Ventiv IRM is integrated risk management software designed to provide the insights needed to monitor and lower the user's Total Cost of Risk (TCoR). It features real-time analytics for decision support by integrating data from internal and external sources in one system while connecting risk mitigation activities across the business.
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
Ventiv IRM works great for companies with a large number of sources of data, record management, and reporting needs. The system will be able to handle multiple users, processes, or other functions that a large company may need. Ventiv IRM would not be a good fit for companies that may not be large enough to justify the cost of a powerful platform like IRM.
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
Support Portal allows direct access to support tickets, their status, and having programmers/developers reach out directly to me to clarify my requests.
Taking a big project and putting it into smaller, measurable pieces that move the project from beginning to end.
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.
Setting up a new Advance Query report - sometimes I run into glitches
When creating/implementing a match merge, the two claims that are set to merge, need to be typed EXACTLY the same (UPPERCASE & lowercase matching on both, if one is all caps and the other is lowercase, the match merge is not successful)
I do wish there was a way to self-match two claims instead of waiting for the match merge.
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.
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.
Very usable. The team is always suggesting "tweaks" that allow for easier flow, better understanding of the information needed. This even includes in moving categories/sections in a records around so that the flow of the record is better
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.
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.
Support will reach out to me and I LOVE that. Often I want to show them what I see and they have always been willing to jump on a Teams meeting so I can do that. This has also helped me understand how to explain things better (support speak). This has led to closing tickets, completing projects sooner.
The actual implantation was not good. The system is fully customizable so Ventiv was ready to give us what we wanted; however, we never had a system so we didn't fully understand what we wanted. Since then, we hit "reset" and we are steadily moving forward.
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.
While Ventiv IRM is a bit more expensive than another platform we have used and evaluated, we get a lot of value that helps us make informed risk management decisions. The system works for us, and not the other way around. We're able to use integrations from other sources (such as Navex for reporting and our TPA, and Gallagher-Bassett for financial claim information). The system is easy to use, update, and manage, which is helpful too.
