Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Sharefile "plays slightly nicer" with Microsoft products than Google, though I think Google Drive has a more, and more powerful feature set. It's a very competent alternative though, and I do enjoy using it, now that I'm more comfortable with the interface. As I've said before, the Outlook plugin is really what sets it apart. I use the "Send Files" or "Request Files" about every day, and it's an invaluable resource.

ShareFile is hands down a better choice than eFileCabinet. It's much easier to use, doesn't have nearly any of the technical problems we encountered with eFileCabinet and has enabled us to get more done in less time and with less aggravation then we had with eFileCabinet. I'll never go back to anything else.

I perceive ShareFile to be a more secure solution for real estate than the others. And easier to transmit documents to and from. And Citrix is based here in Raleigh, so I do enjoy supporting a local business.

Much smoother integration with sync, outlook, and the file structure. Everything works well and without much input after initial setup. Allows for document collaboration with office products and other important integrations.We frequently had problems with OneDrive backing up information automatically, which drove us to look for something better even though we have OneDrive through our Office365 subscription.

ShareFile is cheaper than the other file sharing services, and it has better security. Having to pay additional for Active Directory integration is a serious downfall. Dropbox had poor security flaws. ShareFile iOS integration severely pales to other services, especially Dropbox, which has direct save of files to it. ShareFile desktop app is a better solution over Dropbox, allowing access to cloud-based files without having to fully synch all folders.

ShareFile provides all the functionality of ShareFile but adds the capability to send a file securely and trace who has accessed it. This is critical when asking clients to send us sensitive personal information such as their proof of income. and photo ID.

Sharefile is significantly better than other options I have tried. These other options do not offer customized branding, the level of granular permissions details, or the simplicity of use for our team and our clients.

Can't remember if we looked at anything else, once we found ShareFile we knew it was the program for us. It is easy to use and we are so happy with it. It filled all of our expectations and we are so happy that we found it. I would recommend it to anyone!!

Compared to an FTP site or Google Drive, Sharefile is great because our clients do not have to register or sign in with an FTP site or Google Drive. They can simply use a link we provide and can easily download files. Microsoft Office 365 is starting to use this feature and may be our source to use if it gets as efficient as Sharefile.

ShareFile is for Business

Sharefile gave me more control on the files my employees shared. When an employee departed I simply moved their shared files into the collective. Sharefile also cost less then Dropbox for Business and Box. Dropbox for Business was difficult to administrate.

They are all very similar but we chose Sharefile because its features were what we were looking for in a storage and transfer program. We are very heavy users and it manages to maintain and never go down with us where we have had issues in the past with Dropbox.

  • Adobe Echosign,Sertifi,DocuSign,e-SignLive
RightSignature was by far a much cheaper solution than Echosign, which would have cost 5x - 10x as much and didn't necessarily have an easy-to-use API for integration with our existing systems. Most of the other solutions I explored were unresponsive to my queries for information on pricing and technical information on how best to make use of their offerings.
