User Testimonials
	IBM File Transfer Service	Leapfile Managed File Transfer
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM No answers on this topic	Leapfile We replaced ShareFile, that we had used for 7 years, due to a cost increase. LeapFile appeared to provide the exact same solution for a better price. However, the headaches we are experiencing with the product are costing us valuable time, money and frustration, both among our staff and between our clients.

Pros	IBM No answers on this topic	Leapfile There are 3 ways to use LeapFile: the desktop app, the web app, the Outlook plugin Neal Rosenthal Technical Specialist Read full review
Cons	IBM No answers on this topic	Leapfile The interface is almost all text-based with minimal graphics. Because of that it can be difficult for our employees and our clients to quickly decide what action to take to complete their downloads. We have found the admin controls to not work consistently, causing lots of headaches. Some emails sent via the Outlook plugin will cause formatted text to look extremely confusing on the download page that a client must view in order to take an action to retrieve their files. The text shows all the HTML code wrapped around it. Uploads web page will tend to hold a cookie that "remembers" an expired link, causing our clients to receive an error.

Alternatives Considered	IBM No answers on this topic	Leapfile Similar functionality but LeapFile has a lower cost and a more basic interface. ShareFile was infinitely easier to use for both our employees and clients Neal Rosenthal Technical Specialist Read full review
Return on Investment	IBM No answers on this topic	Leapfile Too much time spent on addressing individual client issues while attempting to send or retrieve files. Too much time spent on testing and troubleshooting our employees' issues while attempting to send or retrieve files. Neal Rosenthal Technical Specialist Read full review
