Review of egnyte (The best)
Score 9 out of 10

Egnyte is basically a file exchange platform that is used by our organization at a wide range due to its quality and its features. We are required to exchange our files with clients so it's the best platform where we can exchange our documents. Egnyte is a secure platform and we need security because we share a lot of sensitive documents.
- The interface of Egnyte is very easy and user-friendly anyone can use Egnyte without any problem.
- Security of Egnyte is very high it creates a security code or password to open the particular file
- File exchanging platform is too good.
- Always gives a good updates and user friendly updates.
- Connectivity with internet is slow as per my experience
- Shows some undefined error sometime but it's very rare
- It's takes little bit more time to upload files.

- Easy of Use
- Price
- We have nothing negative to say about Egnyte.

Our whole organization is now using Egnyte, I've been assisting users ever since its implementation into our environment. It does solve a lot of the external access required by third parties and allows our internal access to be convenient from multiple locations.
- 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
- Applying mass permissions to multiple folders is non-existent. If you have 15 folders to manage, you have to individually assign the 15 folders permissions to have specific rights (to not be able to delete the folder and to be able to create subfolders)
- File and folder restoration is only done in increments of 80 items-- per page. That can be 78 files and 2 folders, but those folders don't contain the original items that originally existed within it. Restoring a folder with more than 1000 items is absolutely drudging.
- There isn't an ability to keep files stored on end-user devices as of yet. OS level applications often times have issues when needing to address [the] entire contents of folders. [A] prime example is for file compression.
- There isn't an easy way to back up the information from an end user's machine or transfer contents to a local hard drive. Cloud base solutions are available though.

Complete solution to secure and save the information on cloud without compromising location
Egnyte is helping me a
lot in managing and sharing my information with full security and protection.
Flexible UI with clear dashboard features along with great technical support
which makes it one of the best platforms. I would definitely recommend this
platform to other businesses to have in their workplace to store and ensure the
information.
- It has an amazing feature of collaborating data security, compliance, and threat detection for businesses.
- It has all the amazing features which makes out great platform across the niche.
- It offers great security while sharing information and sharing links, it gives link expiration while sharing the information.
- That link expires after some time and needs a password to access it again which makes me share my files anywhere without the fear of attacking or losing information.
- The main drawback that I am facing while using the Egnyte that [in my experience] it becomes slow while dealing with large files.
- Secondly, it does not have the feature of changing the parent of the folder which sometimes becomes a trouble to assess without the person.
- The system gets slow a lot and it takes hours to upload large files onto the cloud [in my experience] which is the biggest drawback.
Egnyte
is one of the most promising security solutions available in the market. One of
a kind SaaS platform to manage, secure, and gain insights into business content in
all apps. The most promising feature of Egnyte is that there is a secure
sharing option, files can be password protected so that only authorized one can
assess them, additionally it has a link expiration feature which helps to generate
information for the right individual in the given period of time. This feature
helps in making feeling right and confident while sharing files.
- It is very much proficient in sharing files within and outside of the organization.
- The integration is seamless with other available platforms. The desktop app is fast and reliable also the interface is very user-friendly to use.
- Users can download heavy files easily from the system without any lag or system bogging down.
- 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.

Solid and Reliable Solution
Egnyte cloud is [synced] with an on-premise caching server organization-wide that is allowing users and teams to plug into their data through a drive map program or through web-based access. It has integration into MS Office for web-based document editing which fits certain users' purposes. All users have secure access to their data and can update it.
- Drive map tool on Windows and flexibility on client configuration, can change drive letters fairly easily if needed.
- New user setup is straightforward and permissions not too difficult to set up and assign.
- Support has been fairly responsive and helpful with issues as they have come up.
- The on-premise server that syncs with cloud data was a bit challenging to set up.
- Mac installation was challenging and less configurable than Windows.
- A new or redesigned user setup wizard might be more useful than the present setup method.

Excellent, secure, does what you need it to do
Egnyte is currently being used cross department for storing important business and financial files off site. It's a secure FTP that we use to store sensitive data. It gives us the ability to share our important documents with lawyers and bank representatives. Its very simple to navigate and share abilities are extremely nice.
- Easy to use
- Adaptable
- Convenient
- Secure
- Safe
- Fast
- Finding the direct link for photo files sometimes isn't the easiest.

