Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation. Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Reliable platform that integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems
The product integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems in the telecom sector. Our partners manage services, including detailed integration and migration-related operations. The platform upholds the uptime and reliability of our business applications. We classify our systems into different tiers, ranging from machine-critical to business-critical, and FusionStorage helps us run all the services. It delivers a remarkable uptime of 99.9%. With our expectations for continuous service availability, we are operating 24/7. In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Cons

"While generally user-friendly, there is room for improvement in the user interface, especially with the introduction of new integrations and features."
"The price for storage space is a little expensive."
"I'd rate the scalability maybe a seven out of ten. Once I stop paying, it is an issue."
"They can do the scanning of viruses, and they can also do malware detection when they do the synchronization."
"Improve the ease of use. Sometimes, occasional users struggle to login again and access documents."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"The pricing could be better and/or more clear. Right now, they have a strange way of splitting pricing. It's a bit complicated and not clear for users."
"The free storage amount should be increased."
"The problem with Huawei is that it generally oversells. As a principle, Huawei does not educate the partner or the end user enough to scale up their solution correctly."
"Their cloud services could be improved."
"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a monthly subscription fee."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."
"The solution does not come with a licensing cost."
"I believe I pay around $5 per month for the license."
"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
"You pay as you go, which is a good thing. There is a monthly fee, and you can also pay annually. This flexibility makes the subscription easier and affordable for some of us. I prefer yearly pricing, which is also slightly cheaper than monthly pricing."
"Dropbox is one of the cheapest tools in the market."
"Its price is quite cheap. It is quite competitive. You just need to pay for the license. There are no additional costs."
"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."
