Egnyte

Vorteile

I really appreciate the way Egnyte naturally integrated into our existing business. It calculated the items we had to store and kept them in an impressive bow. The interface is very clean and distinguishable. The features all stand out in their own presence. But the one factor that really earned my loyalty to the software was the storage performance. Egnyte is the powerhouse of online file hosting. It has the durability to carry highly dense files and load them in a concise, quick manner.

Nachteile

Aside from not knowing of this software sooner, I do hope that Egnyte will create the opportunity for collaborative sharing through external mail hosts (email to be specific). Otherwise, I hold the software in high regards.

Vorteile

The governance and security architecture.Running on Egnyt's own data centres.Nothing ever gets lost.Search filters are accurate.Search within files.Desktop product is comfortable for users.Intrusion control is easy to configure.Archiving policies aligned with GDPR.The desktop agent is auto-updating.Support is excellent and fast whatever time of the day.The NAS (smart cache) hybrid product is easy to run and very stable running on a version of Linux.

Nachteile

With the clunky implementation of co-editing Microsoft Office files, users find it hard to get used to compared with OneDrive.The local file editor tool WebEdit is not auto-updating.

Vorteile

No desktop footprint! This is a big win when dealing with distributed workers with laptops. Everyone has full access to files they are allowed, and they take no space (until they are accessed).

I also love the ability to fine-tune permissions at the sub-folder level.

Nachteile

Permissions are the hardest thing for some users to get the hang of. In Egnyte, they aren't difficult, but some users have difficulty managing the permissions on the website, since they only use the folders on their desktop (sync'd).

Vorteile

Ease of Use and price point are the main features we prefer

Nachteile

We have had no issues therefore no dislikes for any reason

Vorteile

Our Team heavily relies on Egnyte services. This is where we store all of our updated information that everyone on the team has access to. The thing that I like most about Egnyte, is the sense of security it offers. I take comfort in the fact that all of our company information is in a safe place that only team members can access.

Nachteile

I think one thing Egnyte can work on, is the navigation between different folders. It would be convenient if there was a way to switch over quickly to a new folder, without having to navigate to the home screen. Other than that I have no issues, Egnyte is a great tool for our company.

Vorteile

Egnyte does a great job for online secure document storage. With tight hierarchal permissions, it's a great option for remote companies who don't have local offices to secure sensitive documents. It's easy to set up and manage.

Nachteile

On occasion I find it can be slow to load.

Vorteile

Egnyte is a super cloud solution that have a nice folder structure with a really manageable permission scheme. It's easy to share files - internally and externally. I really appreciate the option for changing url when sharing files. I can also backtrack all my shared links and I can see who have accessed it when. The applications also do the job.

Nachteile

The application have required manually installed updates. I think they might have solved this now. The reports option should maybe have some more options and flexibility.

Vorteile

Remote access to work server files make working on the go a breeze. I can access anything from anywhere so that I can have all the information I need even when on client meetings.

Nachteile

It can get a little getting used to at first. You no longer will store files on your desktop or folders but rather within a folder in Egnyte.

Vorteile

There are a lot of great features including authentication, sync with 3rd party NAS devices, easy sharing.

Nachteile

I would say we found it too expensive for ourselves. Maybe we didn't used all of the functions that Egnyte allows.

Vorteile

Simple settings and plugins.Cloud Data synchronisation and large file sharing.Visual edition.Cloud Data storage and maximum encryption.

Nachteile

If I were to reward cloud Data management vendors, I would undoubtedly reward egnyte.

Vorteile

This software ends with the big file sharing issues by storing all your work files in the cloud.
This comes with the benefit of keeping your computer clean and light.
Also, sharing files among coworkers is made easy by using short links. You can specify the type of permissions you want for a given folder so that you can make it available only to a particular group of people, for example. This is useful when sensitive content is being shared.
Another great functionality, if you work with vendors, is you can provide them with a link that will just allow them to drop files while they won't be able to see or modify its contents.

Nachteile

- While having everything in the cloud is great you need to account for time spent downloading and uploading content, which can be a lot depending on your Internet connection.

