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.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""The solution is scalable.""ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""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."

"The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution.""Though I don't see a major difference between Google Drive Enterprise and other competitors, I find that the solution is easy to use. You just need to connect to it and upload files and give access to users who need access to the files. It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features.""I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices. It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time. I also like the versioning features.""The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet is the most valuable.""I have found the most valuable feature to be the Google Drive synchronization.""It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document.""The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good.""The initial setup is easy."

Cons
"Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""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.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."

"In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult.""The conversion of Microsoft Office documents into Google documents could be improved.""Google Drive Enterprise can improve by suggesting to me I have duplicate files or some kind of duplicate feature. If it can give that kind of advice, it would be a great feature on a drive storage capability. There has to be some kind of machine learning to analyze individual data and provide recommendations.""Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required.""I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license.""If they would implement something for people who have been working on Google Drive for so many years, to have an upgraded version or to be upgraded to that capacity or storage, that would be fantastic.""Google Drive Enterprise could improve the integrations. We do not use the tool very much for our corporate desktops. Additionally, Google collects a lot of personal data from the customers which is not very good and this is one of the reasons we do not use it for our corporation.""Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups. It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface."
