    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.

    As mentioned earlier, privacy and financial transaction threats will continue to risk with the current and rapid rise in tech tools/computer software. And handling such threats is NOT a core competency for many businesses. So, a paid version of such a robust systems comes well recommended - especially for those users who often use mobile banking or pay via cellphone apps

    Cons
    Kiteworks
    • 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.

    • During run-time you would feel that systems are slow.
    • Ability to detect cyber attack and response to cyber attacks can be improved.
    • Support for advanced malware, botnets can be improved.
    • Some investigation module are provided as optional add-on, so they should be integrated.

    We deployed the trial version of Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen. The trial was applied to 3 users including one from accounts to check all angles. Considering the overall performance, as detailed in prior specifics, we found it to be a very close contended to Spybot-Search and Destroy, that we have been using since 10++ years. In fact, since the later does not have an andriod app, we are, most likely, shifting to this product after locating and evaluating 2-3 close competitors. Our experience with Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen began with its free "Trend micro housecall" around 8 years before. The minuses - 1. It does seem to be a little more resource intensive vs. Spybot search and destroy 2. The absence of cookie cleaning and associated tiered options (the kind of cookies I want to retain or delete) is one big gap

    I have only had to contact technical support once, which in itself shows what a good product this is, and I received spot-on advice from the person I contacted.

    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].

    Everything I've used and installed before and since has been easier to implement and support. TM had attractive pricing, however, that was negated by the overall experience.
