Good automation and analytics, but is costly
The report model was our main concern. I believe currently the solution uses a third party for the reporting. As part of a consulting firm, one of the challenges we face is the difficulty in producing reports that meet the expectations of our clients and customers. It would be beneficial if the focus could be shifted toward improving the reporting aspect. The impact report is a crucial aspect, as we only have one opportunity to create it. Galvanize HighBond can improve by generating more impact reports post-project, and allowing access to the reports using a web version, which would greatly benefit us. The cost of the solution is expensive and needs improvement.

Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface
One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In one year we were able to accomplish what we could not in our 3 year Archer contract, and we did it with half the consulting services and one-third the administrators."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"We have far more visibility into our compliance, risks and controls over the areas we are managing versus accepting risk, and Rsam has also been extremely helpful with the annual audits we receive from our regulators."
"Since using FileCloud, I have reduced the cost in our organization by at least 70% in our storage area, which shows a 70% cost optimization."
"FileCloud is a solid, enterprise-grade solution for secure file sharing and collaboration, giving you the control of on-premises with the flexibility of cloud, which is a significant advantage."
"I decided to switch from OneDrive to FileCloud because FileCloud offers advantages over all the cloud products I have used, as it is more cost-effective, fast, and reliable, with unparalleled security compared to other alternatives, and it is very easy to use, allowing us to access our server and retrieve our files with ease."
"Since using FileCloud, we have saved approximately 40% of the time it previously took to access data because we can retrieve information at any time with an internet connection."
"Overall, FileCloud is a strong fit for what we need; it gives us better control, better user experience, and much stronger governance than the legacy approach we are replacing."
"FileCloud has given great benefits in terms of fostering a collaborative environment and sharing data while maintaining the integrity and security of the data."
"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."
"My advice for others looking into using FileCloud is that you can use it for remote storage, as it is good and better than other providers."
 

Cons

"While they don't need as much consulting to get the product implemented, I do wish they had more available."
"The cost of the solution is expensive and needs improvement."
"I would suggest that the cost could be reduced to give smaller organizations a chance to afford this tool."
"However, one area that it should improve is that the updates need to be more constant, especially to the file drive."
"The biggest area for improvement in FileCloud is the admin experience around troubleshooting and observability."
"The user interface could be more modern and intuitive, as other alternative options have a better-looking UI."
"The requirement to uninstall and reinstall after every other update is time-consuming and should be addressed."
"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."
"The price can be a little higher for smaller organizations, but for medium to large enterprises, the price is very cost-effective and affordable."
"I think FileCloud could be improved because we are using different types of databases and need database separation for different types of database providers such as MongoDB, MariaDB, and MySQL."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the cost of the solution a six out of ten."
