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

"We use Google Sheets extensively for things like sharing plans, data, test reports, and more.""There are several online forums and a lot of support materials online.""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.""It's secure. It offers data security and user privacy. I use it for personal purposes. The interface is okay, and it's easy to use.""Reduces IT spend, freeing up cash for other areas: sales, marketing, recruitment, etc.""It is a stable platform. It is very easy to use, and most importantly, it is very easy to administer. It also gets up and running quite easily.""The solution is easy to use, and you don't need a lot of knowledge for it.""Google Workspace is an excellent tool for communicating with people, which allows users to collaborate and edit files simultaneously."

More Google Workspace Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point. Invoicing is simple. It is one price that includes both licensing and retention requirements, which is rare in today's market. That, I believe, is a significant differentiation for them."

More Keepit Pros →

Cons
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""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.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"The user interface, especially on Google Drive, could be better.""If your storage requirements in day-to-day work are large, then it will incur an additional cost since free storage is limited.""The solution could always be more secure, although that doesn't affect me so much.""G-Suite is excellent for what we're trying to do, but it could use some extra features. For example, it would be helpful if we had a seamless way to convert Excel macros to Google Sheets.""Some people complain that Google Mail is inflexible. It was advanced 10 years ago, but other solutions are cleaner and clearer.""Scalability is not as good as we would like.""The problem with the presentation is that if you upload a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and you convert it to Google presentation, the slides or pictures, their images are not editable. You can't edit the slides that you brought in. They're just images.""Google Workspace needs to be more flexible, like Microsoft Excel."

More Google Workspace Cons →

"They definitely need to improve their reporting."

  • "I give the cost of the solution a five out of five."
  • More Citrix ShareFile Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "G Suite and Microsoft Office 365 offer products with similar functionality at several different price points. Zoho offer a more extensive range of products and attempts to provide all the applications required to run most small and medium-sized businesses."
  • "Careful consideration should be given to the different licensing options and provisions should be made for additional applications that may be required for your particular business."
  • "Traffic management tools may be required for larger setups and should be included in any pricing calculations."
  • "There are several areas where a G Suite implementation can reduce costs: lower license fees than some competing products, reduced hardware, and IT support costs."
  • "There are benefits that can provide a competitive advantage, e.g., improved productivity (with appropriate training), increased collaboration (with correct use of tools), flexible working - work from home or remote locations, easy to scale - fast onboarding of new employees, and ability to add and remove licenses, as required."
  • "We receive value for the price that we pay."
  • "The pricing is a bit on the higher side than normal. For a basic Google account it costs $100, but Enterprise is %150."
  • "The price per client within the business is too high."
  • More Google Workspace Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I believe the MSRP is around $5 or $6 USD per person, per month, and per seat."

    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.

    Keepit is a comprehensive data protection and backup solution that ensures the safety and security of your valuable business data. With its user-friendly interface and advanced features, Keepit offers a seamless and efficient way to protect your critical files and applications.

    One of the key features of Keepit is its automatic and continuous backup capability. It constantly monitors your data and automatically backs it up in real-time, ensuring that no important information is lost. This eliminates the need for manual backups and provides peace of mind knowing that your data is always protected.

    Keepit also offers unlimited storage capacity, allowing you to store as much data as you need without worrying about running out of space. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with large amounts of data or those that are rapidly growing.

    Another notable feature of Keepit is its advanced search and restore functionality. With just a few clicks, you can easily search for specific files or folders and restore them to their original location or a different location of your choice. This saves valuable time and effort in recovering lost or deleted data.

    Furthermore, Keepit provides robust security measures to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data. It uses state-of-the-art encryption technology to protect your files during transmission and storage, making it virtually impossible for unauthorized individuals to access your data.

    In addition to its data protection features, Keepit also offers seamless integration with popular cloud storage platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce.
