Flexible plans, stable, and scalable
I used another solution at the same time, which was far worse. The American company I worked for used a similar file-sharing solution called LeapFile, a secure file transfer service. Personally, I found Citrix ShareFile to be much better than LeapFile, which was quite clunky. I later used a solution called Egnyte, which my company used as its main file transfer solution, though I'm not sure if it's still in use. The company moved to Egnyte because it is more of an enterprise-level solution. Egnyte was expensive, but it worked. I believe Citrix ShareFile is aimed at smaller to medium-sized organizations, making it a more appropriate solution than Egnyte due to its pricing.

I would like to see improvements in the web client and the workflow engine.
I think that the biggest area for improvement is for their core component, the Java Core Server (JCS). In addition, there could be improvement in the following areas: * Saperion web client: Does not support many rich-client features and is inconsistent between thin and thick clients * The VBA macro API was very poor * No real toolset provided * No debugging options * Workflow engine * No official and supported procedure of deploying/moving a solution between stages, which was officially stated by the vendor

Cons

"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."
"Reporting features could be better Support could be better; we don't usually need it but I have read a number of complaints from users with more complex implementations (API use, AD integration) that have had issues."
"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."
"Some of our customers are facing issues when sending files outside their company."
"They should integrate the solution with more email services."

"Would like more granular folder ownership administration."
"Do not follow this path. This is a very tough platform to implement anything apart from some simple-case scenarios."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to work hard in order to get the suitable licenses."
"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features."
"If you are already a Citrix customer, I recommend having the Platinum licensing level, as it provides licensing for a number of various features that all integrate together."
