Pros
"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""The solution is scalable.""The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution.""It's user-friendly for end users."

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"The solution is stable.""G Suite and all of Google were the first to have a built-in multifactor authentication without needing to purchase another product.""The solution offers very good email. It's a very good email provider.""The corporate email feature on Google's Gmail is fantastic.""The initial setup is very easy.""They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate.""We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services.""Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business are the perfect solutions for every business thriving online. It is very easy and inexpensive to get work done with these applications online."

More Google Workspace Pros →

"Provides easy access to our data.""In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use.

Cons
"They should integrate the solution with more email services.""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.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""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 →

"Less customizations than there used to be.""There is some redundancy in the functionality between certain modules.""When I compare with Office 365, G Suite has fewer features.""I believe Google Drive has potential for improvement. Enhancements could be made in terms of synchronization and the functionality of the Google Sheets app, particularly in areas like formulas and pivot tables, to make it more comparable to Microsoft Excel. Google Chat needs to make improvements so that we can send Excel and PDFs from the mobile app itself. I would like to see Google Bard integrated with the product.""The solution needs to be more user-friendly and improve its tools and features.""Google needs to improve its support.""They can maybe improve its graphical user interface. Google is not really known for having a PC interface. It is just a nice-to-have feature.""The synchronization is a bit of an issue."

More Google Workspace 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.

    Similar to G Suite, all Google Workspace plans provide a custom email for your business and include collaboration tools like Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and more.

    As we’ve evolved G Suite into a more integrated experience across our communication and collaboration tools, we’ve rebranded to Google Workspace to more accurately represent the product vision.

    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.
