Its a great tool to share and receive the files using secured path. It has a great integration with tool named Dropbox which makes life easier for professionals.

What do you dislike about Kiteworks?

We see most of the time bugs like emails got stuck in the outbox or we see settings are disabled which results in the transaction of emails because of the large size of the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the best ways to share the large files using the secured method for transactions of important and legal documents. Its ease to collaborate with the Dropbox tool gives it a hands on other methods of secured transaction of emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps to share files of large size which we cannot send using the other mode of emails like outlook as it compresses them with some temporary cloud based location.

Also, its key benefit is that it is much more secured and reliable method to share the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
