Progress ShareFile Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Progress ShareFile to store Closing Books after completion of an M&A transaction internally and with shared accounts with our clients. We also use ShareFile to upload and then to distribute Closing Books after completion of an M&A transaction when ZipFile distribution is too large to send in an email to specific recipients.

Likelihood to Recommend

Progress ShareFile is well-suited for distributing a large volume of documents that would not otherwise fit in an email or for secure messaging options. ShareFile is not as appropriate or user friendly to utilize as a data room for an M&A transaction because it does not have as many tools as other options.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The main use case for Progress ShareFile is secure file transfer and data sharing via email, as well as access to different data repositories.

Likelihood to Recommend

Good in filesharing and collaboration. capable of improvement in the integration of Intune

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization uses Progress ShareFile primarily for its file transfer functionality. With the ability to use Progress ShareFile via desktop, online, and Outlook plug-in, our users can choose the method of accessing the software and cloud stored documents based on their location and device and are not limited to bulk transfers from servers. Because our customers produce documents for our signature, they choose this type of software for our use in doing so. As a result, we are light users of these functions. When we do use them ,we find the software intuitive and easy to work with.

Likelihood to Recommend

Progress ShareFile's Outlook plug-in provides the easiest transfer for light file loads while the desktop verson allows more robust manipulation of files, folders and drives so file organization is easier for the sent party.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Progress ShareFile allows for transfer of data between our company and our clients in a secure manner. The system provides a portal and secure email transfer of documents. Our business does not accept documents via unencrypted email or attachments to emails and this facilitates that process.

Likelihood to Recommend

Progress ShareFile can be great when you have a need for secure repository of data, have a place for potential clients to securely upload documents, current clients to access historical documents.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ShareFile to share files with clients. We needed a simple solution to share files with our clients, and ShareFile did exactly that. It’s user friendly, simple to navigate and serves the purpose.

Likelihood to Recommend

The support we received from the team was commendable, the journey from demo, to testing, to implementation couldn’t have been smoother. Not only are we satisfied with the product but the positive response from our clients have been an added comfort to the experience we provide them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Progress ShareFile is mainly used to create anonymous download-links to files we put onto our Progress ShareFile account. But you can also create anonymous download-links with e-mail notification so you get a message 'who' has done the download.

With the Progress ShareFile "connector" (I hope I use the right terminology) we have also access to a local (on-prem) fileserver. There is also a Progress ShareFile -connector, but not used this until now....

Likelihood to Recommend

I can only give almost the maximum score to this question.... There is (of course) a license-cost. Only the SUN gives light for free.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Progress ShareFile in our organization to send documents to and receive documents from investors in our company. We would be forced to use a lot of paper sending various documents out throughout the year if we did not have Progress ShareFile, which would be wasting a lot of time and money. We also appreciate that our users can access the documents on an ongoing basis rather than only once when it is sent.

Likelihood to Recommend

Progress ShareFile is well suited when you need to deliver documents to other people securely. We use the software when we are needing to send documents out that are too sensitive to be sent through email (ex. tax returns, K-1s). If you are only using Progress ShareFile to send regular documents that do not have any sensitive information, it may not be the best tool for that situation. Progress ShareFile is also useful when you need to deliver documents to a large number of people as they can all be kept in the same database. One final scenario where Progress ShareFile is helpful is when you need to be notified when documents are uploaded to a client's folder.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use ShareFile to upload and download large files, although we have used it a bit for ad proof approval procedures. Sometimes we need to deliver large printable files which either won't send via email or are very slow and block up email programs. Having ShareFile gives us a way to send them with a quick link.

Likelihood to Recommend

When we have a particularly large ad or job printing file that would "clog up" the email process, using ShareFile is very helpful. It's also useful for particular photographers we work with to upload a batch of photos all at once. Where it doesn't work as well for us is when trying to get clients to make use of a login to access folders. We find them reluctant to take on the learning curve. It works best for us when we just send them a clickable download link, and at most just require a tracking name and email address.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use ShareFile as a Customer Document management and Customer Access portal. It also allows me to securely share large or encrypted files with others outside my organization or customer list. I love the security it provides for everything related to my business and personal needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Progress ShareFile has continued to provide the security required to be an Accountant who is an IRS E-File servicer security requirement compliant. I am a sole employee in a small business struggling with pricing increases. It is hard to pass on higher prices when my clients do not rely on file storage as much as I do. Some clients (contractors who hate to even touch a computer) have never logged in.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a fee-only investment adviser, and I send my quarterly reports to my clients via their Progress ShareFile folders. They get a complete report package, including cover letter, software-generated report, my quarterly newsletter, and usually a whitepaper or two about a possible upcoming investment I'll be making for their portfolio.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for report packages like an adviser has to give each quarter. I'd especially recommend it to fellow advisers.
