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?

What stands out about Hightail is the manageability of this software because of its simple interface design. It is really easy to manage each function of this program. Its interface is simple and makes the learning curve not very steep. Hightail allows you to manage all the files from one place, helping to summarize many functions that other softwares are necessary to achieve the same. Each update in Hightail has significantly improved the program. It is compatible with any device with Android system. It can be downloaded from the Play Store. Hightail is an excellent work tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

I haven't had many problems with Hightail since I use it. Until now the experience has been very good with this application. I would like your interface to look better graphically speaking. It seems to me that it is very simple and does not attract attention. They should add more colors and shapes that make it a bit attractive. Working with a program whose appearance is pleasant motivates the user much more to sit in front of the computer to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail:

This tool can be very useful for those users who tend to exchange large files with other users. Services such as Hotmail or Gmail do not allow large files to be sent via email. Hightail if allowed and can send such information in various formats. The time has come for you to try this excellent service that has undoubtedly become an excellent alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hightail has become one of the most used work tools for us. It really makes our job easier when transferring large files and managing information from the application. We adapt quickly to this software from the first moment we started using it. It has allowed us to work both from the office and from the palm of our hand because we can work from mobile devices. Hightail has been a great solution for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

What I like most about Hightail, in addition to the great security and reliability it offers, is the interface of this application. It is intuitive, easy to handle. Since we first contacted Hightail, everything is very simple. Managing files is simple. The program is compatible with a variety of phones and mobile devices which undoubtedly becomes a great advantage. The updates have given Hightail more strength. The price is competitive when compared to other similar applications. The transfer allows large files. In general, the program is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

The appearance of the interface is not pleasant. I would say it's boring. Customer service is not quick in their responses. Sometimes we need immediacy and unfortunately when we have contacted the technical support friends they have responded to us several days later. It would be positive to improve these aspects in order to have the most satisfied users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail:

This program can be very useful for those people

They need a service to transfer large files at a relatively low price. It is easy to register. In addition, it is economical. At first you can sign up for the free version to try out your free version. It is really worth trying this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hightail is a very powerful work tool that has given us a lot of peace and confidence knowing that it is a very safe and inviolable cloud service that meets all the features that make it a great service. The investment we made was not very high and the profits began to be seen shortly after we subscribed to this program. At this moment we have an application that allows us to transfer large volumes of information with just one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

We love the mobility that is achieved with its drag and drop tool. The work becomes more collaborative, and the access controls to each information cycle are better handled. We like that with its integration with pipPoint we can make comments on presentations, images, and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

With hightail we could not get an adequate deployment from mobile devices. It is as if the platform is not well optimized to offer the same control in an Android operating system as in that of a desktop computer. It does not have API, nor group chat, and to store documents it must be integrated to a third party service. It also does not offer a virtual conference system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail:

Hightail is perfect to streamline the creative processes of any team. It is good for debating publications and decisions in order to improve each campaign completely, and not to focus on a single file. It is also good for the management of customizable brands, and to follow the activity of the group at all times. It is recommended to medium and large companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The feeling of creativity that can be achieved with hightail is very big. The software offers an activity feed in which you can review file updates, content approvals, notes, and much more, completely in real time. The way in which work is delegated to team members has also improved, as assignments can be assigned with detailed deadlines. In this way each task remains highlighted on the rest, until the moment of its completion. Our bottleneck management is more systematized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding time stamps to video comments makes video editing easier for us. Conversing with clients in real time and collecting feedback and comments on our work is easiest with Hightail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I like about this tool is he did the scale of security options. This software has a wide array of security option which is tailored in making sure that your data is well protected. These security options include file protective password that is shared to the intended recipient. This passwords act as a gateway to access the file, you must insert them to download the file. It has also links which are set that they expire within a given time and they cannot be forwarded or used by another person. Another security option is user identity verification that helps in making sure that only the intended recipient access the file. All this security technology are used to make sure that your data is protected.

What do you like best about OpenText Hightail?

The biggest advantage of Hightail is that it gives us the possibility of distributing large files without major problems. The process is really simple. The interface is very intuitive. The learning curve is not accentuated. Files go through the cloud which allows each user to access them without having to wait for hours for a file to be downloaded. The best thing is that we can access the cloud from any device with internet access. It really is worth using this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Hightail?

I think that a disadvantage not only of Hightail but of any service of storage and transfer of files in the cloud is that unlike physical storage we must know very well which are the files that are useful for us at the moment and which are not, because the space is limited. Sometimes it is difficult to make a decision because unfortunately when we least think about it we need that file that we delete at some time. In fact, it has happened to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Hightail:

Hightail is ideal for those people and companies that by their nature need to exchange large files. It has a free version that can be very helpful. The technical support is very good giving answers almost automatically. It really is worth using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Now we have a service that saves us time (sharing a file only depends on a click), money (because we should not travel long distances carrying a document) and effort (it is very easy to use it). A colleague once recommended it to us and I think the best decision was to try it. We have really seen results in a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
