"Superior Security for Sensitive File Sharing"
What do you like best about Kiteworks?

I like Kiteworks for its strong security features, including encryption that protects data in transit and at rest, and its granular access controls which let me manage who sees what. I appreciate the compliance tools that help meet regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. The security control is better, which was a big reason to switch from Box. The initial setup was straightforward for IT teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

I think the mobile app could be more intuitive. Also, I would like better integrations with other productivity tools and more customizable workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure File Sharing with Essential Accountability"
What do you like best about Kiteworks?

I use Kiteworks to share confidential documents with my team, and I appreciate that no accidental leaks have happened. I like the real-time tracking of file activity so much because it lets me see who opened files and when, helping ensure accountability in my team. The initial setup of Kiteworks was not really difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

The search function can be slow when there are many files. I would suggest that you make filtering options clearer and improve the search speed especially when there are many files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Security, But Pricey for Small Teams"
What do you like best about Kiteworks?

I use Kiteworks to share sensitive documents and control access across my external partners. I like the robust security controls and the ability to track document activity. The strong security and tracking give us confidence in document handling, which is essential for client trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

The price feels quite high compared to some competitors, especially for smaller teams. If the interface was more self-explanatory, we wouldn't have to rely as much on paid support, making the overall cost feel more justified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kiteworks?

I like Kiteworks' strong security features, like encryption and access controls, and its compliance-focused tools, which make sharing sensitive files safer. I appreciate how Kiteworks integrates smoothly with tools like Microsoft Office and Salesforce. Additionally, I value the audit trails for tracking file activity.

"Strong Security with a Learning Curve"
What do you like best about Kiteworks?

I like Kiteworks because it has a strong focus on security with full visibility and control, especially when sharing data outside the organization. Its biggest strength is that every file, email, or transfer is encrypted and governed, which allows organizations to control who accesses data, for how long, and under what conditions. We switched to Kiteworks to improve security, compliance, and visibility over sensitive data exchanges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

The interface feels dated and less intuitive, especially for new or non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong Security, but Slow Support with Kiteworks"
What do you like best about Kiteworks?

I use Kiteworks to securely share files, especially those that are too large or too sensitive for regular email systems. What I like most is the strong security features, which provide peace of mind when sharing confidential information. The core setup of Kiteworks was easy for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

The biggest issue is slow customer support. When technical problems or questions come up, responses can take a long time, which delays workflow. Also, linking it with other business tools took more time and technical effort than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

Kiteworks licensing is somewhat complicated and requires multiple skus for a single request, so it's easy to miss required components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
