## Reviews

### "Fast, Safe and Reliant Sharetool" — 5.0/5

> **Nikita** | *22 June 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We use it for all our external files that require signature.&#10;Works great for remote workers and locations.
> 
> **Cons**: The pricing could be simpler as we do not use all the features present. However, there is not much to dislike. May require some time to get used to it.

-----

### "Secure File Sharing Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Joey** | *8 August 2019* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to navigate UI. ShareFile has an add-on that integrates into standard Outlook email platform. The add-on allows you to email large files using a secure third party FTP, where sensitive documents can only be accessed by permitted parties. It's easy to set permissions if you allow the document to be shared with others. Works well for cloud sharing documents and files where collaboration is needed. You can set a time duration for files to automatically delete themselves, so that makes managing storage capacity easier.
> 
> **Cons**: No real cons that I can think of. Perhaps for some people who are not tech savvy might have trouble setting up their personal preferences, but this could apply to any software. I found it easy and intuitive to set up using the web app, mobile app, and the Outlook extension.

-----

### "CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE" — 3.0/5

> **JACQUILYN** | *2 December 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: FINE AS A PROGRAM, A FEW GLITCHES WITH ACCESSING.
> 
> **Cons**: GLITCHES WHICH LEFT THE CLIENTS UNABLE TO OPEN FILES. COMMUNICATION ISSUES.
> 
> OVERALL MY EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD UNTIL I WENT TO CANCEL (BEFORE MY ANNUAL SERVICE WAS OVER) I CANCELLED VIA EMAIL SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED.  THEN THEY ISSUED AN INVOICE FOR THE COMING YEAR AND I INFORMED THEM AGAIN I HAD CANCELLED. 3 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE A THREATENING EMAIL STATING THAT I HAD TO PAY THE INVOICE AS THEY HAD ISSUED IT\! INTERESTING AS THEY HAD ALREADY CLOSED MY ACCOUNT MONTHS AGO.

### "Very versitile and easy to figure out program" — 5.0/5

> **Greg** | *16 August 2019* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software includes a number of additional features, including secure email, and the ability to easily and affordably add more.  I have used this software now at three different companies.  Set up was easy and the help center guidance was very good.
> 
> **Cons**: Set up of folders was a little tedious and slightly cumbersome but was very easy to figure out and add/subtract people as needed.
> 
> overall experience was very good and will continue to recommend it where I work and for my clients.

### "Couldn’t be more secure" — 5.0/5

> **Mona** | *11 September 2022* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is very secure and protected with encryption, perfect for legal or financial information. Electronic signatures are completed with little effort. &#10;Citrix ShareFile has an email plugin that sends large files without so many hiccups. The emails are protected on their way. Client portal was well liked.
> 
> **Cons**: I think it’s too expensive and it needs to be made more simple to understand and use. I think it should be more adaptive so smaller businesses can get what they need without paying for and getting confused with the enterprise settings.
> 
> This experience was ok, it wasn’t our perfect fit.