Vorteile

Very robust software for storing documents in the cloud. Allows everyone to access latest versions. Favorite aspect is the ability to share files and be notified when and where they are opened from. It's also nice to have version history for files. Lastly, having desktop file access makes using very seamless. It's just like using your regular (C:) drive.

Nachteile

Sharing capability has to be done through the online site. It would be nice to be able to get a sharing link straight from the desktop file system.

Vorteile

Great software and portal for file and file-sharing. I have the option to use Egnyte in my browser, as a drive on my PC or as automatic desktop backup. All options can also work together. The structure of files can be made as you like and the sharing options are great. You can edit files in your browser or open and edit in your desktop client. The sharing options are great and you can customize what people should be able to see or do. Clients can get access to specific folders etc.

Nachteile

It takes some time to learn how to use it due to the many options. I think it is a learning curve that's worth using time on. Egnyte cannot handle large files which is annoying as a designer. Inherited permissions can become a bit of a mess and there's not really any easy way to make it better. Reporting could also be improved.

Vorteile

I use the previous version functionality once in awhile, but when I need it, it's invaluable! Also, I like the notifications on folder changes to keep me up to date without checking in.

Nachteile

I don't have a ton of cons to add, but I will say not all filetypes preview, but most do. The only thing we've had issues with is the desktop sync, but it wasn't anything major and was quickly addressed by the support team.

Vorteile

Better than Dropbox, more secure than Box.

Nachteile

The mobile app sometimes experienced glitches and sync issues. And the desktop app doesn’t have a good offline mode in case of lost connectivity.

Vorteile

We use Egnyte as our file repository and cloud storage platform. The new feature that allows co editing is the one I like the most. While allowing us to use MS native apps and not use Google for simultaneous collaboration, I think it is a wonderful tool. It also syncs well with Mac and Windows folders allowing access on computer directly than having to go to web each time it needs to be accessed.

Nachteile

The collaboration feature edits sometimes are delayed not giving the live and current updates being made by other parties.

Vorteile

I love that I can access documents I need anywhere -- we moved from an onsite server that required a VPN to access off-site and which was slow and not very useful, to Egnyte which allows my to grab documents from my phone and is so much more efficient.

Nachteile

Sorting documents is a bit lacking sometimes when I want to simply search for the most recent document of any file time within a number of subfolders. There is no real good way to do this at this time.

Vorteile

Secure, fast and reliable cloud. You can use it for sharing a lot of files and keeping the most important ones so other can access.

Nachteile

Sometimes the cloud is creating a second copy of the files which leads to a missunderstanding.

Vorteile

System is easy to navigate. I'm able to create new folders, assign permissions and distribute to my team seamlessly.

Nachteile

One or two features require a couple extra steps to get to that differ from standard Windows OS. Other than that it operates very well, even better most times, than other cloud-based file sharing.

Vorteile

Intuitive user-friendly interface, packed with useful features like version history, online editing via MS Office

Nachteile

Two factor authentication is wobbly sometimes

Vorteile

It performed well for what it did. Simple and easy to use.

Nachteile

It seems to me that it only performed one niche thing, and that there are other or should be other softwares that does what Egnyte does while also doing other things as well.

Vorteile

With a simple Powershell/Shell script, I was able to back up my entire computer to egnyte.

Nachteile

You cannot select the folders you wish to backup, and instead must rely on a script.

Vorteile

Egnyte is an easy to use file sharing software. It is easy to navigate and set up files. Click to share with other users is a piece of cake.

Nachteile

I see no flaws in using the software. So far - so good

Vorteile

Easiest and most reliable to share graphic heavy presentations or high resolution videos in a virtual meeting. Reliable.

Nachteile

If you are using it to upload files, there could be a lag of half an hour before recipient can view file.

Vorteile

If you need a secure cloud storage service this is for you. I like the web interface because it looks modern and simple to use.

Nachteile

There is no Linux support (no desktop client app available).

Vorteile

Egnyte has been a great backup solution.

Nachteile

I don;t really have anything bad to say about egnyte.
