5.0

Alexis S.: Hello, my name is Alexis, account manager for Genumark, and I give WeTransfer a five star. Before using WeTransfer, I would use WinZip and WinRAR. And even though that was the standard software to be downloading compressed files, I found that they were a little clunky and the interface was not very user-friendly. Those are all things that were really simplified and streamlined by WeTransfer. Main reasons for switching to WeTransfer was the fact that our company was not allowing us to receive zipped files anymore because a lot of malware and just viruses were being transferred by zip files, so we found that the companies that we worked with that were transferring large files, they needed another method to do that. And FTP sites were not adequate. And because we were barred from using WinZip and WinRAR, WeTransfer just answered all those requirements. It was a great fit. I started using the free version of WeTransfer. I used it for about four months. And it was something that I heard from one of my clients that said, "Hey, if I need to get you a file over, I'm going to send it to you by WeTransfer." And I was amazed at how quickly it was able to use and navigate. And I just right away adopted that as a platform for being able to transfer files. It was so easy, very user-friendly. No issues whatsoever. If you're looking for a solution of being able to transfer large files, WeTransfer is the software, the platform to integrate into your organization. Especially the pro version, which allows you to even manage larger files but also being able to see the files that you have uploaded and just be able to manage all the files that you have going on between you and your clients or customers.

Eugene L.: Hi, my name's Eugene. I am the owner of a commercial real estate company. We have about five people within our company. And I give Google Workspace five out of five. I used Microsoft Teams before, and where Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace have similar functionality, I just found Google Workspace to be more user-friendly across all my employees in different departments. I chose Google Workspace for my businesses because of how user-friendly it is and how cost-effective it is. Onboarding Google Workspace was actually pretty easy. I started with the email functionality, our main form of communication with both clients and tenants alike with our commercial real estate business. And then, as we worked through that system, we started using the drive. We started using cloud functionality, Google Workspace Docs, spreadsheets, etc. For those of you looking to integrate Google Workspace into your business, I highly recommend making sure that you're aware of how to integrate your website with Google Business and how that works to improve your business, as well as get reviews, etc.
