Micro Focus Filr

What do you like best?

Allows for the user of an on-premise storage solution similar to DropBox / Google Drive, etc.

What do you dislike?

Controls for how files are synchronized via desktop clients. For example, if you have someone try and clean up their local hard drive they may delete files from Filr ( which would sync back to the server ). There should be something to alert an admin of such an event to approve before it's completed.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Each new version the product keeps getting better. For a VM environment keep in mind that upgrades do require a new VM to be put in place. The storage from one VM can be moved as opposed to copied.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The ability for laptop and work at home users to be able to access and sync their data to corporate systems for backup and retention.
