Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Email management is criminally underrated in businesses, and programs like Cloudfiler really show that businesses can easily improve their efficiency, organisation and communication by simply utilising Cloudfiler. In my engineering capacity, it is considered an essential tool in ensuring accuracy and ensuring everybody has access to the same information. Having used Cloudfiler for a while now, I struggle to think of how I would complete tasks without it. It's incredibly easy to use, and incredibly powerful in the sense that you have all of your company's emails at your disposal. The set up is very flexible and can cater to your own needs in terms of security, accessibility, availability. It's great at ensuring that in your daily workflow nothing has "slipped through the cracks" is worth every penny. My company had moved from Mail Manager to Cloudfiler due to the exorbitant fees, and have been very impressed that Cloudfiler can deliver the same functionality but with (in my experience) a better customer service and tech-support experience.
  • The transition from our previous software, made at very short notice on our part, was incredibly smooth. They worked exceptionally hard to ensure everything was completed within the small window available, making the migration both quick and straightforward. Communication and support throughout the process were excellent. We’ve now been using the software for a few months and, although we are still learning, the team has consistently been available for technical advice and aftercare support. We are very happy with the software and how well it is performing within our system to date. We look forward to future updates, which we believe will only enhance what is already a very useful mail filing solution.
  • Costs are cheap compared to competitors, product is lightweight and can use on all devices including Mobile Phones. Also, the have an extremely responsive support/development team.
  • Very fast and practical. Is very visual which makes it easier. Also it reminds you to file the sent emails which is great!
  • I like the ease of use and how much time I save. The cost is one of the main reasons we decided to go with CloudFiler, no regrets! Customer support is also excellent!
  • Ease to use, Outlook add-in compatible with old and new OWA. Cloud based, automatic rollout to users.
  • Very responsive technical team when we were setting up and had the odd bug. Does the job and easy to use. Like seeing whether someone else has filed the same email.
  • The filing location set up is very convenient as once it is set up the locations are saved so if you change machines you do not need to re-map all the filing locations again as they are already set up. The search function is easy to use and it is easy to move emails if they need to be filed somewhere else. The electronic back up is also a good feature and very useful if an email gets deleted, it's easy to retrieve and file in the in house system.
  • We switched from a competitor's product to CloudFiler for 2 main reasons. Firstly, CloudFiler has a much better vision with the product. We added some MAC users to the network and our previous solution did not have a MAC version. Secondly, CloudFiler costs much less and provides most if not all the features and capabilities and more.
  • Ease of operation. A simple and effective solution to daily email management. Could not live without this!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Finds any document, email, spreadsheet in a second or two simply by recalling a character string or sentence, shows results in any order I want (I prefer by date with most recent at the top). When I click on a result, it shows me a perfect image of it in the right window, and I can view and edit it right there!
  • Easy when you get the hang of it, to find files that would be lost to you, amongst the mass of files and emails on your system, without X1. Top three softwares of all time for me. Saves me at least 30 min per day. 1.25 million emails and files on my system - along with a hazy memory - so can't do without it. I've used it for 15+ years
  • X1 does what it should do, fast accurate searches of a big set of data files on my desktop computer. And when I see the list of "hits" based on my search parameters, I can quickly and easily see if those files are really what I need from the viewer built into X1. No need to open each file in its native application before deciding whether it's what I want. Also, when I do find a file I'm looking for, I can double click it from within X1 and it opens in the correct application (like Microsoft Word if its a .docx file). Often, if I'm just looking for specific phrase or paragraph in a prior contract, I just block copy that specific wording to the clipboard from within X1 and never need to open the old contract in Word or PDF software. I've been using X1 for many years (almost every day) in my law practice. It's one of about 5 programs I can't live without. I've tried other desktop search programs, none of which can compare to XI. Another reviewer suggested that X1 needs a better GUI. Maybe. But my take is different on this point. X1 is not a light entertainment program. It's a tool--for work. Like a farmer's tractor. Doesn't need to be pretty. Just needs to be rock solid reliable, which XI is. It' not like buying a Porche to impress the girls. No need to get too worked up over the GUI. It's entirely adequate for my legal work. Also, I appreciate the one time license fee. So much software, today, is sold on an annual subscription fee basis, which users should try to avoid. The price charged by XI is not a steal for the user, but it is reasonable. I wish I could easily provide so much value to my clients for that price.
  • The search features are fantastic. The application indexes and finds the search criteria quickly unless the index is large.
  • Fast search performance Search documents & emails as well Supports searching on major cloud repositories Sharepoint Integrations Light on system resource - low system requirements

Cons

  • Sometimes the indexing stops (not sure why), but I only reboot every week or two, and it always works after a reboot.
  • Cost - used to be a one time fee. Now it is an annual fee. Not justifiable for a utility. If doing annual then have to bring the cost down by two-thirds to around $30 per year. All they was kept it at the same price and made it annual! Very disappointing.
  • It's a little tricky to set up X1 when you first install it. It helps to set up the search indexing with filters so that it searches only the kind of data files that are relevant to you. For example, in my case, I set up X1 to search Word files, PDFs, Excel files, and Outlook email files (PST) in certain folders on my main data drive. I don't want X1 spending time indexing or searching application files, or files like HotDocs templates, or duplicate backup files on backup drives. X1 can certainly do that, but getting it right took a little extra time on the front end. Clearly, though, it was worth the effort.
  • The GUI is terrible. There is no indication when the search is done searching or what it is doing. Scrolling too fast in the found items messes up the display. They are very slow to respond. Very slow during development. Very slow to fix any issues. I was told one time that I had too many search items and I should remove some data from my computer...REALLY? All this and there is an annual subscription cost.
  • Quite expensive license for such a basic utility. Only available on Windows.
