OpenText Hightail Reviews

As a part of marcom we use HighTail to transfer large files that we cannot send via our current email client.

We use HighTail to share large volume graphic files globally (especially for team members in some countries that restrict access to Google Drive and Google Docs and as a team home portal for team collaboration on graphics projects. The program is scalable to our needs and we have upgraded our program twice after we have learned of its additional capabilities.

I use Hightail mainly for its large file transfer capabilities. I started using it way back when it was called YouSendIt. Today there are numerous options for this type of service, however my familiarity with Hightail and its feature set allows me to be very quick and efficient with its use. Large files transfers are important in my businesses and I love the capabilities that Hightail offers. I never really liked using ftp servers and the like. It just always seemed like a cumbersome option and I found that often something would go wrong. Hightail (or YouSendIt, back when I first started using it) was the first option that I found that made sending large files and attachments simple and intuitive.

We use Hightail to email large files both within our organization and to people outside the company. We work with many outside vendors and need to share graphics files, which are large. We also use Hightail to send training videos and similar information to our customers. We used to send a lot of information via CDs or USBs but that was inefficient and time-consuming. In addition, many of our customers no longer accept USBs because of the possibility of malware or viruses. Many different departments use the system including Marketing, Technical Support, Engineering, and Customer Service.

We generally use OpenText Hightail in order to streamline storage, delivery, organization, and data management of our video performances for our nonprofit's youth showcases. It has been primarily used by our Executive Director and Office Manager in order to have a safe place for the videos but is also used by video editors for uploading.

We use Hightail as a whole operation to transfer large files internally and to our clients.

Our company handles lots of construction drawings, and are usually huge files. Hightail helps us transfer these large files back and forth among general contractors and vendors.

Our agency often sends large files to prospects and clients that are too large to attach to emails. While we leverage Dropbox for collecting and sharing many files, Hightail is useful when we need to send over a single, large document and we need to be able to track when the email is received and when the document is downloaded. This is especially useful for proposals, statements of work, etc.
