How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Unlike many other providers, data security has been a major focus for Hightail since the service began. We have 10 years of experience in successfully protecting our users’ information from existing and new security risks.

This enterprise-class foundation does not come at the cost of the user experience. Hightail is an intuitively simple product. If you know how to send an email or organize desktop folders, you know how to use Hightail. Plus, Hightail is great for the person with whom you’re sharing files, as, unlike other services, they don’t need to be a user in order to receive them.

Hightail also adapts to how people work by integrating with popular tools like Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce and SharePoint. Rather than tying you in to a new platform, you can use Hightail without changing how you usually work.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

We can easily share massive files & directories with users either within or outside my company through Hightail. Apart from this, it has a useful feature that lets users build "spaces" to store all files and share links with anyone instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

The notable downside of Hightail is its costly pricing plan which is not affordable for small businesses like ours. Also, as file volume increases, it becomes hard to manage and access them instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail:

Hightail can be a suitable solution for anyone who needs to share and collaborate on large files and documents online frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

All in all, this feature is ideal for sending huge files when email becomes unable to manage them. This tool has made file sharing extremely simple and convenient for a remote team like ours working from home during this global pandemic situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

I appreciate how easy to use Hightail is. It allows you to send files confidentially directly to a recipient and the user interface mimicks an email format, allowing you to insert a subject and body text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

I dislike that the free version has a data cap of 1 GB. I understand that a data cap and an enticement towards a paid subscription is necessary for the company to make money and contine providing their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Hightail, I am solving the problem of needing to transfer sensitive audio files to a paid transcription service. The transcript service is the main reason why we use Hightail and we have found it to be incredibly beneficial and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

I enjoy the ease of Hightail's layout and how user-friendly the setup is! I can be out of the system for a long time and jump right back in and know what is going on with little issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

I do wish that the text I type was what the editor sees. I have heard that the spaces and enters are removed when viewed on the back end. I feel that this makes it more difficult to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are editing a large publication that would normally get scanned in. Now you can easily edit these items with type and 'circle' the area that needs to be changed. Just overly an easy-to-use system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

Hightail is idiot-proof which is ideal for a non-tech person like myself. Our admin sends me a link, I click it, the website lists all the files she has sent and with a single click I can choose to download everything. It couldn't be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

Since I have only been on the receiving end of Hightail, I cannot speak to the ease of uploading files. With that caveat, I have no criticisms of Hightail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we went to Hightail, transferring large files - which we do frequently as a law firm, was cumbersome. Other programs require maintaining a cloud account. Sometimes I simply want to receive a file, download it and be finished with the process and not keep up with what I have in the cloud. Hightail makes that easy.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

I like that I can easily and efficiently send large video, photo, and design files to anyone that I need to. Usability is very easy, it's clear where you are supposed to go because the design is simple and it is not overly complicated to use. After sending files you also receive a quick link others can click on to download the files. I like to send this along just incase the Hightail email gets stuck for any reason. I also enjoy that you can set perimeters on how long files can be downloaded and you can choose an option to see when files have been downloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

If your internet connection is slow or if you're sending a lot of large files, it will likely take a good amount of time to send it through. Obviously, this is still much faster than other solutions. It is also pretty costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

For my job, I usually need to send a lot of photos and video files off to people for review or for advertising use. These files are too large to send through email and can sometimes take up too much space in a Google Drive. Hightail allows me to send bulk items and the user on the other end can decide what they download. Everyone I work with request their large files from Hightail because of how easy it is for them to download. It has served to be a very useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

The ease and security options of using this service to share files online that are larger than email attachment limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

Larger files will require a paid subscription and upload speed may not take advantage of faster connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail:

Hightail is great for sending most files but if you have files larger than 500GB you may need a different solution such as Signiant or Aspera. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Hightail solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main usage case for having a free "lite" account is to allow sharing files up to 100MB (which can be larger than most email attachments permit) with online storage of up to 2GB. A paid account will allow files up to 500GB and unlimited storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
