Hear From Our Customers
“ShareFile just wasn’t intuitive. Users had trouble logging in, and there was no single sign-on. There was long downtime with every software update. We had limited visibility into what was being shared, when, and by whom. There were missing links and files, and the support services weren’t great.”

Chief Innovation Officer
Wintrust Financial Corp
