Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Koofr for data storage backups in the secure vault, but primarily I use the file drop landing page for clients to securely send various files to my business rather than sending me documents, or other files with sensitive data, via email. Given the link is unchanging, all I need to do is send a single link for all clients to upload the files they're sending me.

Pros

  • File drop landing page
  • Secure vault storage
  • General cloud-based storage

Cons

  • The file-drop landing page only shows a banner saying the files that have been uploaded are complete. There's no subsequent pop-up or something to confirm if the person uploads additional files, making it confusing to know if the files have been uploaded

Return on Investment

  • Improved time efficiency by not needing to follow up clients for files

Koofr basically serves to create a network of interconnected clouds

Pros

  • When using Koofr we generally evaluate the analytics of each cloud we decide to work with to store data, and based on this, we can choose whether to use it or not depending on its level of security and information encryption - since we want to access the data easily, but without having problems with intrusions.
  • The platform allows us to make comparisons between the quality of one service and another so that we can know which clouds are the most convenient to work with, and depending on the results, these are interconnected to our other clouds in a short time.
  • The scope achieved through Koofr is very extensive: we can schedule backups in the cloud well in advance, so it is completely unnecessary to carry out such copies without the need to run the operations manually.
  • In terms of adaptability capabilities to office software, Koofr is perhaps the best structured service to store in the cloud the documentation work that is managed through platforms such as Microsoft Word, which requires higher levels of complexity in terms of document configuration.
  • The plans that Koofr offers can be configured depending directly on the level of space required, so prices vary in relation to the amount of information that needs to be sent to the cloud, leaving aside the fixed monthly payments for a predetermined amount of space.

Cons

  • The connection and saving capacity that we will have from Koofr depends directly on the type of plan we choose to work with, and this can make it quite difficult to upload a certain amount of large or heavy formats to several clouds at once.
  • Koofr's platform is not sufficiently adaptable to streaming services generally, and this makes it difficult to work with cloud copies of the streaming presentations we make on platforms like Twitch or YouTube, which limits our ability to view them in the future.
  • If you work with many devices, the Koofr platform usually presents problems to synchronize them all, and displays the information in the cloud depending on the connection speed of each device involved, which causes that some do not have the same accessibility to the information as others.

Return on Investment

  • There have been no drawbacks when calculating the company's overall ROI. Because we have generally expanded our storage capacity with Koofr, we have been able to work better.
  • The gains with Koofr have been varied, as they depend directly on the amount of work to be stored in the cloud, which seasonally turns out to be small.
