    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.

    For our purposes I can't particularly find any shortcomings of Veeam Backup for Azure. It has been working well for our needs for a few years now. Maybe for someone with a larger cloud footprint or more complex needs, or maybe someone who wants to be able to deploy and configure the appliance using infrastructure as code it may not be as practical.

    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.

    • Reduce storage costs and minimizing the impact on network consuption.
    • Veaam Backup for Azure provides application-aware backups for Microsoft SQL Server, ensuring that our data is backed up and available for recovery correctly.
    • Replication: Veeam Backup for Azure helps us to replicate our workloads to another Azure region or on-premises environment for disaster recovery purposes and compliance needs.

    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.

    • Documentation around service account permissions was a little sparse when we implemented it
    • It's sometimes hard to get the reason behind a (rare) job failure without going into logs
    • The UI around snapshots and backups could do with some clarity around the restore points that will be available

    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.

    It was so easy that you thought it wasn't working. Once you saw data and was able to recover it or do a restore with the product those beliefs in the system went to the roof. Once you get a product that does everything you want it to do, you will give it it's props.

    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.

    Backup Exec was a very clunky application and took forever to backup to and restore from. We would backup to SSD external hard drives from a flash array, but the process still took forever to finish. Sending our data to the Azure blob storage via Veeam is a faster and more secure process than saving to the external hard drives with Backup Exec.

    • We have had fast recovery of documents when needed; sub 10 minutes from start of restore to complete and in the users hands
    • Easily a value add for backing up files outside of the given Microsoft retention period; piece of mind
    • Easy tool to use with minimal training required to use it and set up backups
    • When you do change your cloud licensing it does require manual intervention to update backup data requirements. if the business makes changes then your backup person may not know to make these changes
