User Testimonials
	Qlik Catalog	Progress ShareFile
Likelihood to Recommend	We can connect to any source, flat flies, any JDBC, odbc connection can be made. Transformation of data is too slow. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Progress ShareFile has been a great tool for sharing files. When you send to outside people they get an easy link to click on to download the needed files. On the sender side you get options to have the person do things logon to get the file, just enter a name and email address, or just click on the link and download. There are hooks to use other tools to scan for personal information like SSN or credit card numbers. Many of our users use email to send and store emails. They have found that clicking on a link to get a file adds a bit of complexity but many have learned how to adjust to the change. Incentivized Tom Hamilton Sr. Engineer Read full review
Pros	Cost management Improve customer relations/service Improve business process outcomes Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I think that one of ShareFile's greatest strengths is its ease of use. With the outlook plug-in sharing large documents is so quick and easy. I also like the security and control that is provided for who can access the documents and tracking the changes within them. I think it does well at protecting information that leaves the company. I also think the website is well organized and easy to use. It was very easy for us to implement and train our employees on the proper use of the website and software. Incentivized christian Maxwell Project Engineer Read full review
Cons	Transformation of data is too slow Limited features available Complex data structure Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Users grow quickly (each client gets a separate account). Automated pruning would be nice. I'm not aware of integration with Office365 online (only the outlook app). This could make it harder for some users. It would be nice to have something that auto-scans emails and attachments for PII and would require Sharefile for those emails. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	It's a highly effective and secure storage system, has robust workarounds for serving the various equipment limits of our users, meets high security requirements of HIPAA standards, significantly reduces our needs for producing paper trails. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Some of the clunkiness in the user interface and the processing of documents could be made more seamless. However, once you get over that learning curve, it's straightforward enough. The API for integrating external systems is well documented, and the support crew is great at getting you over the rough spots. There's nothing bad about their system, just a few things I thought could be more elegant. Michael Sypes Programmer Analyst Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	The software has never been down when I needed to use it. Incentivized PC Pamela Corn Owner Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	Easy to use, easy to integrate with Outlook. I only gave it a 9 because I have found that sometimes it does not play nicely with Outlook and can slow it down. But, when that happens (not frequent), I restart Outlook and all is well again Incentivized Andrew Simpson Attorney/President Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Typically the support is very knowledgeable and interested in following an issue until it is fully resolved. I have not had any issues working with their staff as they are all polite and easy to communicate with. If the first or second level tech does not fix the concern then it is escalated until we get to someone who can close the case. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Good documentation for the API. With a little help from RS tech staff, any competent programmer should be able to integrate RightSignature with an existing system in a week or three. That help is easy to get as well Michael Sypes Programmer Analyst Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Automatic preparation of raw data into analytics. Our company made to decision to improve customer relations and service. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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 is as much, if not more, than what we're paying for ShareFile. The access control level is better with ShareFile, so we chose to stay with them. Terry Hamberg Publisher Read full review
Scalability	No answers on this topic	I am a one person office. I have no idea how this software would scale to a larger office. Incentivized PC Pamela Corn Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	It can occupy lot of RAM space More focus on reporting module Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	All of our clients and consulting engineers find ShareFile easy to use, thus complementing our business. Our staff also find ShareFile intuitive, accessible, and easy to use, making it an ideal, everyday indispensable desktop tool for everyone in our company. ShareFile can be linked to our firm's primary website as a placed for private use. We haven't found need for this yet, but might in the future.
