## Reviews

### "An Excellent Product for Multi-agency use" — 5.0/5

> **Maggie** | *21 February 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's easy to use and customer support is quickly available (Harriet always responds promptly)
> 
> **Cons**: Having to keep a constant eye on connections we use to ensure with are below the max limit
> 
> It is simple to use, very effective in its objectives (we never had an issue with its function), and it enables our internal and external staff/clients to work together using the same platform for docs without compromising data protection etc. As a manager, I do not use it for uploading or deleting docs, but more for overview and monitoring, which is very quick and simple to do.

### "Objective Connect in local government" — 5.0/5

> **Kevin** | *13 February 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use - new users can be up and running within minutes and require no technical assistance to do so. The user interface is well laid out and easy to follow.
> 
> **Cons**: From an admin perspective removing users who have left and clearing down their files wasn't easy, but new features have been provided recently to improve that.
> 
> Excellent product which is secure, well supported, and provides all the features users need for safe, easy and timely sharing of sensitive files.

-----

### "Connecting providers with companies" — 3.0/5

> **Elizabeth** | *28 August 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Secure transfer of documents to external parties to avoid breaching privacy and security of information
> 
> **Cons**: As administrator there is no overview of last time workspace was used - no end date column - difficult to manipulate from the webpage because its attached to our RM system
> 
> Mostly ok - just frustratingly difficult for administrators trying to keep the count down. Have already suggested improvements multiple times.

-----

### "Very Happy" — 4.0/5

> **Dianne** | *28 August 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the ability to share information with external parties while managing the records in Objective ECM.   Auditing - evidence of access to records etc.
our Compliance team us Connect to allow customers to upload photos and videos which means files end up in Objective ECM...
> 
> **Cons**: with objective ECM and Connect integration - can be confusing for staff to understand when they need to access Connect from ECM or cloud.....
> 
> great - since commencing using Connect many years ago, functionality has improved considerably and Connect has eliminated many barriers previously faced with sharing/receiving documents and files with external parties.

### "Objective Connect" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *18 February 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use for the end user. Very intuitive with minimal training needed for user to get the best out of system.  Security aspect with built in encryption and access by invite only.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the Administration side of things can be a bit awkward having to use API's to perform tasks but these are being addressed to simplify the task.
> 
> Very positive. Again, very user friendly and secure.

Trusted by more than 200 organisations worldwide, it enables confident collaboration with external partners while ensuring sensitive information never leaves sovereign control.\n\nAt its core, Objective Connect empowers organisations to maintain complete visibility and control over shared content. With Zero Trust Architecture, every interaction is logged, every permission is configurable, and every file remains secured within Australia’s geo-locked AWS PROTECTED zones. Sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit (AES-256 and TLS) and protected by advanced access controls including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and two-step verification.\n\nCollaboration Without Compromise:\n\nObjective Connect makes external collaboration seamless and secure. Teams can co-author a single version of a document, eliminating version chaos and email silos. Feedback can be centralised through annotations, tagging, and threaded comments. The platform supports multiple file types—documents, images, videos, PDFs, presentations, and links—within one controlled workspace. Real-time access across web and mobile ensures collaboration continues securely anywhere, anytime.\n\nSecurity by Design:\n\nConnect is certified to ISO9001, ISO27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus, aligned with the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight, and independently IRAP-assessed for PROTECTED-level data. With Defence-in-Depth architecture, compliance is built in—not bolted on. By inheriting policies from enterprise content management systems like Objective Nexus or Content Manager, external collaboration automatically aligns with internal governance and regulatory frameworks.\n\nGranular Control and Management:\n\nUnlike “all-or-nothing” file sharing tools, Objective Connect offers precise user control. Administrators can set project-specific policies, from view-only access with watermarks to full editing rights. Permissions can be updated instantly as roles change, ensuring the right people always have the right level of access. Unlimited external partners can be onboarded without complex setup, while organisational branding reinforces trust in every interaction.\n\nAuditability and Compliance:\n\nEvery action is captured in a tamper-proof audit trail. Objective Connect produces executive-ready compliance reports in seconds, showing exactly who accessed what, when, and what they did. This bridges the gap between collaboration and compliance, providing records managers and auditors with the assurance of complete transparency and accountability.\n\nDesigned for Ease of Use:\n\nDespite its enterprise-grade security, Objective Connect remains simple for external partners. New users can access secure workspaces in minutes—no training required. With multilingual support (English, Māori, Welsh) and intuitive design, collaboration is frictionless while maintaining zero trust security.\n\nWhy Choose Objective Connect?\n\nAustralian-owned, sovereign platform: All data stays within Australian jurisdiction.\n\nTrusted in regulated environments: Designed for government, healthcare, utilities, and corporates with sensitive data.\n\nSeamless integration: Works with existing content management and governance systems.\n\nWorld-class compliance: ISO-certified, ACSC-aligned, and IRAP-assessed.\n\nSecure mobility: Collaborate from anywhere on any device without compromising security.\n\nWith Objective Connect, organisations can confidently collaborate externally, knowing their most sensitive information remains secure, compliant, and sovereign. It’s not just a file-sharing tool, it’s a complete solution for secure, accountable, and sovereign digital collaboration.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/ff8e7729-ec81-404a-84eb-f013b25c9794.jpeg","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2080231/objective-connect","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2080231/objective-connect#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.5,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":8},"offers":{"price":"830","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"AUD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Windows, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"File Sharing Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/422/file-sharing-api/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Objective Connect","position":3,"item":"/software/2080231/objective-connect","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2080231/objective-connect#breadcrumblist"}]}
