What do you like best about OpenText Filr?

Allows for the user of an on-premise storage solution similar to DropBox / Google Drive, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Filr?

Controls for how files are synchronized via desktop clients. For example, if you have someone try and clean up their local hard drive they may delete files from Filr ( which would sync back to the server ). There should be something to alert an admin of such an event to approve before it's completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Filr:

Each new version the product keeps getting better. For a VM environment keep in mind that upgrades do require a new VM to be put in place. The storage from one VM can be moved as opposed to copied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability for laptop and work at home users to be able to access and sync their data to corporate systems for backup and retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Filr?

Filr is a goood application for sharing large amounts of data. It allows for the user to send an invite to the one receiving the document, drawing, report, etc. The one (or many team members) that are given access to the shared data then can either simply view the info, or they can comment and also contribute to the shared file site. This occurs when the inviting party chooses what level of access the invitee will have. The inviter can also choose a date at which this access ends or it can go on indefinitely for the life of the project as required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Filr?

When getting ready to send out the invite to the necessary participants, it is not very streamline. You have to go through a few extra steps to have the persons’ emails added into the proper form to send them out as an invite. The problem is that without these extra steps, it appears like you did everything correctly and sent out an invitation to Filr without the recipient ever receiving anything.

Our company is an architectural firm and the bulk of the documents that we produce are huge file, mostly drawings, construction documents. We can share these large files with clients and consultants from the start of the design process, through construction , and then through final completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Filr?

I disliked the plugins for outlook and gmail. It was very cumbersome to enable.

The plugins aren't the greatest in terms of implementation. Determine what add-ons are best for your business and that should help determine a fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
