Kiteworks vs. Proton Mail vs. Virtru

Kiteworks is very good for securely sharing files external to your company and doing so without your customers knowing who each other are. The interface is simple and relatively intuitive. We have had some issues in getting timely support from Accellion this past year, but they seem to be doing better lately.

Good if you like privacy and not having your data mined for advertizing and AI training.

Of all the products out there that integrate with Google, we found Virtru to be the most user-friendly for both our users and the recipients. At the same time, its logging capabilities provide the trail we need for sensitive information. This is one tool for us that has generally been "setup and forget" which helps with the I.T. Dept workload.

Incentivized

• Encrypting our files appears to be less than 100% complete
• Software updates cannot be scheduled to take place automatically like their old product
• Detailed activity logging is not available to administrators. You must submit the logs to Accellion for analysis.

Incentivized

• Exporting email (which I like to do for archiving) is awkward and slow.
• Proton Mail Bridge (which allows access from other email readers like Outlook) sometimes has synchronization issues. Lately these just resolve themselves.

• Support for all AWS / Amazon services
• Specialized functionality for sales teams
• Easy one click integration with CRM tools

Incentivized

Mostly intuitive and easy to use. A bit harder if you stick with two passwords (one for the account and one for the encryption).

The main reason for selecting Kiteworks is that when sharing files with multiple customers, each customer has no idea who the other customers are. To do that in Teams would require users to create a private team for each customer, which would be very [time-consuming].

Proton had a wider offering of products like vpn and drive. I ended up paying for a yearly subscription, I liked it so much.

Others were far more expensive
