Egnyte vs. bTrade TDXchange

Egynte is best suited for companies that SharePoint is not the best fit for. This includes managers unfamiliar with SharePoint specifically, and those really looking for a replacement for a file server in the more traditional Windows sense. SharePoint has more or less done away with any management that resembles Active Directory or File Explorer. Egnyte's web portal is incredibly straightforward. I would say Egnyte is less suited for companies that have licensing access to SharePoint already and do not have a ton of files or granular sharing and security needs

It's a great product, works very well. Very reliable, secure and easy to use. We're not a large company and don't have big IT staff so the product is very good for companies like ours. Also bTrade support are great! They really help us whenever we have issues or need some additional information.

• Sharing files externally with passwords, link expiration and granular control of permissions
• File syncing across end-user devices using a client installed onto the computer for seamless integration for end-users as if they had mapped a drive directly to their machine
• Implements 2FA for secure access

• Reporting
• Auditing
• Ease of use and onboarding
• Stability
• Cost Reduction for hardware requirements

• The main drawback of the system that it is lacking in managing the uploading of large or huge files, even though the large files can be easily downloadable but the upload takes a lot of time.
• While uploading the system sometimes starts lagging and the file after sometimes needs to upload again.
• Egnyte is lacking in syncing multiple platforms at the same time. It gives access to one platform at a time which somehow hinders the work while migrating a large amount of data.

• The product performs flawlessly and meets all our expectations.

We found that usage of Egnyte in our supported clients, with sufficient bandwidth, provided all the features and stability we required. The billing setup was fair and the support provided was ample for end users and well as our in house admins. There was a concern about high usage clients but this was taken into account during the vetting process.

Great product and great support and they listen to our feedback on the features!

Really easy to use the interface. The web browser is very intuitive and I have not had any notable issues with this. It's easy to work on documents as a team, and the only issues we have to tend to come with Apple apps and downloading large files to WebEdit. It's very similar to the filing systems that come on Apple and Windows devices so not a steep learning curve.

The bTrade TDXchange User Interface is great! It is very intuitive, and easy to navigate. The reporting capabilities are truly invaluable.

Never crashed on us or had issue but that's no surprise, it's used by many companies over the years and bugs were fixed before we got the product.

Egnyte works very well across all platforms and as an add-on to other programs. Load time is close to nothing. Reports can be made in no time as well. All in all no performance issues. We can see that it depends on the local network connection. If you're running with fiber there won't be any issues.

bTrade TDXchange is very fast and no impact to our other systems.

I never had to reach out to customer support for Egnyte. I don't know any coworkers who have had to reach out to Egnyte for support either. As far as I am concerned, the support team is doing a good job since I have not had to reach out to them.

We have only had to engage bTrade TDXchange’s technical support team a few times, but it has always been a great experience. They are U.S. based and very responsive. We even provided feedback shortly after implementation and they put our recommendation into the next release (or the one after that…I forget exactly).

It literally took a few minutes to install bTrade TDXchange and then with bTrade's documentation we were able to do all the initial setup in under an hour.

At the time when this was implemented (over 5 years ago and still in production), there were issues with syncing and reliability that Egnyte did not have, and have continued to impress with. Other providers have improved a lot and Egnyte is fairly costly, but switching costs would be high to move away from it to similar solutions.

We chose bTrade TDXchange over MoveIT for its superior security features, seamless integration capabilities, and user-friendly interface

So far we only have one instance in Prod and one in DR, however a single instance can handle many files because of it's good design.

• Allows us to easily communicate important data securely with other offices (not just sending via email)
• It allows everyone in our office to be working on the same information at the same time
• It meshes so well with salesforce that I can't really picture what our practice would look like if we didn't have the combination.

• bTrade TDXchange enabled us to develop and manage a cost-effective solution for our logistics client, efficiently handling worldwide shipments.
