We are in the early stages of evaluating Podio. It is supremely flexible for advanced workflow management and is currently the leading contender for when we move forward.
Chose Progress ShareFile
Progress ShareFile is the option which my employer selected which I have free access to. The other platforms that I have utilized are in connection with an M&A transaction that a client or advisor has engaged for the transaction. ShareFile is simple to use for its options but …

better and easier usability, better security
Chose Progress ShareFile
The other software is for document management and signing. We prefer Progress ShareFile for its original file transfer and sharing functions.

creating those anonymous download-links is the main factor I use Progress ShareFile, besides ofcourse the sharing of "big" files with easy access to other end-users
Chose Progress ShareFile
ShareFile offers more professional level services, and doesn't constantly "run out" of space, forcing you to upgrade to continue. When doing a cost comparison, the competitors may seem cheaper at first, but by the time you add on the features to make it comparable, the pricing …
Chose Progress ShareFile
The ability to learn how to access, store, share, and retrieve documents is simpler than in other applications, and that is what keeps me in the application. Even though my Microsoft 365 professional and Adobe Acrobat Pro applications, which I currently subscribe to, include …
Chose Progress ShareFile
Dropbox and others like Mega is are open to anyone and when they leave your company they take those documents with them. ShareFile give secure sharing but you keep control of your documents. ShareFile also offers other tools like Outlook plug-ins and windows mapping tools.

ShareFile is cheaper, but I think Box had more user friendly features
Chose Progress ShareFile
DocuSign did not allow me to save directly to a client folder. ShareFile will allow this, and it cut out having to move or download the file then store it in a client folder. We used that along with Dropbox. Dropbox did not allow us to seamlessly see who had access to what …
Chose Progress ShareFile
I use ShareFile because it is simple and offers easy use of esignatures - and unlimited. Docusign is getting expensive and charges often on a per "envelope" basis which doesn't work for me.
Chose Progress ShareFile
It has been years since I compared ShareFile with other secure data storage offerings. I chose ShareFile because of its affordability and need to have scalability.
Dropbox, while it gives 2GB of free storage, seems to charge more for the same service I get with ShareFile. I …

Ease of use, cost and proficiency is above and beyond what other products offer. Customer service is down to earth, and you feel like your concerns are addressed appropriately.

I chose to stick with ShareFile because of the signature certificate feature that is included with the software. The two programs are both relativley easy for me to use, but Adobe Acrobat does not have this feature included. Additionally, ShareFile can be opened in Browser and …

The ShareFile website never broke, so we switched the signature service to this platform too. Because in PandaDoc sometimes it was hard to find some signed documents from years ago, also we couldn't find an efficient way to order the signature documents for each client, but …

A lot more user friendly and less phone calls for assistance which make the purpose of smooth electronic communication a great thing. I like that it doesn't require 1 person to sign before the other person can and that we are notified separately once each person signs required …

The large file size for uploading and downloading documents was the one thing that the others just couldn't compare to.

Other platforms allow you to share information but without the security and confirmation guarantees that ShareFile offers. Although they provide fewer features, they are often less intuitive and less easy to work with. To date we do not consider trying other options, as we do …

We have one consulting engineer that uses MS Sharepoint. We find it comparable to ShareFile, but see no particular advantage to it over ShareFile. We don't really know a lot about it, or what it costs to use.

I think Dropbox is a plague to the world of cloud storage. It sucks. ShareFile doesn't suck.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Zix Secure File Sharing (DeliverySlip) is well suited for people or companies that are constantly having to share or request sensitive information with/from customers: ACH, credit card info, financial info, etc. I think every finance department should use Zix Secure File Sharing (DeliverySlip). Also, every small business should use it because small businesses are so vulnerable to being hacked, and Zix Secure File Sharing (DeliverySlip) can protect you and your customers. However, Zix Secure File Sharing (DeliverySlip) would not be the easiest replacement to your regular email. If there were a way to integrate both, ] it would be amazing. But for now, you have to treat it as a supplemental email address.

Progress ShareFile has been a great tool for sharing files. When you send to outside people they get an easy link to click on to download the needed files. On the sender side you get options to have the person do things logon to get the file, just enter a name and email address, or just click on the link and download. There are hooks to use other tools to scan for personal information like SSN or credit card numbers. Many of our users use email to send and store emails. They have found that clicking on a link to get a file adds a bit of complexity but many have learned how to adjust to the change.

Pros
  • Easy to send to anyone with an email address
  • Ability to put a password protecting the email and documents
  • Options to block forwarding, replies, or downloading of documents

  • I think that one of ShareFile's greatest strengths is its ease of use. With the outlook plug-in sharing large documents is so quick and easy.
  • I also like the security and control that is provided for who can access the documents and tracking the changes within them. I think it does well at protecting information that leaves the company.
  • I also think the website is well organized and easy to use. It was very easy for us to implement and train our employees on the proper use of the website and software.

Cons
  • The platform could look like and behave more like an email box
  • Maybe having a way to integrate with Outlook/Microsoft email so you can email from one platform
  • The invitation email could be tailored to match the look and logo of the company

  • Users grow quickly (each client gets a separate account). Automated pruning would be nice.
  • I'm not aware of integration with Office365 online (only the outlook app). This could make it harder for some users.
  • It would be nice to have something that auto-scans emails and attachments for PII and would require Sharefile for those emails.

It's a highly effective and secure storage system, has robust workarounds for serving the various equipment limits of our users, meets high security requirements of HIPAA standards, significantly reduces our needs for producing paper trails.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Some of the clunkiness in the user interface and the processing of documents could be made more seamless. However, once you get over that learning curve, it's straightforward enough. The API for integrating external systems is well documented, and the support crew is great at getting you over the rough spots. There's nothing bad about their system, just a few things I thought could be more elegant.

Easy to use, easy to integrate with Outlook. I only gave it a 9 because I have found that sometimes it does not play nicely with Outlook and can slow it down. But, when that happens (not frequent), I restart Outlook and all is well again

Typically the support is very knowledgeable and interested in following an issue until it is fully resolved. I have not had any issues working with their staff as they are all polite and easy to communicate with. If the first or second level tech does not fix the concern then it is escalated until we get to someone who can close the case.

Good documentation for the API. With a little help from RS tech staff, any competent programmer should be able to integrate RightSignature with an existing system in a week or three. That help is easy to get as well

ShareFile offers more professional level services, and doesn't constantly "run out" of space, forcing you to upgrade to continue. When doing a cost comparison, the competitors may seem cheaper at first, but by the time you add on the features to make it comparable, the pricing is as much, if not more, than what we're paying for ShareFile. The access control level is better with ShareFile, so we chose to stay with them.
