My small company has had close to zero issues using Egnyte in the 2 year we've had it.
What do you like best about the product?
I can work from home more easily and the files open and save quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really comes to mind here aside from the implementation taking a little longer than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote work is far easier, as we do not need to do remote desktop now.
Reliable Cloud file server designed and for businesses!
What do you like best about the product?
Almost full admin customization for example allow/restrict syncing of data to local disks, easy resource assignment, reporting, and 3rd party integration. Their help community and documentation is also really current and helpful. If support tickets are submitted they respond usually less than an hour and are willing to call (no endless email cat-mouse games)
What do you dislike about the product?
Upload/download speeds via internet for large files have received complaints..especially (actually only) from the marketing team's. However, Egnyte offers a local server solution to cache selected folders in local LAN.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte fixed our problems by centralizing multiple cloud storage tenants (dropbox, zoho workdrive, onedrive, WeTransfer..)and simplifying administration and employee on-boarding.
Egnyte is efficient and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte has the option of either using a web interface or an app on your desktop that fits right in to file explorer, so saving things is just as intuitive as it ever was. Egnyte is very user-friendly. Most people in our company barely even noticed a difference between our old shared drives in Microsoft to our new Egnyte account. We are also getting file storage that is FINRA compliant, and they made it easy to have two separate domains (one for our Broker Dealer and one for our RIA). The two domains are both housed in the same account, so it keeps our data separate, but still together. With the Business package that we have, we can even run audits on who accessed files, when, what they did, etc. as well as running audits on when/how permissions were changed and such.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that I don't like about it, but I guess it took a little while to understand the mechanics of permissions. We also had a bit of a misunderstanding at first and were set up with the wrong type of account. We needed FINRA compliant, and were under the impression any kind of Egnyte storage is FINRA compliant, but only the Business plan is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have FINRA compliant storage, are able to synch files pretty easily across our entire network, and no longer need to use a VPN to get to our files when working from home.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you review the specific plans to pick which one is best for your organization. We also had our tech company do the migration of data, so I can't speak to whether that would be easy for someone that is not in IT, but our IT team thought it was a breeze from their point of view. Our Egnyte rep seemed a little hurried to get us to sign on, even though we reassured him we were going to, and I think that's how we ended up with the wrong business plan from the beginning. My advice would be to ask a lot of questions from the beginning to have a clear understanding of the differences in plan types.
Easy to use, especially now.
What do you like best about the product?
Makes it easy to keep up with the office.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes hard to figure out where files are saved on my personal computer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier manage versions of products and share documents
Egnyte services for online access
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte makes it easy to access our server and programs from offsite allowing easy work at home.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a cloud based service there can be small lags when accessing files
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy access to our stored files. Can be accessed from anywhere.
Egnyte for File Sharing and Cloud Storage
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte is simple to use, secure, and can be used inside and outside of our organization with ease. Folders can be created quickly and shared, and are able to be private or collaborative. Egnyte also shows who submitted the file or photo. You can also easily bookmark folders for retrieval later.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the shared file names were able to be displayed longer (in character count) on the main screen. Other than that, no dislikes at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to have employees easily add photos and information when we put out a call for employee photos. We are also able to use Egnyte with our dealmakers — it's a central repository for them to see approved marketing materials that they can then download and share.
Ease of use and security features.
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte is easy to use and has both desktop interface which is seamless and online access for total remote access.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any dislike for the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a remote workforce, all staff has access to files that they need. Also, sharing securely with others outside the organization has been of immense help.
Excellent File Sharing Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte is super easy to use. No tutorials or training needed for basic use. It's very intuitive file sharing for us internally and with our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't seen many enhancements added over the several years using it. It would be nice to see some expanded features over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Egnyte to share and organize files internally and share files with clients. It's great to have an intuitive way to set permissions based on whether we're sharing a folder with client/contractor/employee etc.
Simple and useful tool! Couldn't live without it.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to use. Helps me in my day to day communications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the option of only being able to share a folder with a password is limiting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes file sharing easy.
egnyte is quick, professional, and a lifesaver!
What do you like best about the product?
egnyte enables me to quickly and securely share files with both internal and external partners
What do you dislike about the product?
it would be very helpful if collaboration (ie, more people could add to a folder) was easier
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
files that are too large to send via email can be sent quickly and securely with egnyte. this helps keep cross functional communication efficient and secure
Recommendations to others considering the product:
i would definitely recommend egnyte more than using Wetransfer, google drive, and similar products. egnyte is, in my opinion, easier to navigate and less glitchy. it also seems to have a higher success rate of use across internal and external partners, which is helpful because in my industry/role especially, we liaise with numerous external partners on a daily basis and need a good way to share files.
