Progress ShareFile is a secure File Sharing platform that combines client portals, document requests, workflow automation, approvals, e-signature, and governed document storage. It is designed for organizations that exchange sensitive documents with external clients and need to manage the work surrounding those documents in the same workspace.
ShareFile allows you to see and get notified who specifically opened or downloaded a file. While with other platforms I get notified that as file was opened or downloaded but does not specifically say who the person was.

We really like having a client portal that is branded to our business, don't know if any other providers offer this, but this was important for our business.

Many other systems are quite antiquated, or make a simple process very complicated. ShareFile just makes everything so easy, and I have had no complaints. The website is modern too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
