Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dropbox is easy to use."
"I can use the cloud version for storage and easy retrieval."
"The solution provides great performance."
"The most valuable feature of Dropbox is its user-friendliness. You can drag and drop files you want to store easily. Additionally, the speed of the solution is great if you have a fast connection."
"The security is very good."
"What I like most about Dropbox is that it's very, very easy to use. It's also easy to share files through it."
"Dropbox's most valuable features are ease of use and performance."
"The scalability is great for us."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is its performance."
"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."
"Provides easy access to our data."
"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."
"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."
 

Cons

"Dropbox could introduce some sort of a notification with respect to how much storage you have left out of what is purchased."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"It could be more secure."
"The product must be more user-friendly."
"Improve the ease of use. Sometimes, occasional users struggle to login again and access documents."
"The only thing I have had trouble with is the ability to share files. The recipients of my requests have had difficulty accessing the files."
"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."
"We are moving to Microsoft Teams. Instead of Dropbox, we will be using Microsoft Teams that has the advantage of saving the versions. It supports file versioning so that you can always go back to the previous version if you want to. If somebody has made a change in one of the files and you don't know what changes have been made, you can always go back to the previous version. This feature led us to migrate to Microsoft Teams. With Dropbox, there is no option for simultaneous work. This feature is there in Google Files. In Microsoft Teams, you can invite team members to collaborate. That is the reason why I prefer Microsoft Teams over Dropbox. It should also have more integration with other solutions."
"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users need to pay to increase the solution's capacity."
"Dropbox could be less expensive, and I pay monthly."
"We pay for the license yearly."
"While the pricing is comparable, especially for users of Microsoft Office 365, the value proposition might not be as competitive for those seeking primarily storage options."
"Dropbox is one of the cheapest tools in the market."
"The subscription could be cheaper."
"The solution does not come with a licensing cost."
"We are using the unlicensed free version of Dropbox."
"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."
"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
