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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I 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.

Cons:

It 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.

Not totally reliable

Provides a way to send files securely easily. However, it needs to work more reliably.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

When 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.

Cons:

It 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.

Pros:

When sending outlook emails above a certain file size, this platform helped to compress the files by using a temporary cloud based location.

Cons:

There 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

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Gets the job done. File sizes can be pretty big.

Cons:

Takes 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.

Kiteworks works well in terms of functionality. The user experience needs work as sometimes I get lost while managing files. But can find by spending a little bit time.

Pros:

I 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.

Cons:

Our 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.
