Helps with compliance, sends notifications, and allows end-users to manage their own data
The most valuable feature is the ability to allow end-users to manage their own information and data with minimal administration. That's the best feature from my perspective. Something that I know my business partners appreciate is the notifications. It provides the ability to receive notifications. When certain activity happens within folders that they manage themselves, they can go out and take a look at the reporting associated with those notifications to confirm that. For example, I create a folder, and I invite you to the folder. As soon as you upload something to the folder, I'll receive a notification about that. That information is reportable, and I know that this feature is something that our business partners appreciate about Kiteworks.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I believe it's a little costly, but given the faith that we put into it from a security perspective to maintain the integrity of our patient information that is being transferred through this system, that's a small price to pay. So, on the surface, it might look like a lot of money, but depending on the need for security, which is where we feel it shines, it's okay price-wise."
"The license management is changing and confusing. If I could make one change to it, it would be better license management through the API."
"The price of Kiteworks is reasonable."
"The solution is very expensive because we are buying with Malaysian Ringgit and it's sold in US dollars."
"It is not really expensive. I mean, to me it's obviously expensive, but it's worth it."
"They changed it midstream. We were being charged a certain flat rate for SFTP traffic. For whatever reason, at the beginning of the year, our pricing changed, and we are now being charged more for using a feature of the product than we were when we first bought it. That has been our experience with billing. It turned out to be more expensive than when we started with it."
