Reliable and Secure Virtual Hard Drive
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is Egnyte's virtual hard drive, as it saves me from the high costs of purchasing and maintaining servers. Egnyte platform is super friendly and easy to use and implement. We saved all our admin and project stuffs in Egnyte every day. And Egnyte is very easy to integrate with Microsoft, Adobe, and AudoDesk products. Plus, Egnyte has a very strong customer services team who would be willing to solve our problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot find any dislike about Egnyte. We have been using Egnyte since 2008 and they only have less than 10 issues that we need to make phone calls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best benefit is we can work any place in the world where WiFi is available. I personally work from Taiwan and can access company data through Egnyte in Taiwan. Their virtual hard drive works very well with Window platform and it literally open files very fast. We have been with Engyte since 2008 the year we started the business. Within 12 years, we only have few episodes and Egnyte's great technical teams responded very fast. When we started with Egnyte 1st few years, there was few connecting issue and file got locked problem and their great customer services solved our problem right away. I have never waited for a long period.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have been with Egnyte since 2008. They have stored, maintained, and secured our data very well. With Egnyte's virtual hard drive technology, my partners and I can work from home a lot in the night. We even carry our laptops to oversea and keep our business running no matter where we are . When this COVID-19 hit, we have no problem to send our admin employees working from home. Even now, we begin to implement to story the soil lab testing results in Egnyte, and our technician can access the data via their smart phones and get the results right away. Within 12 years of experience with Egnyte, they only have few episodes that requires us to shut down our office for few hours, but thanks to their great customer services and technical team, they responded very quick and get us back to work in no time. Egnyte is a reliable business and partner to work with. I strongly recommend Egnyte to any small or big businesses or even personal freelancer.
Budget Friendly File Sharing

Cloud-based file sharing that is scalable, fits any budget and can be accessed via multiple devices and platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the administrative tools and the GUI can be a bit clumsy.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

the ability to get connected everywhere with smart phone, tablet, CPU makes it a very handy tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
dont like to keep going to multiple layers of folders all the time, good thing you can add to favorites
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
connectivity issues with different members of our team as well as subcontractor access to vital paperwork. the benefit of been able to send request for them to upload folders and get them categorized in folders by user uploading the files.
Best of both worlds
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the fact I can dedicate on-prem storage and replicate it out to the cloud and get granular with managing access.
What do you dislike about the product?
Now that it's been a few years using this product. I've learned the hard way that their terms are highly draconian. Sales team is very deceptive. There is a major disconnect with their customer base which is a disappointment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our on-prem file server is nice yet it lacks the features that Egnyte makes up for.
Egnyte- A great cloud storage solution for companies looking for external storage of secured data.
What do you like best about the product?
Securely transfers files.
Easy to use interface.
Explorer style UI makes it easy for end users to access,upload,download and edit files.
Nice feature is the comments area for a particular file. It allows for collaboration on a document and a notification option that the file was updated or edited to the other users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte was implemented across our company. We mapped out local network drives and were able to access Egnyte from the office like a regular shared drive. We are also able to access Egnyte from home (remotely). We basically use the service as our hard drive and as a cloud sharing device. This allowed us to share documents with external clients from the office and from home.
Egnyte helps us securely store all confidential day-to-day information so we don't lose the files. Egnyte enables our organization to offer employees file access and file sharing between employees and business partners, usually from any device and at any time, so colleagues can share files locally and internationally with ease.
I would highly recommend Egnyte.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For remote users and or employees it is a great solution for all to have easy and secure access to shared files. Also nice as a backup option for users personal documents. Might not be a full backup solution but an easy enough way to save documents and files that need to be saved elsewhere in case of a local failure, theft of computer or for disaster recovery.

Egnyte, an excellent safety and simple Cloud storage solution
What do you like best about the product?
The simple and extremely secure access to files which can therefore be shared across your company. Also very important to note is that even if your computer fails or you are in someone else's office without your own computer, you can safely and remotely access any and all files on Egnyte.
What do you dislike about the product?
The elimination of the Desktop sync program, best for small businesses with limited individuals accessing critical corporate data.

Interoperability, security, file storage, simplified data and file sharing... Office 365, many others.
As a former President and CEO of a publicly traded Biotech company and presently a professional consultant and Pres/CEO of my new companies, while I hereby give full permission for Egnyte to contact me directly for additional information, I do not provide the rights for them to use my writing or likeness without appropriate compensation, which I do not believe $10 is in any way sufficient. I've been a user of Egnyte since 2012 and have provided them more than enough free advice. Therefore, I recommend that my substantial experience and knowledge of their company and platform is something of great value and thereby offer my professional services to them, should they be interested.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'm thrilled with the ability to use it on my iPhone as an almost completely stand alone unit including modifying documents, accessing all files, saving, modifying, adding new files, etc.
Good tool for collaboration with cloud capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte is a great tool for sharing files, storing files, granting access to team members on cloud. The best feature about this is limiting data access as per the user access thus having enhanced security access. It does not require any user training and is really just drag and drop and has a good user interface. It also supports mobile version though that may depend on your organisation's settings. It is also slightly cheaper than Dropbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Egnyte is a great tool it does orient towards large enterprise users. For small business this may not be an ideal tool.Also if the user wants to have a free trial before purchasing the product, the time duration is short. Also compared to Sharepoint it does not integrate with other Microsoft tools like Office, Teams for a seamless experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration, File sharing in real time on cloud with data access works best on Egnyte. It can support large file sizes that are not readily available in all the tools.
Egnyte works great for our large collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
As part of a collaboration, our team has used Egnyte since 2013. We have stored all of our workings and completed documents on Egnyte since the partnership started. The site is intuitive, and I found it very easy to find, upload, and download documents. As long as your team uses a sound filing system and standardized nomenclature for all files and documents, then Egnyte is ideal for collaborations or workgroups. It stores a history of each version and you can view each of the versions to see what changes were made. Files can be previewed inside Egnyte without having to download it first and comments can be made on documents without downloading them first.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I disliked so far. My only complaint has nothing to do with Egnyte, it's that we have so many years of files and documents, I often have to figure out where someone stored what I am looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our collaboration has ranged from 10-13 organizations, all of which are active participants. This means we have agreements, proposals, reports, and many other documents to keep in a centralized location that everyone has access to when they need them. After over 7 years of storing documents, Egnyte has never failed us.
