Our new browser-based Shared-Drives in the cloud; intuitive for users and painless to deploy.

With several remote branches and sales reps all over the place and were looking for a way to move our shared drives to the cloud - that our users will ACTUALLY USE (dare I say: LIKE).
This Yarkon product was very simple to deploy (as a test run first, then in production); we had a small question (after trying to improvise during the installation...) and their support was quick and efficient.
Once in place it was completely intuitive for our early adopters and almost as easy on the, ahhhmmm, less-competent users (did I mention Sales Reps?!); people spoiled by 5-30 years of Windows Explorer and/or Mac Finder knew exactly where to go and what to do when first browsing to Ys3's user interface (to the point it took a while to understand why files need to be downloaded for local editing).
The Admin Console further improved my quality of life, especially with users coming and going constantly.
If there's a down-side it's the lack of some of the superfluous features I got used to paying extra for and rarely using, but the end-user ease of use and virtually no learning curve on both the admin and customer side, not to mention the cost-effectiveness, made this a no brainer for IT and a quick sell to those who sign our checks.
