In the world of engineering and manufacturing, where precision and efficiency reign supreme, enterprises need to manage and share files while maintaining security and branding. In fact, in this dynamic industry, properly managing file sharing and storage can be the difference between success and stagnation.
Enter FileCloud – your ultimate partner in streamlining file management and supercharging productivity. Today, we're delving into why FileCloud outshines Azure Files when it comes to enterprises working in engineering and manufacturing.
In engineering and manufacturing, data sovereignty is paramount. With FileCloud, you're the master of your data's destiny. Need to keep your sensitive design files on your server for security reasons? FileCloud's on-premises option allows you to do just that, without sacrificing accessibility.
Of course, FileCloud also provides other options, such as FileCloud Online (hosted by FileCloud), or a hybrid deployment. With FileCloud, you have the flexibility to tailor your hosting environment to your exact specifications.
Azure Files? Unfortunately, they only offer an online option, which means if you want to host your own data—well, you can’t.
That's where FileCloud's customization options comes into play. From branding elements like logos and color schemes to fine tuning messaging like CSS, FileCloud empowers you to make the platform truly your own.
Unfortunately, Azure Files doesn’t offer customization options—it’s kinda like using off-the-shelf parts in a custom-built machine – functional, perhaps, but sorely lacking in the personal touch needed to set your brand apart from the competition and threat actors.
Security is non-negotiable in engineering and manufacturing, where proprietary designs and sensitive data are the lifeblood of innovation. Sharing these files is vital to the design and review process, so you need robust protection to relay information to authorized recipients, while keeping files safe from prying eyes. FileCloud's DRM features provide a fortress of security, including a Secure Web Viewer, screenshot prevention, and granular control over file access and sharing permissions.
Azure Files doesn’t have these DRM protections. Once you share your files (and let’s be honest, you have to share files in order to succeed), your sensitive and protected data and intellectual property could be shared or stolen by anyone.
FileCloud isn't just another file-sharing tool – it's the Swiss Army knife of file management, purpose-built for engineering and manufacturing excellence. Need to share files with military-grade security? Zero Trust File Sharing® has got your back. Worried about accidental data leaks? Smart Data Loss Prevention (DLP) keeps a watchful eye on your files, ensuring they stay where they belong – in your hands.
Azure Files has some similar options… but not in Azure Files itself. Because Azure Files is part of Microsoft, they have add-ons and integrations available, which you will have to research, integrate, and deploy within your Azure Files account (possibly at greater expense). Why bother with pulling together a piecemeal solution when you can just use FileCloud’s all-in-one platform with built-in tools?
When it comes to file management for engineering and manufacturing pros, FileCloud is the tool of choice. With its flexible hosting options, extensive customization capabilities, top-tier security features, and built-in business functionalities, FileCloud empowers enterprises to unleash their full potential and drive innovation.
Don't settle for less – elevate your engineering and manufacturing game with FileCloud and take your operations to new heights of efficiency and excellence.
