    Mashery is great when it comes to deployment to your own datacenter and when it comes to managing third party API's like Salesforce using Mashery Cloud version. I would be a little bit more careful when deploying it on Kubernetes as it was not designed for it. New version 5 is re-architected to run more on natively on Kubernetes, but we have not tested it yet.

    When we have a particularly large ad or job printing file that would "clog up" the email process, using ShareFile is very helpful. It's also useful for particular photographers we work with to upload a batch of photos all at once. Where it doesn't work as well for us is when trying to get clients to make use of a login to access folders. We find them reluctant to take on the learning curve. It works best for us when we just send them a clickable download link, and at most just require a tracking name and email address.

    • Secure File Storage and Sharing.
    • Workflows to get customer/affiliate responses to comments on documents.
    • I used to have the signature feature initially, but it was removed from the original plan, so I could only use it if I chose to select the higher plan price.
    • I love the upload notifications and reports on user activity.
    • The document storage versions are fantastic. I am the only user with Delete privileges, and I love that I can make those selections.
    • Integrations with Microsoft 365 - FANTASTIC - thank you.

    • The "Control Center" admin dashboard is not performant. We have a lot of configuration data in Mashery (many endpoints, many plans, many users, many keys, etc.) and the website struggles with the volume of data it has to deal with.
    • Their systems have limitations that make it more difficult for us to operate the way we would like. For example, there is a limit to the number of API Definitions we can create, as well as a limit to the number of Endpoints we can define in a Plan.
    • Their support organization leaves a lot to be desired. Responses are slow, and when they do come they are often inadequate. We have to re-phrase the question to get them to answer it differently, or we have to repeatedly follow up to ask for additional clarifying information.

    • The web console is not the most user friendly site to use to get to, and send my files.
    • We have had users that have not liked the change in workflow to get files from Progress ShareFile when they were used to just clicking on files on an email.
    • That management of the tools are not the most user friendly. There have been some improvements but keeping up with certs and setting up new users can be more work than expected.

    I rate Filestack highly because it delivers fast, reliable file handling, powerful real-time transformations, and seamless integrations that save time and enhance user experience. While pricing and the learning curve can be challenges, the overall value in scalability, automation, and performance makes it a great investment for businesses managing large volumes of media

    ShareFile is so easy to use I was able to download all of my projects files and have them set up to sync before my supervisor could even come over to explain the process to me. It is a neatly organized and intuitive software that allows even the less tech-savvy to become power users.

    Citrix was generally responsive and helpful in solving technical issues. Like any cloud based SaaS product there is a danger that it may go down. This was a rare occurrence over my three years of using the product. The more common issue we encountered was clients forgetting their login which was easily managed through a forgot password functionality.

    ShareFile is easier and does what you need. I have moved a few organizations from SharePoint to ShareFile. Just easier. You can setup different areas for different departments, setup their permissions and it is easy enough for them to do what they want in their zones. The mobile app works great as well. So you can all the features you really use from SP, but just easier to setup and use.

    • As a API Mediation layer it has helped with the troublesome port setup with internal and external clients. Meaning it made that easy to the client that they know where to go for access to an API.
    • The interactive documentation is very well put together and has reduced the time that developers have to go back and forth with each other to figure how to call the API.
