Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Nasuni, Google and others in Cloud Storage."One of the most valuable features of the solution is its ease of use."
"Easy to use object storage solution that's scalable and stable. Its technical support team is customer-friendly."
"Google Cloud Storage includes Docs, calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Meet."
"The most valuable feature is the cryptographic technology."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Google Cloud Storage are flexibility and sustainability."
"There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use."
"I find the accessibility from various devices to be the most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage. I also like that it is integrated with Gmail and Google Groups."
"We can see when people are sending things. We can definitely see who is sending to whom. From the administrative logs, we can see who is sending to an outside entity, and those logs are retained for quite a while."
"We could see whether the customer with whom we shared a file had downloaded it, which was not available with GitHub."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to allow end-users to manage their own information and data with minimal administration. That's the best feature from my perspective."
"The best part of this solution is that we can generate multiple reports about how the data is transferred and about user information or IP."
"I like Kiteworks or Accellion because it's continuously upgraded. I also know that it probably works with a lot of clients."
"The benefits that Kiteworks has provided to its customers in terms of data sovereignty."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to send a large file of 30 GB in size and more. In Outlook and other email applications, you cannot send files that are larger than 20 MB. But with Kiteworks, 30 GB is transferable by default and, with the proper approval, a file of up to 100 GB can be sent. It makes file transfer very easy and smooth."
"The most valuable aspect of Kiteworks is undoubtedly the private content network. This feature is particularly beneficial for us. Furthermore, it serves as a centralized platform that enables us to track and manage our information exchange."
"I would like the storage to be less expensive."
"The solution could always be more user-friendly."
"The solution should have two factor authentication."
"Its security should be better from the data security point of view. It should be more secure, and it should get tightly integrated with products such as Google Docs and Google Sheets. Microsoft covers different kinds of tools such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel."
"I don't find the solution very user-friendly."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by increasing the storage from 15 GB. If I want to have more storage I need to pay extra money."
"The storage could be improved to manage it a bit better. Google Cloud Storage could be more secure, but the security features are okay."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"It could be more stable. In the next release, it would be better if it was more stable with improved performance."
"We have experienced a few hiccups and bugs when using the admin console and from a user perspective."
"Kiteworks could benefit from enhancing the proposal knowledge base section, specifically regarding the type of work involved. Currently, the knowledge base seems insufficiently dedicated to this topic, making it challenging for new users to access the relevant administrative law. Improving the visual aids and providing clearer explanations could alleviate this issue."
"I would like to see immediate releases of fixes because now it takes at least a week. If that time span can be reduced to one day or two days, that would be very helpful for users so that things are sorted and transactions work smoothly."
"In my experience, their technical support can be a little slow."
"It would be nice if Kiteworks could provide a free version of the platform so that it could be used for a certain number of file transfers. We could be charged a fee if we exceeded the number of allotted file transfers."
"There are always issues when there are bugs or upgrades. The challenge with upgrading is getting more storage from the customer. Every time we have a new version, it requires additional storage. This means that the customer would need to procure more storage for their server, which they don't like because it means additional cost to them. So, I think my request would be that the version upgrades don't require any significant storage requirement."
"There is no offboarding process for end-users in Kiteworks. It's a manual process. There is no automated syncing with LDAP and checking to see if the account is still active. It's a manual process to get people out of here, which isn't the best way."
