"Great Tool - Lacks some features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about OpenText Filr?

I used Novell Flir while working in my university IT department. It's a good tool and setup is pretty straightforward. Our staff and students (especially CS students) used it for managing our shared file spaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Filr?

For our needs, I think the tool was a bit overkill. At $4500/user, it seems a bit ridiculous when a large majority of our users were able to meet their needs simply by mapping network drives. I don't know if this has changed, but at the time Flir was not cross-platform, which made the idea to invest in this software seem like a bad idea to me considering a large number of our users utilized Mac OS and Linux-based OSes.

It also lacks these features found in other products:

-IAAS (AWS)

-Multi-Tenancy

-Document Quick edit

-File Locking

-Outlook Integration

-Google Drive integration

-Audit Reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Filr?

It would be nice to edit the document and have it go right to the drive, but I understand it's not VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
