Couldn't be easier.
What do you like best about the product?
seamless interface. easy , Fast and convenient. Tech support is proactive , fast and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing. Egnyte is the best option for remote access and back up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in lieu of having a remote server, it has solved my firm access to work while on the road.
Excellent balance of functionality and ease of use, with reliable performance
What do you like best about the product?
I like how intuitive and user-friendly it is, letting me get things done quickly without a steep learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is that storage can’t be scaled up in small increments, forcing larger upgrades than needed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte centralizes our file storage and sharing, giving our team secure, remote access to documents while maintaining version control, which has improved collaboration and reduced time lost to locating or duplicating files.
Best Cloud drive experience
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Egnyte is its ease of use—it’s simple and intuitive to upload, organize, and access documents from anywhere. The ease of integration with our workflow makes it effortless to share files and collaborate with coworkers on projects in real time. I also appreciate the ease of implementation, as it was quick to set up and start using without disrupting our daily operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not encountered a major issue with Egnyte. I do dislike the timeout feature if i leave a document open for too long but it helps me to save my work before logging off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining the use of files and how quickly they are accessed rather than following a link or emailing the document that might be too large of a file to send.
Egnyte performs cloud storage, and now AI services
What do you like best about the product?
We've been onboarded to Egnyte for about 5 months and I can tell you that my CSM and AE are top notch- in my top 2 SaaS provider experiences (maybe #1? we will see!)
Egnyte is also demonstrating intriging AI features that go beyond the typical "CoPilot" bolt ons. I didn't move to Egnyte for their new and upcoming AI functionalities, however I can communicate that we are already incorporating these AI features into our roadmap.

What do you dislike about the product?
Migrating data to Egnyte can be quite a large undertaking, and while their professional services team is extremely knowledgeable and was very available for unscheduled contact, the Egnyte platform can be overwhelming for small teams. It is important, especially, to have a full understanding of the Secure & Govern functionalities. Training on S&G may need to be reinforced with scheduled follow up calls and even several reviews of the individual tenants S&G alerts with a one on one walkthrough on managing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost: Before Egnyte, our file data was fragmented across multiple platforms that were leveraged according to access methods and devices. Egnyte has enabled ALL of our users, regardless of location or device type, to easily access the same dataset.
A streamlined cloud file server solution with intuitive UI and responsive customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte's user interface is very intuitive and while it is easy to use, it also contains robust preferences and settings that allow for unique user roles and privileges. The initial set up process and transition was extremely easy and quick, almost unbelievably so which gave us a massive confidence boost in the product itself. The customer service team was able to answer all the questions we had, technical and otherwise, and assisted in the setup and were continually available throughout implementation and after! Sharing, locking, and co-editing files is easy and works extraordinarily well. If you open a file someone else is in, for instance, a popup appears not only telling you that the file is locked and read-only, but tells you which user is currently working in that file! It was extremely easy to integrate our workflow with the Egnyte system and the additional features that Egnyte has over other cloud server systems was just a cherry on top.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally we have experienced server slowdowns, but this has not happened often and seem to resolve themselves quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte helps solve an issue with concurrence CAD file usage where in previous systems "conflicted copies" were a common occurrence. While conflicted copies can occur with Egnyte, they are very uncommon due to how Egnyte handles file management. Egnyte's integrated Microsoft Office co-editing feature is a massive help for us where we previously had to use another system in addition to the cloud server software to achieve this. Lastly, the ability to quickly recover previous versions of files, lock files, and other quality of life features like being able to create share links directly from the Windows Explorer is a huge plus.
Egnyte Review – Reliable, Secure, and Built for Business
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte is a powerful and versatile platform for secure file storage, sharing, and collaboration. Its hybrid cloud capabilities make it especially valuable for organizations with both on-premise and remote work needs, allowing seamless access to files without sacrificing speed or security. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for end users to navigate, while IT teams benefit from granular permission controls, robust auditing, and strong compliance features (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.).
Performance is strong for both local and remote access, and integration with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other third-party apps is smooth. Mobile access is also reliable, enabling productivity on the go.

What do you dislike about the product?
Slightly higher learning curve for admins.
In my industry linked files from local servers need to be relinked
Pricing may be steep for very small teams(I recommend you have 25+ end users before considering)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte is solving the challenge of securely storing, sharing, and managing files across a mix of in-office and remote environments. It eliminates the headaches of VPN dependency and slow file access, giving our team a consistent, reliable way to collaborate from anywhere. With its strong permission controls and detailed audit logs, we can confidently protect sensitive project data and meet compliance requirements without adding administrative burden.
For us, the biggest benefit has been increased efficiency and security—files are organized in one central, well-structured location, so employees spend less time searching for documents and more time focusing on their work. The ability to integrate with our existing tools like Microsoft 365 streamlines workflows, reduces duplication, and makes collaboration seamless.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Egnyte has been a strong performer for our A/E/C workflows, there are a few areas that could benefit from continued refinement. The user interface, while functional, could be more intuitive for new team members who are less tech-savvy. Occasionally, syncing large BIM files or navigating folder structures can feel slower than ideal, especially in bandwidth-limited environments. That said, these are relatively minor and have been improving with each update. Egnyte’s customer support has been responsive whenever we’ve had questions or needed assistance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a growing architecture studio licensed in multiple states, Egnyte has solved one of our biggest operational challenges: securely managing and sharing large design files across remote teams, consultants, and clients. We work on fast-paced projects that require real-time collaboration — whether it's coordinating Revit models, sharing shop drawings, or issuing updated PDFs during construction. Egnyte allows us to do this seamlessly, without worrying about file version conflicts or data security.
It’s also helped us streamline compliance across jurisdictions by providing secure access controls and audit trails, which is essential when working with public agencies or on sensitive community projects. For a lean team like ours, Egnyte reduces IT overhead, keeps us agile, and lets us focus on design and client service — not tech troubleshooting. Ultimately, it's helped us work smarter, stay organized, and maintain the high level of professionalism our clients expect.

Secure File Sharing and Data Governance for Modern Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte strikes a rare balance between ease of use and robust security. Its hybrid cloud model is particularly impressive — it allows businesses to seamlessly combine on-premise file servers with cloud storage, which is perfect for organizations that need to manage large files or comply with strict data residency requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing Can Be High for Small Teams
While Egnyte offers enterprise-level features, the pricing structure may feel expensive for startups or small businesses, especially if they don't fully use the advanced governance tools.
Steeper Learning Curve for Admins
The admin panel is powerful but can be overwhelming at first. Setting up user permissions, managing compliance templates, or configuring hybrid deployment requires some technical understanding.
