From outside looking-in, the offerings all look similar. However, the approach to the solution is completely different in satisfying enterprises primary need of easy access to their files without compromising privacy, security and control. The fundamental areas of difference are as follows:

Privacy, Security & Complete Control

Citrix ShareFile:

Citrix ShareFile is a public cloud that provides an EFSS solution. As soon as enterprises start using a public cloud based EFSS solution, the proclamation of Privacy, Security & Complete Control is a fallacy.

Tonido FileCloud:

Tonido FleCloud is an EFSS solution that can be installed on-premise and all the enterprise files doesn’t leave the premise. Needless to say, on-premise hosted EFSS solution provides the true private, secure and complete control for enterprises over their assets. Moreover, there are not any storage limits and cost doesn’t go up for additional storage.

Pricing

Citrix ShareFile:

Enterprises need to buy add-on or upgrade to satisfy basic requirements of an EFSS solution. For a 20 user package, the cost adds up to around $5620/Year ($3960 for 20 GB/User/Year + $1660 for StorageZone $83/User/ Year).

Tonido FileCloud:

Enterprises get one simple solution with all features bundled. For the same 20 user package, with more features the cost is $999/year, almost 1/5th of Citrix ShareFile.

Feature benefits of Tonido FileCloud over Citrix ShareFile

NTFS Shares Support – Many organizations use the NTFS permissions to manage and control the access permissions for internal file shares. It is very hard to duplicate the access permissions to other systems and keep it sync. FileCloud enables access to internal file shares via web and mobile while honoring the existing NTFS file permissions. This functionality is a great time saver for system administrators and provides a single point of management.

Network Shares Support – FileCloud’s network share feature satisfies enterprise requirement of user/group specific access to folders. And, as files are already shared via network shares, no need for additional setup or products to buy. Moreover, FileCloud provides Active Directory & LDAP support along with NTFS permission support restricting access to network folders to just authorized users.

Multi-Tenancy Support – The multi-tenancy feature allows Managed Service Providers(MSP) serve multiple customers using single instance of FileCloud. The key value proposition of FileCloud multi-tenant architecture is that while providing multi-tenancy the data separation among different tenants is also maintained . Moreover, every tenant has the flexibility for customized branding. MSPs who are interested in becoming FileCloud partners click here
