ShareFile is a cloud-based file sharing and storage service built for business. The product was acquired by Citrix Systems in 2011.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/TN/vP/5TQO52I22X9V.JPEGCitrixCitrix ShareFile...Simplifying file transfer and control2018-07-09T19:29:36.791ZWe are an AS9100 company that must conform to the NIST 800-171 and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Clause 252.204-7012 due to doing business with the US Government. Citrix ShareFile is being used by our organization to securely transfer engineering data from our engineers, project managers and estimators to our vendors and customers. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information), it is required for us to safeguard the information and know where it has been and where it went.,First and foremost, it is simple to use. Within minutes of our purchase of ShareFile, we were up and running with our first user and client.
Second, there are multiple ways to use and take advantage of ShareFile. There is a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook, a desktop app as well as Sync. All options are easily implemented and simple to navigate.
Third, When thinking about simplicity and making it as seamless as possible for your end users, you can also set up ShareFile as a Drive Map that allows your users to take advantage of the Windows file system without dealing with synchronization of account content.
There are so many advantages to this product, however, I feel that the simplicity and functionality are the main advantages. Citrix ShareFile tech support is amazing and they really (if you need help) answer all question extremely fast.,In my experience with Citrix ShareFile, I have not found any significant CONs to report. Many people may have Drobox and other products...I would say that these products are not an apples-to-apples comparison. There are significantly different pricing structures between products, some of them being a little on the pricey side if you are a small business.
I have heard of a few people having issues with browser compatibility, however, I have not. We have about 20 users that are using IE11 as well as Edge w/ Windows 10 Pro and we haven't experienced any issues at all.
The only function/feature I would like to see improved is the audit reporting and logs. You have to go to each folder/individual to obtain the activity log/report and to me that is cumbersome. I would like to see a centralized audit log generation tool that categorizes the users and the folders and provides details needed.,10,POSITIVE IMPACT: Considering the process we were using prior to ShareFile (FTP and WinZip), our ROI was almost immediate. ShareFile took the complexity out of the process and gave us control and audits over our file collaboration functions.
POSITIVE IMPACT: We all know that a happy user is soo much better than an unhappy one. I have approximately 20 users at this time and they have provided nothing but POSITIVE remarks about how simple and fast it is to use.
POSITIVE IMPACT: Centralized management as an IT Manager is paramount. ShareFile is easy to manage and deploy to end users. I would say it's as close to effortless as it can possibly be.,,Veritas Backup Exec, VIPRE, Wireshark, Aerohive Wireless,Yes,Price

Third-party Reviews,I wouldn't change a thing...I am very methodical in my process of evaluating products. First, I discuss my requirements and needs to the vendors sales team. Second I request a deep dive into the product over a phone call and live demo. If I am satisfied with the outcome and comfortable with the support team, I will then be open to discus pricing.,Deployment to end users and clients
End User friendly, easy to invite new clients to transfer files to / from
End user training is a breeze with the Tutorials provided on End User Dashboard.
Integration Apps are readily available to end users and simple to install and use,Audit functions are not available from the main screen of dashboard, you must dig a bit. Other than that, I can't find anything cumbersome or difficult when utilizing Citrix ShareFile.,Yes, but I don't use it,10Joe SpradlinCitrixShareFile: Love It, but not the Price!2018-08-30T17:50:52.077ZI use it to request files like bank statements, etc. I also use it to send files and photos to clients. I am a small corp. and have only 1 employee. So it is used by the whole organization. I have also been using it for estimates, engagement letters and tax forms I need signed in conjunction with e-signature.,Sharing of documents with clients. They can easily access and view documents.
Requesting documents from clients. My clients find it easy to upload their documents.,Would like to see the price lower.
I would also like to see a clearer help section with how to's for easier use in our office.
Have indefinite storage times on all documents. I have unlimited data storage, so there shouldn't be any drop off dates on documents sent to me or to my clients in the form of requests.,8,It has allowed me to share and request files that on other apps in the past didn't quite work.
It has been much more user friendly for my clients.
It allows larger files to be sent by e-mail as an attachment link to the Citrix ShareFile,eFileCabinet and SmartVault,eFileCabinet, QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Premier, Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Acrobat DCRebecca NeilsonShareFile for Marketing Companies - Must Have!2017-12-06T20:09:46.400ZBecause we are a marketing company with multiple clients, we are constantly working with large files. These files are able to be saved on our server, but the second we leave the office the documents become inaccessible due to the server only reaching a certain distance. We use Sharefile to save the files we need when working from home or sharing within the office. The second way we use Sharefile is communicating with clients. Because most of our design files are so large, they are not able to be sent via email as an attachment. ShareFile allows us to send the files to the clients with little to no issues. The only issue that sometimes comes up with Sharefile is when the clients don't exactly understand how to use the site. But, in my experience, that is a rare situation and it usually warrants a call to them on our end to explain how to open the file.,Saving files in folders for the team in addition to an in-house server
Sending large files to clients instead of through Outlook
Having the option to hide certain team members from certain folders,Option to send just a PDF document via email through ShareFile - is this even possible?
Option to add "temporary" clients and only pay when you send them a document? Pay as you go kind of thing.,9,ShareFile has allowed us to more efficiently share large files with our clients. If we did not have this system we would have to break down files into multiple attachments, which could affect the quality of the final product, thus affecting client relationships.
ShareFile has not negatively effected our ROI by any means. Its price is fair, and we are much better off with it than without it.,Harvest, QuickBooks Online, SlackSamantha StenderShareFile works great for our nonprofit property management company!2018-01-16T18:15:29.905ZCitrix ShareFile is relatively new to us. We are using it to share files with partners and vendors outside our agency as well as to begin the process of digitizing tenant files (we're a property management company and nonprofit). Sharefile helps us to share large files with people as well as organize our existing files.,Set up templates for your folders so every folder has the same structure.
Work with project management software (such as Podio) to automate some organizational tasks.
Communicate with outside vendors and share large files with people that shouldn't be emailed due to size or confidentiality.,There's a bit of a learning curve getting Sharefile templates and user profiles set up, but once you're set up it is very user-friendly.
We haven't been clear on what "ShareConnect" is and so we haven't been using it.
The desktop app for Sharefile has less functionality than the browser version, and it caused some confusion initially. Again, we just don't use the desktop app.,9,ShareFile saves time and helps us stay organized.
ShareFile helps us keep confidential files confidential.

We have sensitive data that needs to be protected when emailed. It helps us solve issues with security as well as customer confidence in us to protect their data. It also helps insure that the right party receives the intended email and we can know when they open it.,They have a very easy integrated plug in on outlook that makes it very easy to use along with an Outlook account

It provides a more professional feel for your clients
