The online collaboration space that users actually use and embrace.
Among all the varieties of online collaboration software that I and the global networks I advise have used to try to build on-going, strong, virtual communication between our users, Glasscubes has been embraced and used more deeply, persistently and effectively than any other platform. Use the dashboard of recently added/changed/commented-upon to discover all the action throughout your Glasscube instance. It's an easy way to stay right on top of all developments. It gives confidence to users that their new contribution won't get lost deep in the site somewhere.
Pros
It has intuitively well-placed modules (dashboard of recent content; very functional workrooms - each with separate document/comments and more; effective tagging; and global search are most-used and appreciated.
Cons
I would find it advantageous for Glasscubes to widen its array of pricing options.

My experience with glasscubes has been that it is very simple to use with a few downfalls.
A huge benefit that I received from this software was the ability to share files, manage documents, and create my own personal content in one place. Whereas in the past, I would have had to use several different types of software to get all of these things done in a timely manner.
Pros
The thing that I love the most about this software is that I can easily share files and manage documents without worrying about security concerns. I also am a fan of the fact that I can create my own personal content within the software making it possible for me to use just one software compared to the many that I used to use.
Cons
The thing that I like least about this software is the fact that sometimes it can be very difficult to review documents while in the native viewer setting. Another thing that I am not a huge fan of is the fact that most features are add-on software that is available to you at a higher cost that can be very expensive when added with the initial cost of the software.

More Features for Collaborating across different businesses
Pros
I feel transferring files between different people and businesses is very easy and seems very secure to use.
Cons
I feel you can create things such as teams where if there are different companies collaborating on this then it will notify more than one person from the other company. As this is something that has been highlighted during my use of this software as my colleague would receive notifications and I would not. So maybe a feature where it would be easier for companies to collaborate to transfer the files easier.

Glasscubes, Customised platform for organisation collaboration
It has a customised layout system which is professional and easy to store and locate documents, the limitations with not being able to have multiple people editing a document and inability to share a document for editing outside of the organisation means this product is weaker than when compared to google docs.
Pros
The high security and protection of key documents, as well as the function that allows you to share documents with juniors or other people without giving there the ability to download or edit the original. Also the documents on Glasscubes can be uploaded in versions, so previous versions can be tracked and secured when needed.
Cons
It is very frustrating to share with other organisations who do not have the permission to access and edit the document as they are not a Glasscubes user, this makes cross-collaboration hard. Also if multiple people work on the same document- at the same time, you will get kicked out and it will become locked to the main editor, so again- not good for multi-person editing and collaboration.
Response from Glasscubes
Hi Samuel,
Thank you for your review and feedback. I wanted to reach out to you to address your frustrations. It is possible to securely share information from Glasscubes with external organisations, using our 'secure share link' feature. If you need to edit and collaborate with external parties, please contact your account administrator and request that they be added to your workspace.
When editing a file Glasscubes locks that file, so that other users cannot edit it at the same time, this protects the versioning of the document. During that time the file can still be viewed online, or downloaded by other users. If you use Office 365, it is also possible to co-edit documents, in much the same way as you can with Google Docs.
All the best, the Glasscubes Team.

A secure, reliable to allow you share and collaborate with a dispersed team
We are a dispersed team that work across across 130+ organisations. Glasscubes is a way that we can safely and securely store our documents and files and enable us to collaborate efficiently.
It is such a well thought out platform which, not only can users easily engage with but allows me as the manager to track version control on documents, see when staff have accessed material and track engagement with our partners.
The team at Glasscubes are also incredibly helpful, not only helping us iron out any issues but also taking on feedback as our use of Glasscubes increases. If you are working remotely and need a secure file sharing platform which also allows you to communicate easily with the team, I would highly recommend.
Pros
Version control - being able to see who has edited what and when, and also being able to revert to previous copies. Gives us additional peace of mind when a collaborative partner accidentally overwrites something.
The online editing and editing in real time is also really useful.
The security of the site and easy it is to control who sees what. Just incredibly flexible.
It's an incredibly reliable site.
Cons
Difficulty to say, as the team has always been very receptive to us asking for work arounds or new features that prove popular.

Simple, secure and accessible
Glasscubes is a simple to use and administer document management and collaboration portal. It provides easy web-based access to users regardless of location/domain, document version control and audit trail, and messaging between users to notify updates or prompt next action.
Pros
We have used Glasscubes for over 2 years to manage our bid development and project documentation. The key features that work well for us are:- Web based access allows staff based across multiple locations to connect, including those working on remotes sites not connected to our domain- Version control, easy to download/upload documents and provides detailed audit trail of activity- Ability to message users to notify a document has been updated, or requires input - invaluable during fast paced bid development- Easy to administer - setting-up new workspaces, enabling/disabling user access etc. takes seconds
Cons
With over 50 folders now, the list would be easier to navigate if displayed by group instead of a single list

Glasscubes: Fantastic File Sharing and Virtual Office Resource
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

Virtual Work Space
we cleared our back log for Under charges/Overcharges, Promotional Invoice claims.
Can easily access a lot of information without downloading it like policy documents/training mannuals.
Pros
I liked the work space speacially how I and my team can look into my performance on a task, before using we were receiving hard copies for invoices where suppliers were charging us different prices, my team leader wasn't completely aware of how many claims are outstanding but now they can log in to Glasscube and monitor our performance personally.
Easy Data/file sharing.
Its like a social Media, interactive and interesting.
Cons
Although it shows you you have completed the task but it still stays there and you will have to sort it from completed to pending, it would be more easier if after a certain time completed task either go into another folder or disappear.
Response from Glasscubes
Hi Adil,
Thank you for the feedback. It is possible to remove completed tasks from your task list automatically. However, that does depend on the view you have selected. Try using a view other than 'All' and see if that works for you. If not, please do reach out to us and we will help resolve that frustration.

Great for cross-company collaboration
Overall we're satisfied with Glasscubes as it's an easy to use platform that suits the needs of the company
Pros
As a project that works across multiple education institutions we need to be able to access files and resources simultaneously while wherever we are working and glasscubes allow us to do that. We can also post updates for all teams to see and project data is kept safe and secure as we need it to for GDPR reasons
Cons
The homepage and dashboard can look clunky and a little boring and the search bar doesn't really bring up what I'm looking for but luckily files are easy to find in the management system.

Easy to use, versatile and good UX
We have had an ongoing relationship with Glasscubes for the past few years now and they have been consistently efficient, professional, knowledgable and above all helpful!
Their communication has always been clear and responsive, particularly when dealing with some issues that are more time-sensitive.
5/5 for me so far.

Glasscubes is a good Cloud solution
As a multi-site company sharing sensitive data, we needed an internet based system so that we could share and update data easily. Of all the systems we've seen and tried, Glasscubes offers the best combination of features and pricing. It works well for us and we've been using it for many years.
Pros
It's easy to access and to use, particularly given that most of our users are not technically minded
Cons
On-line editing and sharing of documents could still be improved

Glasscubes has been invaluable
Pros
Glasscubes has been invaluable to our team in a variety of ways. It has allowed us to work collaboratively and effectively in a team which is based across several, geographically disparate institutions. It has been really useful to house all of our resources and being able to edit in browser with Microsoft 365 has been very helpful.
Cons
I don't have anything negative to say about Glasscubes, I have found the platform to be incredibly useful in our team!

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.
