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.
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 …
Chose Progress ShareFile
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.
Chose Progress ShareFile
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
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.
Chose Progress ShareFile
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 …
Chose Progress ShareFile
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 …
Chose Progress ShareFile
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 …
Chose Progress ShareFile
The large file size for uploading and downloading documents was the one thing that the others just couldn't compare to.
Chose Progress ShareFile
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 …
Chose Progress ShareFile
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.
Chose Progress ShareFile
I think Dropbox is a plague to the world of cloud storage. It sucks. ShareFile doesn't suck.

For an organization that requires reliable security when sending sensitive data, ShareFile is the application to use. ShareFile has multiple features to ensure that the right information is being sent with the file so the end receiver has the pertinent information when the file …

I like ShareFile much better than Mango Practice Management. I think the navigation is much more intuitive and user-friendly.
Chose Progress ShareFile
ShareFile is better and easier to use than other products (i.e. SmartVault). I love ShareFile's ability to set up new clients easily. Their customer service is excellent as well. For any accounting firm, this is a great tool to have. Do not hesitate, you will not regret it. I …

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.

Pros
Progress ShareFile
  • 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.

Cons
Progress ShareFile
  • 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

  • All of our clients and consulting engineers find ShareFile easy to use, thus complementing our business.
  • Our staff also find ShareFile intuitive, accessible, and easy to use, making it an ideal, everyday indispensable desktop tool for everyone in our company.
