For more than 12 months, ESG has engaged with vendors of business-oriented online file sharing and collaboration (OFS) solutions to understand their offerings, intellectual property, and business models. Based on the many questions we’ve received from IT professionals, vendors, and end-users, earlier this year, ESG decided to undertake a hands-on test drive of these products to uncover strengths, areas for improvement, and distinctive capabilities. The overall goal of the ESG OFS Test Drive program was to obtain a real-world point of view on the established and emerging business-oriented OFS solutions from the perspective of IT administrators and end-users alike.
This report is a consolidated summary of our OFS Test Drive findings. For a complete description of how a specific vendor fared in each of our test categories, please see that vendor’s detailed vendor report.
