Efficient remote file access with robust security features and excellent support

I noticed a feature in competitors that requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for uploading and downloading files in the share folder, which adds an extra security layer. I haven't seen this implemented on FileCloud, and it would add a valuable advantage for security. Additionally, currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server. Expanding compatibility to other Linux distributions could be beneficial for users.

Optimizing time and effort through comprehensive auditing features

Netwrix Auditor doesn't have many competitors at the level in which it is placed. All other companies provide auditing solutions but not up to the feature list; it is very broad and robust. The best features include flexibility to interact directly with MS-SQL. Real-time alerts help identify potential security threats. The ability to streamline audits with insights into configuration states is helpful, as the access reviews and audit reports are really insightful. This is a good tool. The search functionality is available, but comparative to other vendors, this is a bit slower. Reports are effective; the compliance reports and all the reports are very insightful. That is good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the real-time monitoring."

"What I find the most valuable about Netwrix Auditor is the way it shows risk. The reports are very clear."

"Netwrix Auditor doesn't have many competitors at the level in which it is placed; all other companies provide auditing solutions but not up to the feature list—it is very broad and robust."

"The most valuable features of Netwrix Auditor are its affordability compared to similar products and its comprehensive monitoring of admin activities."

"Netwrix provides features that no other solution on the market does."

"I have found user behavior analysis and the ability to run risk assessments important features. Additionally, the interface and online documentation are very good."

"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature and notifications."

"It maintains audit logs for the duration of time that you wish, as long as you have the storage capacity to do so."

Cons

"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."

"An improvement would be if there was an another way to manage the logs besides email because it's not so practical."

"In the UI, we have to adjust and resize our console many times, and sometimes it appears, sometimes you have to close and open it, and sometimes it does not give a scroll bar to navigate."

"I expect usability features to become more refined over time. I'm interested to see how it evolves and continues to improve."

"There is room for improvements when it comes to the licensing."

"When there are issues I would like remediation to be in one place."

"The solution lacks self-service on password reset. It also needs to improve its scalability."

"There is room for improvement with the introduction of AI functionality."

"If you buy direct, there is a minimum of 150 licenses that must be procured. The price point and barrier of entry is a little bit higher than it would be if you purchased the solution from an authorized reseller partner, rather than buying it and managing yourself."
