The ease of use (fairly). Drag and drop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail? It is awfully bland for a paid ftp service...

AE Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/12/2018 "Hightail not what it used to be." 2.5/5 What do you like best about OpenText Hightail? Hightail is an excellent tool to send large files. Typically you want lots of details about the file like who opened it and when and the tools would allow you to know this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail? Unfortunately, at this point Hightail makes everyone set up a Hightail account. In some cases this is fine (Team Collaboration) but in others you just want to send a large file to someone and the chances of any further contact negligible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail: Some times you just need to send large files! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you? Sending large files. Working on items that have lots of working files. Benefits are knowing who and when the files are being opened and received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy using the Hightail platform to send large files to clients and for clients to send large files to my firm. Art files for printing can be extremely large in size making email incompatible for sending. I can upload to Hightail and send in very short time to a client and they will get an email with a link to download. One of the benefits is the client can just download with out having to populate a form with all sorts of personal information. Additionally when I send a file I can immediately get a copy of the download link and email that to others or to the recipient explaining what has been uploaded. Another benefit is that I can email my client a link to upload files to me taking the place of having to maintain my own ftp site. The Hightail platform is USER FRIENDLY for both my staff and my clients staff. I have been using it for years and still see it as a WIN-WIN software program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail? I cannot stand that you are not able to create paragraphs in messages that go along with what you're sending. I also slightly prefer the functionality of the old Hightail Express app to the Hightail Spaces app. Another bummer is that when someone comments on a video for feedback (when there are multiple video files in an upload) that you do not keep them all together. It sends a separate email for each one and is enormously time consuming to sift through volume projects if feedback is used in the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail: Absolutely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you? I transfer a lot of data per month, and need that data to be very secure. I can't justify the cost of something like Aspera in my small business, and after trying many other transfer services during a time when Hightail was going through some major growing pains realized that this is the best transfer service for what I'm trying to accomplish. There are still things that could be improved, but overall it's an excellent product and one I have recommended to clients many times over the nearly 9 years I've used the service.

The user interface is simple and easy to use. It is clearly stated when your files are uploaded and I like how you can drag and drop files. Email delivery notifications are great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail? It would be good if there was a clear indicator on how much space you had left when uploading each file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail: It's more flexible than Dropbox (in my opinion) as the end user just gets a Hightail email link directly to the download and clearly states your business email address/where it came from. File sizes are also larger than comparable file sharing sites, so much better for projects with large file sizes. Definitely worth trying as you can sign up for a free account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you? My business e-mail is restrictive on file sizes when sharing large files on certain projects so Hightail is a good alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sócio / Designer Gráfico Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/16/2018 "Essential software on a daily basis" 5/5 What do you like best about OpenText Hightail? It is an indispensable tool for workflow. The charging is very agile and practical. It does not use my email quota and makes it easy for me to receive files that are heavy by the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail? The only negative factor is that you can not close the window during upload. It is common among other sites that offer this type of service. If you make a mistake and close the window, you must start again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail: I recommend using HighTail. I find it essential software on a daily basis for sending heavy files for clients and suppliers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you? Communication with the customer and agility in the workflow.

Hightail is, hands down, the easiest way to send files. It is literally mom-proof -- I once had my computer-challenged mother hightail a PDF to me and she figured it out without any help from me. The interface is clean and appealing, and there are a shockingly low number of clicks to get the file out the door. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail? There really is nothing I dislike about Hightail. The pricing is fair and the free plan does the job well enough for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail: You really can't go wrong. There are only a handful of tolerable file sharing platforms around -- this is one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you? I work in a group that shares A LOT of files -- from video files to glossy decks, we rip through data quotas in no time flat. Hightail makes it extremely easy for us to share sales materials both internally and externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
