"It's a stable product.""It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product.""The initial setup is easy.""I can store data and share it with people.""There's no real implementation necessary.""I also use OneDrive, but I prefer Google Drive because it's available on many platforms and devices, so it gives a wide variety for backups, especially on Android systems.""For any file you want to collaborate on with colleagues or external people, like clients, it can be done in real-time. That's the most interesting feature.""It is very convenient and easy to access."

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 if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"Google Drive Enterprise is expensive. Google Sheets APIs need improvement.""Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups. It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface.""I want better support, and I expect quicker support for any issues.""It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added.""The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution. If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite.""Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure.""I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience.""Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."
