Salim Malik - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Citrix Specialist at Kuwait Oil Company (K.S.C.)
Reliable, user-friendly, and secure
The initial setup is straightforward. It's not complicated. I’ve done the deployment when I was in Citrix and the deployment for the current customer and therefore have experience doing this a few times. How long the deployment takes is up to the customer in terms of what type of storage zone controller you're going to operate. If you're going to operate on-premise, then you need to have the network team and the server, physical server, the load balances, and storage zone controller storage deployed. It shouldn't take, if the infrastructure is ready, more than a week. IN that time, you can set up the entire full-fledged configuration and have enrollment running if you have all the hardware and the communications ready. That's on the on-premise side. If it's on a specific cloud, even when you purchase the procurement, it won't take even a day. In 24 hours, you will be up and running easily on the ShareFile cloud if you are working with the Citrix cloud. If you're doing a private cloud, then the communication to open the ports between the ShareFile can complain to the private cloud. That might be at least a week, depending on the internal teams. If they work very fast and smoothly, it's a matter of a day. You only need one person to maintain the solution. It’s pretty low-maintenance.

The gaps in the API are filled by our own R+D and the publish mechanism is very reliable.
The API is awful. We needed to develop a batch load tool in order to send automated events to Tibber API. The current API version is not well documented, i.e. the current version of the API in the software doesn't correspond to the web-documented API. We had to imagine parameters and names. We had difficulty making it all work, as the login/SSO mechanism was not properly explained so that we could perform external logins to the API and use their features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution."
"The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically."
"It provided end users with a secure file-sharing option with which they can share big files."
"This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords."
"It's an enterprise-scalable product with security."
"This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords."
"We implement this solution at many customer sites which directly affects productivity and gives the customer a very flexible solution."
"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features."
"Typically the classical ROI is about seven months from full deployment, but there are a lot of benefits that we can't measure with this metric, like more dissemination of knowledge, fast internal expert finding, less internal emails, less waste of time, and better employee engagement."
"The gaps in the API are filled by our own R+D and the publish mechanism is very reliable."
 

Cons

"Everything they have should be integrated into one item."
"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."
"There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."
"Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."
"The user interface is not very intuitive."
"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."
"Deployment by vendor was not done right. We were looking for a HA solution but it is not configured like that."
"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices."
"More customizable features, particularly in mobile app; better preview of document and images stored in other cloud services (like Google Drive, Dropbox and so on)."
"The API is awful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features."
"You have to work hard in order to get the suitable licenses."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of five."
"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."
