements of businesses.

    Dropbox provides cloud-based file syncing, sharing, and storage. It specializes in helping large-scale businesses stay organized and productive while protecting the integrity of sensitive information with enterprise-level security. Dropbox is a valuable solution for businesses looking to simplify communication, safeguard information, and improve collaboration. Dropbox's platform provides a user-friendly, real-time sharing and storage solution for large businesses.

    The company's enterprise-level service plan includes 256-bit AES and SSL encryption, an optional two-step verification process, and optional mobile passcodes, which provide tight security to protect sensitive information. Dropbox uniquely offers a remote wipe feature, which allows businesses to keep data safe when an employee leaves the company or a computer is lost.

    Dropbox stands out from the competition by offering businesses expanded storage, unlimited file recovery and versioning, and control over sharing permissions. Additionally, Dropbox provides businesses with team management solutions, including device and location tracking, login tracking, detailed user management options for administrators, and centralized billing. 

    Collaboration between team members is further simplified with the addition of various Dropbox apps that allow advanced functionality such as document editing, CRM, and e-signatures. Dropbox has become one of the most popular business tools, entrusted by 97 percent of all Fortune 500 companies.


    Before implementing Dropbox, global apparel merchandiser BCBGMAXAZRIA was struggling to structure communication and increase company-wide efficiency, which resulted in the need for increased staff hours and expenses. Since choosing Dropbox as its cloud-based sharing and storage solution, BCBGMAXAZRIA has been able to restructure its file sharing and collaboration streams in every department. As a result, BCBGMAXAZRIA is able to boost efficiency, reduce expenses, and protect its information throughout all 550 locations.

    Huawei FusionStorage fully distributed cloud storage features massive scale-out capability designed for cloud-based architectures. The on-board storage system software combines the local storage resources of standard x86 servers into fully distributed storage pools, providing block, object, or file storage resources to the upper layer. An enterprise can easily obtain the required flexibility and efficiency in data storage to keep up with the ever-changing dynamics of business.
