Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation. Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.
Wondwossen Abebe Kebede - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable platform that integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems
The product integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems in the telecom sector. Our partners manage services, including detailed integration and migration-related operations. The platform upholds the uptime and reliability of our business applications. We classify our systems into different tiers, ranging from machine-critical to business-critical, and FusionStorage helps us run all the services. It delivers a remarkable uptime of 99.9%. With our expectations for continuous service availability, we are operating 24/7. In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most useful features of Dropbox is its ease of use."
"File syncing is the most valuable feature. I use it every day to sync files across to the cloud."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"It offers convenience. It can connect with all devices that you own."
"Dropbox offers helpful functionalities for business purposes, such as receiving file requests from external parties like customers who don't have an account. Additionally, it includes features, such as reminders and workflow capabilities."
"The solution is easy to use, everyone can use it."
"Dropbox is a very easy-to-use site that allows me to save files to the cloud for retrieval from almost any device (laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc...)."
"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is its performance."
"It is a stable solution."
"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."
"Provides easy access to our data."
"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."
 

Cons

"The storage is not large enough."
"The pricing could be better and so could the amount of storage space. I feel like for the price, they don't offer very much storage space, especially when compared to competitors like Google."
"They can do the scanning of viruses, and they can also do malware detection when they do the synchronization."
"I would like to be able to unarchive my files online."
"While I feel the price being charged to be reasonable, it should either be more cost-effective or account for an increased amount of storage space."
"The search could be made more intuitive."
"Improve the ease of use. Sometimes, occasional users struggle to login again and access documents."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"Their cloud services could be improved."
"The problem with Huawei is that it generally oversells. As a principle, Huawei does not educate the partner or the end user enough to scale up their solution correctly."
"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."
"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the pricing is comparable, especially for users of Microsoft Office 365, the value proposition might not be as competitive for those seeking primarily storage options."
"One area that has been a big issue for me is when I tried to close my accounts, it is difficult. We had small personal accounts, and we then wanted to consolidate everything to the business account, but then to cancel and close those smaller accounts, it's a big issue. I still haven't done it and it's quite a long process."
"I am using the free solution, which provides me with 2GBs of storage, and for me, it's sufficient."
"Dropbox is one of the cheapest tools in the market."
"Dropbox offers a freemium model which is very convenient and affordable. Beyond that, the pricing is favorable."
"Its price is quite cheap. It is quite competitive. You just need to pay for the license. There are no additional costs."
"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."
"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."
"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
