User Testimonials
	Azure StorSimple	WeTransfer
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	WeTransfer It is the most appropriate tool to quickly share documents with someone you don't want to give access to your company's own online library, yet you have to share files. It's great that there's no need to create a user, nor for uploading or downloading files. Just have in mind that the documents on the link have an expiration day! Incentivized PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Performance via the SSD drives. Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure. Easy to Admin via Web client interface. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	WeTransfer WeTransfer is very fast for uploading & downloading. WeTransfer allows you to see if the document was opened by the recipient & how many times. WeTransfer allows you to password protect documents. WeTransfer is extremely secure & safe to use. Incentivized Aubrey Miles Finance Administrator Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Additional fail-over functionality Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	WeTransfer The price for Pro is a bit high. A way for free users to save an address book. The offline app isn't as robust as the web client. Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	WeTransfer No answers on this topic
Usability	Microsoft No answers on this topic	WeTransfer As noted previously, sometimes it can take more than once to upload and share a file if you are using Chrome. It doesn't happen often but of course it always seems to when we are on a really tight deadline. It just takes patient in those cases Incentivized Ann M. Frank Digital Asset Management and Art Buyer Read full review
Performance	Microsoft No answers on this topic	WeTransfer WeTransfer is extremely reliable 99% of the time. There has been twice in 4 years that their service was unavailable due to server outage for several hours. Incentivized Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft No answers on this topic	WeTransfer I've only reached out to WeTransfer support once, but they were prompt, courteous, and answered my question. I assume that future interactions would be the same, I'm looking forward to being a long term customer. Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	WeTransfer Dropbox is too complex and unreliable to use. I have had many headaches with files not downloading properly, going missing or not opening. I have to spend a lot of time to figure out what I need to do. And just as you think you have everything under control, you set up a nice work environment with organized folders, you realize your storage space is up anyway! Since I've discovered WeTransfer, I never went back to Dropbox. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team Great value on year 2 Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	WeTransfer I haven't paid for this software personally, so I'm not sure, but $12/month is very reasonable if you are constantly sharing files. WeTransfer is fairly professional, so in my opinion, links sent to clients look more professional than using a link from Google Drive or Dropbox.
