What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

This program is very user friendly and makes sending a file that is needed just for the day quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sending larger files that don't send via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Unlike many other providers, data security has been a major focus for Hightail since the service began. We have 10 years of experience in successfully protecting our users’ information from existing and new security risks.

This enterprise-class foundation does not come at the cost of the user experience. Hightail is an intuitively simple product. If you know how to send an email or organize desktop folders, you know how to use Hightail. Plus, Hightail is great for the person with whom you’re sharing files, as, unlike other services, they don’t need to be a user in order to receive them.

Hightail also adapts to how people work by integrating with popular tools like Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce and SharePoint. Rather than tying you in to a new platform, you can use Hightail without changing how you usually work.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

As someone always looking for new forms of collaboration software, I was delighted to find Hightail. As expected, the tool has allowed us to form large, global workgroups and more negligible, specialized subgroups. In terms of aesthetics and organization, the interface is impressive. We manage all types of invoices and send them immediately to other organizations. We are delighted to have mastered coordinating secure and efficient warehousing across operations.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

Since using it, I have found that there are functions that are unused and go unused, and I wish the program could be much better automated on some things that are used daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Hightail, I have come to appreciate the potential of teamwork in even the most essential aspects of business operations, such as marketing, sales, web development, etc. There is no doubt that Hightail is an excellent tool for encouraging individual initiative within the company. This program has dramatically helped us because it has provided intriguing functionality in each systematic cooperation recommendation. You will have access to an excellent and practical platform that facilitates effective internal and external cooperation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the site can be glitchy so we have to use other platforms to share files or content with our teams. Limited number of member accounts also makes it a bit difficult for many people to login at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

I've been running a transcription business since 2006. I like to do this with little to no overhead. Hightail allows me to store and transfer large video and audio files for a very small monthly fees. I use it to allow clients to send large files to me and I also use it to schedule out files to transcriptionists. I love the spaces feature. This allows me to keep everything organized and comes in handy for invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

There really isn't anything I dislike. For a while, the phone app (on Android) didn't seem to be working well and that was a real bummer, but I have since then been able to get it to work, so I really have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I mentioned above, when I couldn't get it to work on my smartphone, that was a mild problem, but usually I use my laptop for most of my file storage and scheduling, so it wasn't a huge deal. I think just having the ability to send and store large audio and video files is the biggest plus here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

Super simple to use, easy to track when files are delivered/downloaded. I use the express model, and if I need to see more info on sent items, I can go online and dig a bit deeper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

I wish the express version had better tracking info, but it's far from a deal-breaker. The product is great for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail:

Great for sending large files/folders, with the ability to see if/when recipient got them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been sending a lot of items via CD/DVD to clients for 15+ years, now we are sending a lot of them via this method. This option gets them in their hands faster, in a format that can't be 'lost' and can be replaced instantly, with no additional shipping costs. It also gives them instant digital archive, rather than downloading from a CD, then inevitably losing the CD. The ease of use is helping clients become more open to receiving their files in this method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
