Considered Both Products
Progress ShareFile
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 …
Chose Progress ShareFile
The ability to learn how to access, store, share, and retrieve documents is simpler than in other applications, and that is what keeps me in the application. Even though my Microsoft 365 professional and Adobe Acrobat Pro applications, which I currently subscribe to, include …
Chose Progress ShareFile
Dropbox and others like Mega is are open to anyone and when they leave your company they take those documents with them. ShareFile give secure sharing but you keep control of your documents. ShareFile also offers other tools like Outlook plug-ins and windows mapping tools.
Chose Progress ShareFile
ShareFile is cheaper, but I think Box had more user friendly features
Chose Progress ShareFile
DocuSign did not allow me to save directly to a client folder. ShareFile will allow this, and it cut out having to move or download the file then store it in a client folder. We used that along with Dropbox. Dropbox did not allow us to seamlessly see who had access to what …
Chose Progress ShareFile
I use ShareFile because it is simple and offers easy use of esignatures - and unlimited. Docusign is getting expensive and charges often on a per "envelope" basis which doesn't work for me.
Chose Progress ShareFile
Ease of use, cost and proficiency is above and beyond what other products offer. Customer service is down to earth, and you feel like your concerns are addressed appropriately.
Chose Progress ShareFile
I chose to stick with ShareFile because of the signature certificate feature that is included with the software. The two programs are both relativley easy for me to use, but Adobe Acrobat does not have this feature included. Additionally, ShareFile can be opened in Browser and …
Chose Progress ShareFile
The ShareFile website never broke, so we switched the signature service to this platform too. Because in PandaDoc sometimes it was hard to find some signed documents from years ago, also we couldn't find an efficient way to order the signature documents for each client, but …
Chose Progress ShareFile
A lot more user friendly and less phone calls for assistance which make the purpose of smooth electronic communication a great thing. I like that it doesn't require 1 person to sign before the other person can and that we are notified separately once each person signs required …
Chose Progress ShareFile
The large file size for uploading and downloading documents was the one thing that the others just couldn't compare to.
Chose Progress ShareFile
Other platforms allow you to share information but without the security and confirmation guarantees that ShareFile offers. Although they provide fewer features, they are often less intuitive and less easy to work with. To date we do not consider trying other options, as we do …
Chose Progress ShareFile
We have one consulting engineer that uses MS Sharepoint. We find it comparable to ShareFile, but see no particular advantage to it over ShareFile. We don't really know a lot about it, or what it costs to use.
Chose Progress ShareFile
I think Dropbox is a plague to the world of cloud storage. It sucks. ShareFile doesn't suck.
Chose Progress ShareFile
For an organization that requires reliable security when sending sensitive data, ShareFile is the application to use. ShareFile has multiple features to ensure that the right information is being sent with the file so the end receiver has the pertinent information when the file …
Chose Progress ShareFile
I like ShareFile much better than Mango Practice Management. I think the navigation is much more intuitive and user-friendly.
Chose Progress ShareFile
ShareFile is better and easier to use than other products (i.e. SmartVault). I love ShareFile's ability to set up new clients easily. Their customer service is excellent as well. For any accounting firm, this is a great tool to have. Do not hesitate, you will not regret it. I …
Chose Progress ShareFile
Citrix RightSignature meets the needs of our business better than DocuSign. It also has an awesome interface that lets me keep track of pending documents and integrate with our webform on our website. Along with the e-signature features it offers best encryption. Also, customer …
Chose Progress ShareFile
DocuSign is well known and accepted and recognized in the industry overall but a subscription is needed for full usage
Chose Progress ShareFile
I haven't used any other products yet.
Chose Progress ShareFile
ShareFile is easier and does what you need. I have moved a few organizations from SharePoint to ShareFile. Just easier. You can setup different areas for different departments, setup their permissions and it is easy enough for them to do what they want in their zones. The …
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 …
SignEasy
Chose SignEasy
At the time of implementation we did not have many options other than a couple that fit our needs and language. The strong point that made us decide was the support in the sales service, which was by far the most suitable for us.
Their agents were supportive and flexible …
Chose SignEasy
The template creation is why we selected SignEasy. We had to have a backup option for completing this form and SignEasy was the only product we found that could do it and have a good UI. There may be one or two other products on the market that can but they are way too …
Chose SignEasy
I prefer the ease of use of SignEasy when I am signing items that are emailed to me
Chose SignEasy
We felt that all of these products had similar functionality. They all allowed you to send documents out and gather signatures. SignEasy was the most affordable so we went with it. We've not had any reason to reevaluate our decision.
Chose SignEasy
I don't find DocuSign as user-friendly or intuitive as SignEasy. It is also more expensive.
Chose SignEasy
Adobe does not allow you to save signatures, easily enter dates, and its form structure is clunky to work with. SignEasy is more user-friendly.

User Testimonials
Progress ShareFileSignEasy
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Improve awareness of your brand, since at least in Mexico the platform is not known and it takes time to explain to customers.
  • The ability to sign freehand from a phone or tablet.
  • Generation of more reports or customize reports in the management panel.

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.

Usability
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.

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

Support Rating
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.

The email me several times a year to check in and see that we are doing well or if we have any questions. They have also flown to us from their HQ to Dallas, TX to come tour our facility and see how we use their product first hand.

Implementation Rating
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

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.
