What do you like best about Kiteworks?

Kiteworks has been in business since 1999 so it is an established name for many years even when they were known as Ascellion. I had a great time experiencing Kiteworks. I liked its clean user interface, trouble-free implementation, and secured file sharing. Their customer support is pretty responsive which makes things convenient in case we require some assistance.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

Everything works fine with Kiteworks and I am not having any complaints though I would like some add-ons to make the experience even better. While securely sharing the files. I would want to communicate with the person instantly over chat. If that instant messaging is built in, it would turn the collaboration even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kiteworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kiteworks has allowed me to efficiently administer the threat in the sharing of sensitive material over several interaction channels such as email, file sharing, API’s etc which drastically improved the risk management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kiteworks?

Ease of use when it comes to the admin UI + being able to reach out to support for any questions and they respond rather quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

The unpredictablility of the system. Things that should work dont always work which end up causing more issues down the line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kiteworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kiteworks provides us a safe, secure, and easy way to send and receive data to internal and external users in a more efficient process. Since we work with a lot of third party vendors sending data back and forth with Kiteworks removes the additional work of providing them access to an internal system. The ability to give users access via just their email solves the problem of having to open our internal systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kiteworks is very easy to use. User interface is clean and modern. Kiteworks support and technical staff is very knowledgeble and very experianced with the sustem and industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

Can't think of a downside of using Kiteworks. One item to consider improving on is Project Management. We just did a migration from on-prem to hosted and it would have been nice for the Kiteworks team to have a "playbook/project plan" to share with client to better understand the work it takes. Kiteworks team is very knowledgeble and experianced in this domain, but as a client I dod not kno what to expect and how it was going to play out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives us options to customize a lot of settings to fit our governance needs, user experience is pretty straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

Almost every time I've reached out to customer / technical support, it is not a good experience and I try and avoid contacting as much as possible. I work in an internal IT department for a law firm, and 90% of my calls with support are them overexplaining processes that I already understand that have nothing to do with finding a resolution to the issue raised.

What do you like best about Kiteworks?

It is exceptionally simple to utilize and may be an exceedingly versatile arrangement for record exchange. It makes a difference in overseeing records for different ventures. I utilize this for our clients and offer assistance to them to share critical records over different areas. It makes a difference with collaboration and records can be shared with partners. It makes a difference to me to keep these overhauled all the time. When it works, it is simple to safely send records and organizers to other individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

You can't fair join a record the old-fashioned way and send it as you have got to begin a entire modern mail. There were often bugs where emails got stuck within the outbox. The failure to utilize pictures within the signature square. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kiteworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great instrument to share secure records and joining with Dropbox instrument. Gives a way to send records safely and effortlessly. Better than average stage when it comes to record sharing and e-mail compression. Not each aiming recipient's e-mail server capacity can suit gigantic connections. Incredible computer program to oversee reports and fundamentally for collaborating with other clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
