"Strong Security with a Learning Curve"

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.
