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.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution.""Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""It's user-friendly for end users.""The solution is scalable.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically."

"The solution is scalable.""It's simple to use.""The solution is stable and has good performance.""The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution.""The solution operates in the background and it is attached to my Gmail account. When I download files to my phone, such as pictures, they automatically go to Google Cloud Storage.""It is flexible and simple to use.""Some of the most valuable features are how convenient and easy to use this solution is. It's very user-friendly and meets all my requirements.""Their technical support is good and very professional."

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

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage.""I would like the storage to be less expensive.""It was not easy to reach the storage because there were different network zones.""The solution only allows so much space for free.""While the solution seems to be secure, I worry that, with the cloud, there is a chance of hacking. It would be ideal if they could be more transparent about the processes they go through to keep our data secure in the cloud and on their systems.""The user experience needs to be simplified.""Google Cloud Storage could improve the integrations in a way Microsoft Azure is going about it. For Data Lake integrations, Microsoft Azure has a bunch of native pipelines available. All Google needs to do is add the same set or maybe even improve on the sets that they have. All the analytics, including the Data Lake, would then be able to sit in Google Cloud Storage.""Google Cloud Storage could be improved by increasing the drive capacity."
