“EFSS offerings enable modern user productivity and collaboration scenarios for the creation of a digital workplace.”
—Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing, Monica Basso, Jeffrey Mann, Karen Hobert, 21 July 2016.
Gartner’s Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors within a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and their ability to execute on that vision. So what does it mean to be a Leader? According to the report, Gartner defines Leaders as providing “mature offerings that meet market demand. They have demonstrated the vision necessary to sustain their market positions as requirements evolve. The hallmark of Leaders is that they focus and invest in their offerings to lead the market and affect its overall direction.”
Here’s where we believe we excel:
File sync: We offer best-in-class sync with a higher success rate across multiple devices and platforms, and customers tell us that Dropbox syncs faster and has a higher sync success rate than other solutions.
Developer network: We have a large network of technology partners, with over 500 billion calls on our API per year, thanks to the Dropbox developer ecosystem.
User experience: Customers around the world including Aller Media, Condé Nast Britain, Ecolab, Expedia, HPE, Lagardère Active, NASDAQ, News Corp, and Under Armour love using Dropbox because of our simple, user-centric design. And we’re providing them with the productivity and collaboration features they need, such as deep product integrations with Adobe and Microsoft Office 365, as well as native tools like the Dropbox badge and document scanning.
Security and compliance: Keeping information safe and secure is a top priority for Dropbox. We’ve built a solution with the robust security needed to thrive in the enterprise and our product easily integrates with a broad ecosystem of security partners. Our many certifications, including ISO 27001 and ISO 27018, and our HIPAA compliance support, are testaments to that.
