Overall Satisfaction with Progress ShareFile

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.

Pros

  • The user interface is very easy to navigate and understand. We appreciate this from our end as we set up a large number of users, but it is also helpful for those outside our company who do not use it very often. Once they log back in to retrieve a file they need, the navigation is like riding a bike.
  • The cost of Progress ShareFile is very affordable considering its impressive volume of uses and customization abilities.
  • Our external users do not access Progress ShareFile very frequently, so the biggest issue we encounter is them forgetting their email or password. It is great that we can go into their profile and reset their password ourselves and help them through every step of the process to regaining access. The process is seamless.
  • We appreciate that Progress ShareFile can be added to your company's network for easy access as well.
  • We used to waste hours sending out emails to a large number of clients and now all of that time is saved by uploading documents to Progress ShareFile.
  • We now have no concerns about securely transferring documents to the intended parties. This used to be a source of stress that has now been eliminated.
  • We also save a large amount of time being able to access Progress ShareFile from our company network. We do not need to login to the website each time we need to access a document, but instead can quickly and securely access what we need in the same place we would our own internal documents.
It is very helpful that we have a large amount of visibility into our document management process. We can select the types of notifications we want to receive based on the individual client or user. This way, if we need to confirm that a document has indeed been viewed by a client, we not only can see that in the system, but can select to be notified when that happens. It is also helpful to be able to send messages to clients directly within Progress ShareFile.
We no longer have to wonder the status of a particular workflow or go digging through a large amount of files to retrieve what we need. Because of Progress ShareFile, we can quickly identify statuses of workflows, send reminders to clients, and reassign responsibilities to coworkers because of the visibility that Progress ShareFile provides to the entire document process.

Did implementation of Progress ShareFile go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Progress ShareFile again?

Yes

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.
