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

"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription.""It is well integrated with other Microsoft products.""The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members.""The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file.""The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful.""Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."

Cons
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""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.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""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 →

"The technical support is really very bad.""The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why.""I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking.""Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns.""Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support.""Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive.""The initial setup is not easy.""The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
