Overall Satisfaction with Citrix ShareFile
Citrix ShareFile is has been an incredible asset to our marketing department. We needed to find a better way to work with our remote partners without having to worry about security. Citrix offers secure file sharing and it allows numerous members and contractors to collaborate on projects without having to worry about being in the same room! The customized workflows keep us organized but for us, the biggest win is the ability to collaborate on content through the Mircosoft Outlook integration.
- Ability to collaborate on content with remote members
- Share large files securely and quickly
- Access to our library of branding assets from anywhere - even mobile!
- Some hang-ups with large files only being accessible in view-mode
- Mobile viewing can be slow as files have to download first to be viewed
- Search features good be better as you are limited to filtering options
- Increased Collaboration
- Seamless Integration with Email
- Increased productivity due to workflow enchantments
- Dropbox Business and Box
Dropbox and Box are both great file-sharing services as well but offer minimal integration features for the programs. The UI for both is simpler but the workflow features of Citrix make it a win for us as it gives us the ability to automate many things we used to manually do, such as having to copy accounting on all billing relating emails or ensuring our remote copywriter is informed of the new project we launched.
ShareFile Feature Ratings
Evaluating Citrix ShareFile and Competitors
- Product Features
- Product Usability
The features and usability were neck-in-neck for our most important factors in making the decision. As stated prior, our staff was unhappy with our current system and due to that not using it to their best ability. Citrix offers a cleaner interface which increases usability and the integration and workflow automation features make it easy for staff to collaborate on projects.
If we have to do it again, I don't think we would change anything. We took into account the needs and wants of our staff and selected a program that could meet or exceed them.
