    Hightail is my go-to source when I need to send large files that would never fit as regular attachments. That being said, sometimes there are files that would perfectly fit as attachments but I want the security that Hightail provides when sending sensitive or private material. It's very comforting knowing that the content I'm sending is only being received and viewed by the intended parties. It's also comforting for my clients when it's THEIR content that I'm sending for review.

    Sometimes, there are professors and teachers that need to share with other people of the same department certain information to help them to improve their classes or just to communicate something that might be easily uploaded there than in other platforms or software. Also, it can help people of different departments to be aware of the contents that students are seeing constantly in classes.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • Some of our recipients are not very tech-savvy and can get confused with how to download a file. There is some room for improvement by making it clearer where the user should click to download the file.

    Honestly, once we started using Google Drive more efficiently and saw what improvements OpenText Hightail had made, it was hard to choose. But now that we more consistently use Google Drive, I use it probably 75% more than I use OpenText Hightail for the same tasks. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be a customer at OpenText but it's great to have both options.

    I think that there is important to understand that there are some software or platforms that more than stacking up between them, complement each other to have a great diversity of tools and instruments for creating and presenting information in different ways. In this case, ShareBase is completely different than most of these pages and that makes it a valuable tool.

    • Hightail simply saves time. We no longer struggle with trying to meet the requirements of OutLook. When we have a file that is too large to send via OutLook we just "hightail it".
