Considered Both Products	Google No answer on this topic	Progress ShareFile Alvin Landicho Cloud Integration Consultant in Information Technology at Axle Cloud (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile First and foremost we are both a Citrix and Microsoft partner so we will always recommend their products. 3 years ago we found ShareFile's biggest selling point was the ease of setup, administration, and ease of use while still being an enterprise-grade product. We also enjoyed … Incentivized Helpful? christian Maxwell Project Engineer at Okland Construction (Construction, 501-1000 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile Google Drive and Dropbox have been out a long time but I think that ShareFile takes the best part of those software and then adds some. If you are looking for something more manageable that is so easy to implement company-wide, then ShareFile would be a great option. While … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress ShareFile Google Drive is easier to use and more people have this ability to use this program. Citrix works better in the business aspect and you can use it with employees. Google Drive gets into personal emailing and sharing and I only like using citrix for work. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Cromer Architectural Intern at GuernseyTingle (Architecture & Planning, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile Sharefile "plays slightly nicer" with Microsoft products than Google, though I think Google Drive has a more, and more powerful feature set. It's a very competent alternative though, and I do enjoy using it, now that I'm more comfortable with the interface. As I've said … Incentivized Helpful? Kris Salvatera, P.E. Civil Engineer in Engineering at Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. (Civil Engineering, 201-500 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile Compared to an FTP site or Google Drive, Sharefile is great because our clients do not have to register or sign in with an FTP site or Google Drive. They can simply use a link we provide and can easily download files. Microsoft Office 365 is starting to use this feature and … Incentivized Helpful? Terry Hamberg Publisher in Corporate at Northern Kittitas County Tribune (Media Production, 1-10 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile ShareFile offers more professional level services, and doesn't constantly "run out" of space, forcing you to upgrade to continue. When doing a cost comparison, the competitors may seem cheaper at first, but by the time you add on the features to make it comparable, the pricing … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress ShareFile The large file size for uploading and downloading documents was the one thing that the others just couldn't compare to. Incentivized Helpful? Mark Piskura FAA Repair Station Training Coordinator in Quality Assurance at Aerolearn, Inc. (Aviation & Aerospace, 1-10 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile All have their strengths but we've been with Citrix for so long it only makes sense we are using Sharefile. We also use Citrix GoToMeeting a lot. Incentivized Helpful? Heather Neisen Director of Account Services in Customer Service at Enliven, LLC (Food & Beverages, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile Our main determination of moving to Citrix ShareFile is the recognized security features. ShareFile was created with this in mind and went out of their way in the sales process to help us understand their features. We also work with many large healthcare organizations so this … Incentivized Helpful? Nicholas Santella Service Coordinator in Information Technology at Robert Brown Associates, Inc. (Machinery, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile ShareFile has a more native feel which is helpful for the “older” employees. The search feature in ShareFile.com is fast and searches document text along with tags and keywords. Incentivized Helpful? Mauro Carrillo Chief Information Technology Officer in Information Technology at Drummond Community Bank (Financial Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile Citrix ShareFile has the workflow capabilities and collaboration features that others don't. This made the solution more appealing to us. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress ShareFile I have only used Google Drive for personal use for uploading and downloading information and files. ShareFile is already a leader in this space (versus smartstreet). Incentivized Helpful? Tip Iuliucci Realtor in Sales at Northside Realty Inc (Real Estate, 51-200 employees) Chose Progress ShareFile I perceive ShareFile to be a more secure solution for real estate than the others. And easier to transmit documents to and from. And Citrix is based here in Raleigh, so I do enjoy supporting a local business. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress ShareFile Progress ShareFile is the option which my employer selected which I have free access to.
