We performed a comparison between Kiteworks and SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The benefits that Kiteworks has provided to its customers in terms of data sovereignty."
"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."
"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."
"The solution removes the limitations with file attachment size that is found with regular email."
"The top two features are the two-factor authentication, which is pretty good. It's easily understood by the users. And their API is rather robust. We have numerous integrations that work off the API."
"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 solution can be used remotely; it's easy to upload and share files."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"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 have experienced a few hiccups and bugs when using the admin console and from a user perspective."
"File location could be improved."
"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."
"It could be more stable. In the next release, it would be better if it was more stable with improved performance."
"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 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."
"In my experience, their technical support can be a little slow."
"Make it more intuitive."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"Replication needs improvement."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"It will fully use your system resources."
