The sending and revision of files, as well as their feedback, are one of the exceptional characteristics that OpenText Hightail has and the one that has been most useful for managing multiple projects and campaigns. Since the immediate sending and management, there is a task that not only facilitates the monitoring and development of projects but also their effectiveness. Added to this, it gives multiple managements in multiple areas, in content, documentation, and above all in communication.

Hightail is ideal when sending large art files for print. It eliminates the need for compressing and or zipping files. Files can be easily uploaded from multiple locations, and file type and size are never an issue when sending.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Hightail to email large files both within our organization and to people outside the company. We work with many outside vendors and need to share graphics files, which are large. We also use Hightail to send training videos and similar information to our customers. We used to send a lot of information via CDs or USBs but that was inefficient and time-consuming. In addition, many of our customers no longer accept USBs because of the possibility of malware or viruses. Many different departments use the system including Marketing, Technical Support, Engineering, and Customer Service.

With the one small caveat regarding making downloading easier, I think the system is very effective and would recommend it to any colleagues. If working in an industry where many of the recipients are not tech savvy, you may want to look at a different option. But if someone is receiving email, I think it is a fair assumption that they'll figure out what to do. There are basically just two places to click and common sense should tell the user that if they click the first place and it doesn't work, then they should try clicking the other place.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We generally use OpenText Hightail in order to streamline storage, delivery, organization, and data management of our video performances for our nonprofit's youth showcases. It has been primarily used by our Executive Director and Office Manager in order to have a safe place for the videos but is also used by video editors for uploading.

OpenText Hightail is well suited to store large files and have them easily accessed by different members of your organization that have their own login information. It's less appropriate for hosting direct links to share videos or data to constituents that are not direct staff or don't have their own login information.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Hightail mainly for its large file transfer capabilities. I started using it way back when it was called YouSendIt. Today there are numerous options for this type of service, however my familiarity with Hightail and its feature set allows me to be very quick and efficient with its use. Large files transfers are important in my businesses and I love the capabilities that Hightail offers. I never really liked using ftp servers and the like. It just always seemed like a cumbersome option and I found that often something would go wrong. Hightail (or YouSendIt, back when I first started using it) was the first option that I found that made sending large files and attachments simple and intuitive.

Likelihood to Recommend

Hightail is my go-to source when I need to send large files that would never fit as regular attachments. That being said, sometimes there are files that would perfectly fit as attachments but I want the security that Hightail provides when sending sensitive or private material. It's very comforting knowing that the content I'm sending is only being received and viewed by the intended parties. It's also comforting for my clients when it's THEIR content that I'm sending for review.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Hightail as a whole operation to transfer large files internally and to our clients.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited to sending large files to clients or parties outside of the organization.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our agency often sends large files to prospects and clients that are too large to attach to emails. While we leverage DropBox for collecting and sharing many files, Hightail is useful when we need to send over a single, large document and we need to be able to track when the email is received and when the document is downloaded. This is especially useful for proposals, statements of work, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

HighTail is an easy solution for sending large files and not requiring the contact to have an account in order to download the file. It offers one-click downloading of the files which makes it really easy on the contact. If you are just looking to send files and track their whereabouts, this is a great solution.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company handles lots of construction drawings, and are usually huge files. Hightail helps us transfer these large files back and forth among general contractors and vendors.
