Glasscubes Reviews

"Glass Cubes for Shared documents internally"

Comments: It is a good system here has been some bugs but generally, the security and structure is better for our organisation than relying on google drive

Pros: It is an excellent way to store documents by department, and limit access to certain documents by junior staff

Cons: Multiple parties can not edit the same document at the same time as it locks to one user- unlike google docs

"Cheap and cheerful collaboration"

Pros: Ease of set-up and simple cost model. Sharing documents with suppliers is non chargeable license. Fast on boarding

Cons: Poor versioning, real basic desktop UI, poor integration with mobile platforms

"Glasscubes: Fantastic File Sharing and Virtual Office Resource"

Comments: In searching for a resource that would tie multiple working teams that adjudicate and support over 70 churches and social service agencies in the upper Midwest of the USA, we explored many options but settled on glasscubes. Ease of use, excellent labeling and parking of necessary files, reviews, collaborative projects confidentially limited to particular subsets of larger collaborative team was a huge seller. Being able to use discussion and polling options for online formal decision making, global calling options, doc reviews, pushed notices, universal calendaring and strong tech support made glasscubes an easy decision.

Pros: Ease of use
Excellent labeling and parking of necessary files
File review and collaboration made easy
Easy management of access for large pool of users
Great discussion and polling options for online decision making
Global calling options
Pushed notices
Good calendar tool
Strong tech support

Cons: Sometimes difficult to review docs in native viewer/editor
Costs lower under 'per workspace' model than new 'per user' model

"Great tool for securely sharing resources with remote team members"

Comments: We are able to easily meet our Data Protection obligations and quickly and easily share files between remote workers literally drag, drop and you're done. It's as easy as if we were sharing files in the office...

Pros: The ease of use and support is fantastic. I save so much time by using Glasscubes. No longer do I have to spend time creating encrypted zip files to email. I just drag it into the required folder, click save and I'm done. Plus it's easy for me to see if anyone updates any of the files, makes a comment etc. Setting permissions is easy too so I can be sure the files are only going to the right people.

Cons: That I wasted so much time doing this all manually before I'd heard of Glasscubes!

"Great customer service and best intranet around. Intregral part of our company now."

Pros: Easy to use and support has been excellent. Particularly useful for controlling document versions and issuing the latest information to your team. Would recommend to anyone looking to set up a company intranet

Cons: There is not an app version yet, so is not the easiest to use with a tablet. I believe this is being looked into though.

"Great service for shared service users"

Pros: Provides an excellent service for our funded project. Enables data to be shared between partners securely and effectively. Would recommend to others who work with several partners for a space where information can be shared and stored for all to access securely.

Cons: It is a bit of a minefield if you are a new user.

"Better than most other similar systems"

Comments: Easy version control. Great to have documents with you everywhere.

Pros: Easy to control versions, love how I can access anywhere with any device. Believe it or not this tech is new to the healthcare business!

Cons: Having to download and edit and upload new versions every time. The 'file unlocked' vs 'locked' functionality is a little confusing.

"Very straightforward and easy"

Pros: Very easy to use. Uploading documents is straightforward and navigating the site is simple. Very positive experience

Cons: Most of the time the customer service is fantastic, they respond very quickly initially although I recently got a little frustrated as it took several hours for them to see my response and it was actually resolved the following day once I chased again. I have no idea how busy they are though!

"Glasscubes Tool"

Comments: Collaboration, sharing documents, communications all great features.

Pros: Excellent tool to collaborate with project team members located around the world, as well as maintain security of content. Perfect solution to my needs without the technical stress of SharePoint platform. Truly great customer service when one needs assistance.

Cons: Would benefit from a simple user manual available on-line or in pdf. Looking things up in articles (although they are good articles) takes too much time. Tool needs a viewer for Microsoft Project and Visio files.

"Good Experience, Great Customer Service, But Needs Some Tweaking"

Pros: I love the intuitive drag-and-drop uploading, and the interface is so simple that few of my users have struggled to use our knowledge base, including my less technical users. I'd recommend GlassCubes to those who are struggling to gain traction with more powerful, complex platforms.

