Considered Both Products
Koofr
Chose Koofr
Google Drive doesn't have the option to have a landing page to drop files to - you must either make a folder available to everyone, or to an individual. This is the primary use case where I've found Koofr is significantly better.
SugarSync
Chose SugarSync
SugarSync has solid security. It uses AES 256-cycle to scramble your records extremely still and the TLS show to get them coming. I can open the actual document and I can work on it, save it, and now it’s the same on my notebook as it is in the sync in the Cloud and here on my …
Chose SugarSync
OneDrive is slightly more confusing in some ways - but a much stronger, better product that we are much happier with
Chose SugarSync
SugarSync, like all solutions, has its place in the data storage stack within a company. The main reason SugarSync is better than the other solutions is that it enables me to leave my hard drive organized and keep my existing file trees. I don't have to constantly move or copy …
Chose SugarSync
SugarSync has the capability of synchronizing various directories, while some of their most popular competitors don't. However, this differentiator is not sufficient to retain the customers in a market of hyper-competition, as they are not adjusting to decreasing pricing market …
Chose SugarSync
No particular reason. Price and functionality.
Chose SugarSync
I used SugarSync as many people recommend it. but most of the people do not recommend SugarSync anymore.

User Testimonials
KoofrSugarSync
Likelihood to Recommend
Koofr works as a kind of system for data filtering, which interconnects the company's clouds through different pages and services, which helps to be used in processes of information collection of any kind, and that is on different platforms so that accessing it is easy. Saving all kinds of information in the cloud of our preference is something simple to achieve if we use Koofr as the main backup software, since the platform allows us to run the largest possible number of backups depending on the plan. So, it is useful for the management of massive backups in several clouds. It adapts very well to the formats of mobile devices, which allows us to access our information stored in the clouds regardless of the site in which we are working, and lets us work in conjunction with file sharing platforms also from cell phones.

As with all file sharing, remote teams - the combination of being able to work alongside colleagues - or remotely (including "on a plane" / without Internet) - but always have your files saved locally makes it very easy to adopt.

Cons
  • The connection and saving capacity that we will have from Koofr depends directly on the type of plan we choose to work with, and this can make it quite difficult to upload a certain amount of large or heavy formats to several clouds at once.
  • Koofr's platform is not sufficiently adaptable to streaming services generally, and this makes it difficult to work with cloud copies of the streaming presentations we make on platforms like Twitch or YouTube, which limits our ability to view them in the future.
  • If you work with many devices, the Koofr platform usually presents problems to synchronize them all, and displays the information in the cloud depending on the connection speed of each device involved, which causes that some do not have the same accessibility to the information as others.

  • It’s a subtle but important difference in how it works because we have to manage the process a little bit more but it also means also SugarSync can possibly fit better into
  • your productivity work style, especially if you’ve got a really good system of file
  • management, stuff that you already use whereas in Dropbox, if you have a file system, management system you already use and you want to share those files, you have to move them into Dropbox which might break your system
  • SugarSync requires just a little bit more forethought.

1. Freemium model is the ideal marketing for an app like this. 2. Now their sync methods with Android are worse

Usability
Navigation using the UI is very easy and intuitive. I just wish the file-drop landing page was a bit more interactive by giving confirmation each time a file is uploaded. For example, saying "upload of <file name> successful", and giving better customisation options for the landing page so I can make it look more on-point for my brand.

SugarSync has solid security. It uses AES 256-cycle to scramble your records extremely still and the TLS show to get them coming. I can open the actual document and I can work on it, save it, and now it’s the same on my notebook as it is in the sync in the Cloud and here on my desktop. So it works very simply and effectively from that perspective. Before I finish though, I do want to show you mobile access because mobile access is increasingly important for all of these different services that we’re talking about. For SugarSync, having access to our iPhone, iPad, or our Android device is also crucial. So here we see my iPhone is up and I’m going to go into my Productivity tab here

Return on Investment
  • There have been no drawbacks when calculating the company's overall ROI. Because we have generally expanded our storage capacity with Koofr, we have been able to work better.
  • The gains with Koofr have been varied, as they depend directly on the amount of work to be stored in the cloud, which seasonally turns out to be small.

  • I've used it for 9 years, so the impact is definitely positive. It has enabled me to always feel confident that I won't lose my data.
  • At times when I have accidentally saved-over rather than saved-as, the versioning tool allows me to quickly find the old version and recover it.
  • The mobile application makes my data available to me at all times - increasing my ability to do business from anywhere.
