Streamlined global file sharing with user-friendly interface and self-service capabilities

I'm not a network expert, however, there must be some room for improvement. Perhaps there could be a notification to users about their bandwidth or network packet loss. If users receive such notifications, they can understand any disruptions are due to issues with their network or bandwidth rather than the site or Kiteworks. Additionally, I work from offshore India, and I told my client manager to communicate with the Kiteworks forum salesman regarding one feature. I noticed the Kiteworks login UI is very basic, lacking customization. Allowing more HTML tags to add hyperlinks or user-friendly information on the home page would be very useful.

Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors

The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefits that Kiteworks has provided to its customers in terms of data sovereignty."

"Kiteworks is easy to manage and maintain with a user-friendly interface and I recommend it to anyone that requires a file-sharing system that supports SFTP."

"The most useful feature of this solution is to share files with external parties and we can use this functionality to share files internally too."

"We could see whether the customer with whom we shared a file had downloaded it, which was not available with GitHub."

"I can identify from which region our users are uploading or downloading files."

"It’s a great product that you should seriously consider and take the first step by training."

"The solution removes the limitations with file attachment size that is found with regular email."

"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."

More Kiteworks pros

"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."

"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."

Cons

"The one feature, which I have also requested directly to Kiteworks, is to have a scheduled upgrade function. Currently, one of my engineers logs in after hours for the upgrade. We're a hospital, and we're 24/7, but the primary users are seven to five. So, we log in the early evening just to push a button to tell it to do the update. It would be nice if that could be very easily scheduled."

"File location could be improved."

"We have experienced some issues with stability due to bugs."

"It could be more stable. In the next release, it would be better if it was more stable with improved performance."

"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."

"We mainly had stability issues with kiteworks, where we were pushing the limits of its capability."

"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."

"There is one particular thing that is a nuisance."

More Kiteworks cons

"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it's a little costly, but given the faith that we put into it from a security perspective to maintain the integrity of our patient information that is being transferred through this system, that's a small price to pay. So, on the surface, it might look like a lot of money, but depending on the need for security, which is where we feel it shines, it's okay price-wise."

"The solution is very expensive because we are buying with Malaysian Ringgit and it's sold in US dollars."

"The license management is changing and confusing. If I could make one change to it, it would be better license management through the API."

"They changed it midstream. We were being charged a certain flat rate for SFTP traffic. For whatever reason, at the beginning of the year, our pricing changed, and we are now being charged more for using a feature of the product than we were when we first bought it. That has been our experience with billing. It turned out to be more expensive than when we started with it."

"The price of Kiteworks is reasonable."

"It is not really expensive. I mean, to me it's obviously expensive, but it's worth it."
