"Robust Security with Easy Setup, But Pricey"

5/5

What do you like best about Progress ShareFile?

I really appreciate how seriously ShareFile Virtual Data Room treats security. The 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for data transfer and storage gives me confidence when sharing highly sensitive documents. Additionally, the integration with Outlook to send secure links instead of attachments enhances security by default, and I can apply security controls at send time. I also find the setup process much easier than expected for a tool designed to handle sensitive data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress ShareFile?

I feel that ShareFile's pricing can be high relative to the value provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete peace of mind, a secure repository, and a well-structured workflow!"

5/5

What do you like best about Progress ShareFile?

Everything I need is in one place: I can create secure folders with client access, send large files easily, and even sign them digitally. Honestly, it was such a relief. The platform gave me full control over access and expiration dates, so I was able to share reports with external partners during a recent audit without worrying about privacy. I felt confident right away that all my documents were being stored securely in a professional environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress ShareFile?

I feel compelled to mention that, despite its capabilities, the sheer number of options shown on a single board might make its interface feel cluttered at first. However, once you master it, you'll love how much power you have over everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress ShareFile solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a secure way to share sensitive reports with external clients. With this tool, we set up a portal for each customer that included password-protected folders, access time limits, and an audit trail that showed exactly when files were viewed. The fact that nothing leaked and everything was tracked gave me total confidence. Clients’ feedback was crystal clear: safe, simple, and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
