Overall Satisfaction with Citrix ShareFile

My entire organization uses ShareFile to distribute files to our clients, vendors and personnel that work remotely. Sometimes we need to move large files through the Internet and ShareFile allows us to do that with several easy options. It also has security options that were needed by our accounting department.
  • Many different options on how to share your files.
  • It alerts the sender when the files were downloaded by the receiver.
  • The Outlook plugin for the PC allows our employees to send files right from their email.
  • The Dropbox style functionality requires a password to be generated by the receiver or our client. Unfortunately, it doesn't get used because of it.
  • Administration takes a bit to understand.
  • It is a cloud based service that costs money but so does an FTP server. The less servers I maintain the less employees I need to run them so it positively impacted our ROI.
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.
ShareFile is a great choice for business that want control of what data is being shared. If you are just looking for a drop dead simple way of sharing files Dropbox may be better suited for that purpose.
