Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation. Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Reliable platform that integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems
The product integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems in the telecom sector. Our partners manage services, including detailed integration and migration-related operations. The platform upholds the uptime and reliability of our business applications. We classify our systems into different tiers, ranging from machine-critical to business-critical, and FusionStorage helps us run all the services. It delivers a remarkable uptime of 99.9%. With our expectations for continuous service availability, we are operating 24/7. In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Reliability is the most valuable feature."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Dropbox is easy to set up as it doesn't require any installation, just a download."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The search functionality and the ability to preview images are quite good."
"It is definitely stable. The main advantage of Dropbox is that you can see the files, and you can easily share them with all the team members. They can be accessed by whoever you give access to, and it is all secure. Dropbox is a seamless product. It provides you the privacy that you're looking for. Privacy is a major factor for my company, and Dropbox provides you that."
"It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features."
"It's very easy to use and quite accessible for everybody."
"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is its performance."
"Provides easy access to our data."
"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."
"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."
 

Cons

"They can maybe provide a bit more free space. By default, they give you 2 Gigabytes. The storage space could be a bit more."
"I find it a little hard to organize my Dropbox folders on my mobile device."
"The solution could be a bit less expensive."
"Dropbox could make the installation and the log of what has changed in a file easier. Showing logs could be more accessible."
"The mobile aspect of the solution needs improvement. For instance, if I want to use a file from Dropbox on my phone, I sometimes struggle to download images off of Dropbox. The solution lacks accessibility on different devices."
"They can provide more storage. Data is something that everybody is after. Any organization that has the requirement of data for any type of analysis will definitely need increased storage."
"The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Their cloud services could be improved."
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."
"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"The problem with Huawei is that it generally oversells. As a principle, Huawei does not educate the partner or the end user enough to scale up their solution correctly."
"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Given the price and limitations, there are more competitive options available."
"The solution is paid for annually."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."
"The solution is expensive."
"It has some free features, but for some of the features, you need to pay. If you need more storage, then you need to pay. Its licensing probably is on a monthly basis."
"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."
"You pay as you go, which is a good thing. There is a monthly fee, and you can also pay annually. This flexibility makes the subscription easier and affordable for some of us. I prefer yearly pricing, which is also slightly cheaper than monthly pricing."
"The solution is purchased on a subscription basis, and there are purchasing options. If you purchase annually there is a discount."
"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."
