- They faced challenges when trying to share files securely from their cloud storage, and also struggled to track user analytics, such as logins, logouts, and file downloads.

- The company staff could share large files without hassle, utilizing various authentication methods, including form-based authentication and SSO, to securely share files with external users in a simple and efficient manner.
- Additionally, NirvaShare’s audit feature proved invaluable for tracking users and ensuring compliance. Admins could monitor audit logs and receive detailed reports via email or by integrating a syslog server.