Cons: The extra features included in this platform are sub-par. After months of evaluation, my team determined it would be to strip out everything except the main features. I'd like to see a more powerful secondary features in order to increase the value of the platform.

"Great way to store and exchange documents"

Pros: Notification when someone updates a document and the ability to let several remote workers contribute to a document.

Cons: Searches sometimes bring up irrelevant results making it harder to find what you're looking for. I would like to be able to create a "to do" list.

"Functional and easy to use"

Comments: Very good. The developer quickly enabled additional functionality on demand to suite our civic requirements.

Pros: Its a functional and easy to use file sharing platform. The interface is effective and allows me and my team to move large amount of data between internal and external sources.

Cons: Can sometimes be quite demanding on an aging laptop. But this is less a Glasscubes issue than a hardware issue.

"Great app."

Comments: Have all your business documents archived as organized as possible and can be easily viewed by all your team members.

Pros: What I like the most is that it is very fast and super easy to use. You can have everything super organized with all the details and documents as you need.

Cons: I do not like the method for it to move files, it is not to easy, have to go back and select all the files etc.

"Great product, with ease of use at the heart of it"

Pros: User friendly, easy to navigate and to add and or to remove documents. The ability to have documents in one place and to search for those document is a strong feature of this product.

Cons: Very difficult to identify any substantive cons, save from not being able to work on / edit documents uploaded at the same time with others individuals

"Perfect bidding tool"

Comments: Delighted to have found Glasscubes, will be reluctant to run a bid without it in the future.

Pros: Clearly designed by people who understand bidding, it is intuitive to use and provides all the necessary controls.

Cons: Speed of uploading large files - but that may have been my broadband!

"Ease Of Use"

Pros: I have used Glasscubes for a few months and have nothing but positive outcomes. I find it easy to use, user friendly and files are easily accessible. Would recommend to all

Cons: When editing a file sometimes you have to re-upload instead of editing and saving.

"Great Addition"

Comments: A very helpful software, we were missing something that could help us organize and most importantly search and find documents all in one place. Glasscubes has gone a long way to help us achieve this, they're also making improvements regularly and their customer service is very proactive.

Pros: Easy to use
Constantly Improving
Value for Money
Very Good Customer Service

Cons: Few small bugs

"Great collaboration tool"

Pros: - good collaboration with the team
- great feedback collation tool from client
- great tool for the team to work on the same document at the same time

Cons: - it takes a while to get used to it
- if a user doesn't publish a document to every other user, there is the chance of missing the updated document.

"Very positive"

Pros: Really excellent way to store and share up to date resources in one clear place - really adds to collaborative working

Cons: The inability to flag posts or notifications - when the platform is updated as regularly as it is, it can be difficult to stay on top of everything on your workspaces.

"New to using Glass Cubes"

Comments: Our business continues to be a big supporter in using Glass cubes.

Pros: Very quick and helpful and easy to use also when you have a problem, there is always some one there to help you

Cons: Nothing as its a very good and simple online tool that every one can use.

"Nice and easy to use, even for non IT orientated people and the support is second to none."

Comments: Nice and simple way to share documents with a team overseas

"GlassCubes 5*"

Comments: I use it every day over a wide network and would recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Easy to use, easily customisable and very user friendly.

"Good way to work across countries"

Pros: Easy to use, provides space for teams across the world to work on specific projects, really helpful tool for internal communications.

"Online Teamwork"

Comments: Overall it was easy to work together online and get projects done in a timely manner.

Pros: Easy to connect to coworkers in just a matter of minutes upon initial setup.

Cons: Not a huge fan of the layout of the "files" portion

"Very easy to set up and use; and easy to upload and download documents."

Comments: Easy to share documents with project team and maintain document control so that we all have access to the latest version

Pros: Very easy to set up and use; and easy to upload and download documents. Glasscubes is a great workspace to share files with others in a team or project group. The ability to add comments and to "message" others with links to a file, gives it the edge over sharing a Dropbox.

Cons: Having to download files to edit them, and then upload the new version is a bit of a clart and less capable than Sharepoint, but Glasscubes is for people who are not necessarily all on the same sharepoint
