Integration with DropBox keeps files Syncd
Good tool to share secure files and integrate with Dropbox tool
PROSKiteworks helps sharing files among various systems in a secure way. It has good integration with DropBox which makes our life easier. I use this for our clients and help them sharing the important files across various locations.

Not totally reliable
Provides a way to send files securely easily. However, it needs to work more reliably.
PROSWhen it works, it is easy to securely send files and folders to other people. Interface is easy to use. Can also send larger files than what Outlook typically allows.
CONSIt does not work consistently. Every now and then and for no rhyme or reason that I can see, desired files will not upload to the email. Then, you can't just attach a file the old-fashioned way and send; you have to start a whole new email.

Good for File Compression
Decent platform when it comes to file sharing and email compression.
PROSWhen sending outlook emails above a certain file size, this platform helped to compress the files by using a temporary cloud based location.
CONSThere were often bugs where emails got stuck in the outbox or settings were disabled preventing emails from going through due to large file sizes.

SLOW
Gets the job done. File sizes can be pretty big.
CONSTakes a long time to send, sometimes it absolutely will not send at all. And I have to hope the file got uploaded to the file manager, so when I try to resend at least it won't waste time uploadin g again. Not integrated with outlook contacts so always have to keep retyping, may have typos. Does not seem as forward thinking or userfriendly as some of the other file-sharing services ie Google Drive, 365, WeTransfer, Dropbox... which come wtih complementary tools to get the job done in more ways e.g. Collect app by WT and desktop integration and Paper for Dropbox.

Online, Secure, Backup: Kiteworks!
It's Online. It's Secure. It's good for backups! That's what I have been looking for before I sign up for KiteWorks. Kiteworks provides all features of a cloud based file management tool. It has good interface to play with and its quick to learn as well. Happy using it so far.
CONSCollaboration can be improved. When it comes to share the files with friends, the option exists but can be improved on how we share it.

Extra storage backup software
Kiteworks is moving in the right direction with providing the features of keeping backups online. It provides extra storage as needed to keep your files online. We have started using it for our customer shared files and it seems a good option to continue with.
CONSSingle sign-on can be added to Kiteworks. if i can use my Gmail login to sign in to this tool, that would be awesome! If they can add a free version with basic features or some limitations, it would be great and most people can start using it then.

Great file encryption tool
Accellion made it incredibly easy to share encrypted messages and files with people. There is no difficulty with doing this sort of task.
PROSI like how easy it is to send encrypted files to someone. It can be done through a web portal, or through outlook with a plugin.
CONSIt would be nice if there was a way to access your email from within the web portal for Accellion and not just emails that were sent through it.

Collaborative tool to share docs with your Business people
Our organization recently started using this software. It has been working well and collaboration seems good. We have been trying out if this tool can work alongside with our Google Apps accounts and if file sharing can be better. By now everything seems good as we expected.
CONSA chat feature would be good to collaborate with my team. A few other tools can gives ability to chat with people (With whom you share files). it would be good if Kiteworks can get that feature as well.

All About Security
Kiteworks is more about working within than sharing out and collaboration. There's a large focus on security here which is great for sharing private files... but this is difficult to deal with if you're trying to work with anyone beyond your company.. Not recommended for personal use or anyone that works collaboratively.
PROSSecurity.
CONSVery Niche with what it offers. Great for inside files, not so great with sharing beyond the inside.

Tester
PROSI love this product and the ability to connect via mobile. I was a trial tester for this version. We used Accellion as our Large File FTP, and Kiteworks was really great.
CONSOur security wouldn't allow Kiteworks. We had to keep accellion as our primary FTP even though we couldn't ever get the Java install to work.

A replacement for Dropbox?
I like Kiteworks better than Dropbox in a number of ways. Kiteworks has a great Web UI to manage the files. The files can be easily shared with others. It also has a great Web Admin tool to manage the users.
CONSNeed a good working Mobile Apps, as I use my mobile apps frequently. So it would be easy to manage pictures and docs if I get a Mobil App installed for Android.
