Flexible plans, stable, and scalable
I used another solution at the same time, which was far worse. The American company I worked for used a similar file-sharing solution called LeapFile, a secure file transfer service. Personally, I found Citrix ShareFile to be much better than LeapFile, which was quite clunky. I later used a solution called Egnyte, which my company used as its main file transfer solution, though I'm not sure if it's still in use. The company moved to Egnyte because it is more of an enterprise-level solution. Egnyte was expensive, but it worked. I believe Citrix ShareFile is aimed at smaller to medium-sized organizations, making it a more appropriate solution than Egnyte due to its pricing.

Easy to store information and maintan workflow but we use QlikView for reporting because built in reporting is poor.
Workflow Reorganized the workflow for purchase invoice. My customer uses version 6, I haven't seen the new one. If it hasn't yet been upgraded in the new version, I feel that the interface can be improved to be more windows like. Since 2008 We didn't have any deployment issues. While version 5…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to manage and fully secure."
"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features."
"We recommend ShareFile to any of our customers who are looking for file sharing capabilities because it's very compatible, flexible, easy to manage, with encryption and good security."
"The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products."
"This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords."
"We implement this solution at many customer sites which directly affects productivity and gives the customer a very flexible solution."
"The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically."
"The solution is scalable."
"We didn't experience any issues with the initial setup, it was easy."
 

Cons

"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."
"Some of our customers are facing issues when sending files outside their company."
"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item."
"They should integrate the solution with more email services."
"Reporting features could be better Support could be better; we don't usually need it but I have read a number of complaints from users with more complex implementations (API use, AD integration) that have had issues."
"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices."
"Deployment by vendor was not done right. We were looking for a HA solution but it is not configured like that."
"Customer Service: 5/10. The supplier is slow to answer but now it's better with a self employed consultant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to work hard in order to get the suitable licenses."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of five."
"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features."
"If you are already a Citrix customer, I recommend having the Platinum licensing level, as it provides licensing for a number of various features that all integrate together."
