Citrix ShareFile Reviews

Citrix ShareFile is a secure file storing and sharing solution for a small, remote team like ours. It has the functionality and security that larger clients and companies need while still being an affordable solution. If sharing folders and files with clients in a secure manner while also securely storing internal documents is a need, this solution hits the mark.

Industry-tailored workflows: ShareFile has 10 key industries and the workflow will match that industry. For example: for accounting, the app will display options for clients to sign documents, which cuts out on them having to post or fax documents. I think it is not as good for small businesses especially if you have part-time employees as paying for their access as well can add up quickly for overall costs.

Ideal for getting large files from clients who are not technologically savvy. Perfect for sharing hundreds of documents with a single email.

Seamlessly sharing information with vendors is a high point. Citrix ShareFile is always introducing new features, including options to have electronic signatures gathered or to create workflows within a team. I do feel like the workflows are a secondary feature, but have honestly not implemented them at my firm, so can't truly speak to them.

If you work on your own or work in teams with large numbers of people or work with people in different branches or locations that need to work together on one project, Citrix ShareFile will fit perfectly into it, it will "eliminate physical distance" by reducing your expenses with travel, tickets for company employees etc.

It is well-suited for most organizations that require approvals from multiple points of contact inside (and outside) an organization, for companies who need a cloud-based solution where they can store files and collaborate amongst teams to get that file to its optimal form.

I don't think it would be well-suited for organizations that don't have an extensive approval process. There are other cloud-based file systems that can do this function for a lower price. The collaboration/approval aspect is a large component of it, so a small team that can quickly jump into a meeting to discuss something may not greatly benefit from this tool.

Great if you are not using another cloud storage solution. Very easy for end users to use without needing hand-holding.

Having a HIPAA compliant way to access the data you need to manage is critical, especially in the healthcare arena.

There is no limit as to the number of documents you can send for signature each month, unlike other document e-signing programs.

It is well suited in a scenario when files need to be shared internally and externally. The security features are relevant and easy to use. It is not well suited to use as personal storage. Downloading files is also simple.

Citrix ShareFile is great for companies that have a lot of documents and need to collaborate with multiple departments/members with ease. The ability to seamlessly exchange files among multiple devices makes it super easy when you are on the go and still need to take care of business. Workflow features make it easy to integrate into Outlook and quickly reference shared resources.

Suited for an office with at least 5 users. Pricing is based on a minimum of 5.

It works very well for sending and receiving applications, sensitive documents or Excel lists. You have the ability to monitor when someone views, downloads, or uploads files. I also like how you can put a retention policy on files so they can be purged automatically after a set time period.

You can increase productivity by automating workflows. Also, send files for legally binding e-signature right from the ShareFile account. It's a perfect business solution for sending secure files back and forward. End user simply registers via an email invite. The requirement is that you must have an active email account to register.

Citrix ShareFile is a good cloud solution with a lot of applications to access in the cloud. This is good because it allows users access however they prefer. It offers unlimited storage capabilities and is nice and affordable.

Well suited any time you have large files and if you want to access them in one place. Also, it is great if you need to share with the same person multiple times. You can see your history and old files. Its layout makes it very user-friendly. If you have small files I don't see the value in using it over of email. The only advantage is that files are all in the same place. I found it very useful with large files and data, especially if you need to send it to many people. You can send them all one link and everyone downloads it themselves from the link.

Well suited for people that need to transfer large files between people or businesses. We were using FTP & password (AES256) encrypted Zip files to transfer data, which is fine for an every now and then function but was becoming a hindrance to productivity. The communication between sender and recipient was slowing down the process of delivering and receiving the content due to providing the decryption password etc...With ShareFile, you simply set up the recipient as a client and they get a welcome email to create the account for seamless transfers.

I can't think of any reason where it wouldn't be appropriate to use ShareFile other than it may be cost prohibitive for small businesses. My company found it very affordable when compared to other larger products in the industry. One of the great aspects of ShareFile is that you can add unlimited Clients as you only have to pay for per Employee use.

I have used Citrix ShareFile for two years and it has worked well. However I have another app that I have been using on my desktop, that I just switched to in cloud version. It will allow me to do what Citirx ShareFile does, and more, for about 60% less. That is a huge savings for me.

ShareFile is absolutely needed for a company that uses large file documents. Microsoft Office will limit the size of the documents being sent, and when you work in a marketing company where design files are being sent that are frequently going to be hitting that limit, Sharefile is necessary. ShareFile is less suited for those companies that have a cloud server where documents can be accessed anywhere at anytime. Also, if you are a company that is rarely sharing large files with each other or clients, this is not really needed.

ShareFile is great for setting up files that need to be set up in the same way every time, i.e. tenant files, client files, etc. The templates make it easy for several staff members to use the system in exactly the same way. ShareFile is also great for sharing large or multiple files with vendors or outside partners. We've also used ShareFile to accept applications that require a large number of supporting documents by using the integration with Podio webforms and GlobiFlow automations.

Citrix Sharefile is helpful in sending both sensitive data and large data across email platforms. It's a way to also confirm the receipt of the file along with the correct recipient. It's helpful in any industry in which data may be sensitive and vulnerable to cyber theft. Most small businesses would qualify.

Specific scenarios where Citrix Sharefile is well suited: I would say that the best scenarios are when you have large Adobe PDF files that you can't easily email out because of file size, or annual compliance documents that is confidential. The ease of use (assuming no internal firewall) allows items to be downloaded pretty quickly.

Less Appropriate: Obviously, wet signature folks.

This is great software for firms that need to send files securely over e-mail or other means of communication. As an administrator of the software, it is easy to manage all users of the program and ensure their files are viewed and saved or printed. This is really for documents that need to be shared with high confidentiality.

When I purchased ShareFile I was told that is was specifically created with the accounting industry in mind. I don't know if that's true or not, but it certainly is a great fit for us. We have a LOT of documents and using ShareFile helps us to stay organized without having paper take over the entire office and it also gives us peace of mind that our information is safe and secure and that we're not going to lose it all of we have computer issues here in the office. The fact that our remote employees can also access everything from anywhere also makes it wonderful for any industry where people need to access files on the go.

Good for anyone who needs automatic sync, outlook integration, a client portal, website integration, and many of the other features. If not on the unlimited plan, overage charges for data can get high. We are an accounting firm, so I am not sure if it is applicable to anyone covered by HIPPA laws.