Great for secure sharing.
We use Egnyte as our secure file sharing service across our organization. This is very helpful in sharing secure information, especially IT keys and reports, with our clients, as well as internally. We have even used the option to create a custom URL to allow more continuity for our branding.
- Secure sharing with options to require password and time limits
- Logging of access to shared links
- Ability to allow custom url for links
- Because it is an additional service, it creates added steps for users (compared to sharing in google or Microsoft)
- Without custom URL, some end users are not familiar with Egnyte brand, and can cause confusion

Cost-effective data management and storage with Egnyte
Egnyte offers a cost-effective cloud-based way to manage data without expensive infrastructure. It creates a Z-drive on people's computers and functions just like a local folder structure but with files saved to the cloud. This allows for a fairly reliable system for remote use from home or when travelling. It also serves as the main database for files when working in the office.
- Very easy to install.
- Very simple to use.
- Large storage capacity.
- Uploading large files (over 1GB) remotely can be difficult and causes crashes.
- Likewise moving large files within the folders can cause interruptions in service.
- Not sure what is happening with the creation of back-ups. I have never seen this functionality although it may be happening in the background.

Egnyte is AMAZING!!!
Egnyte is our main file storage across our organization. We are a virtual company and use Egnyte so we are able to share files across our organization just as if we were in the same office working within a server environment. Egnyte solves many problems for our organization and allows us to work effectively daily.

Egnyte Agency Review
Egnyte is being used by our whole organization at my agency. Instead of using something like Dropbox to share links, we use Egnyte links that can be either password-protected or shared with someone who has an agency email address. You can also choose when or if you want the links to expire.
- Ease of use
- Interface
- Quick loading time
- Editable links
- Not getting logged out so often
- Loading speed when not on VPN

Egnyte Sync for Construction Companies
We use Egnyte to store large construction files that we are able to share and collaborate on within our system. We also take advantage of the feature to selectively share individual files without having to separately upload to a cloud based share site. This eliminates the need for additional storage on our server and gives our personnel easy access to files at any location with Internet access.
- Fast file access and retrieval
- Quick uploads and downloads
- Individual file sharing with users outside of our organization
- We had one problem with file syncing that lost several files. Tech support could not retrieve them. This happened early in our usage and only one time.
- We had an issue with Sync at one point, but that was resolved.

Easy to use and great stress-saver
Egnyte is used across the whole company, we use it for all of our filings and try not to store any documents locally. It is used for collaborative work across departments and across offices in different locations. We also make use of the file sharing for external freelancers and sharing documents/folders with clients. Using Egnyte solved issues we were having with using an external hard drive for all of our shared documents, which was often unreliable and difficult to access.
- Easy to use: we had minimal problems implementing this across the company.
- Great for collaborative work: stops issues with version control and has easy sharing.
- Easy sharing outside our organization: avoids issues with large file transfers.
- We often have issues with WebEdit, changes not saving/overwriting
- No functionality to drag and drop files/folders within the UI, can only move things by going through Move > Select location
- When previewing Word files in the browser, tracked changes are not shown so there can be misunderstandings when quickly reviewing documents

Egnyte does the job and a bit more
Egnyte is being used globally across the whole organization. We also use it with freelancers and clients. We needed a file share system that is reliable and can be set up in the cloud and on premises. We're able to share documents and more across the organization and with clients. We can also restore deleted files, track changes, etc. We have gotten the power as admins to control what ever happens to our material. There are different options with sharing files using Egnyte in the browser. You can use it as an application, network drive, etc., so all end users have an option to work with their preference.
- Sharing options within the organization and outside.
- Structure of permissions.
- User management.
- Options for using Egnyte (drive, browser, etc.).
- Collaborating in docs.
- Collaboration in documents within the Office applications would be nice. Now it's only in browser mode.
- Default link names option when sharing files.
- Desktop sync should be able to tell when there's not enough disk space.
- Support could be more attentive.

Awesome, secure share app
Egnyte is being used by every department in our organization. It is used for sharing and collecting database files from our customers, which contain sensitive PHI about patients from many different hospitals.
- Sharing a link for upload.
- Downloading using a password.
- Customizing the link with security options.
- Automatic deletion policy would be nice.

Egnyte is a no-frills top-notch storage solution
Our organization currently utilizes Egnyte organization-wide. Prior to implementing Egnyte for our digital storage needs, we were very unorganized which really creating some challenges in getting things done quickly. Once we got our internal processes down, Egnyte was a huge win for us. Today, each department has organized "files" to place relevant content. For a project management standpoint, I can't even imagine doing my job effectively without Egnyte.
- Ease of use- once things are clearly labeled Egnyte is simple to learn and use.
- Pricing- In our case, Egnyte was very fairly priced.
- Functionality- Egnyte is a no-frills, as advertised, option for all digital storage needs.
- Egnyte may be overdue for a face-lift. The User Interface is a little dated. Not a deal breaker by any means, though.
- Customer support- Fortunately, we haven't needed much help. I have heard from people at other businesses complain about their lack of support before.

My company has been using Egnyte for the past 10 years or so, but I've only been using it for 4 years since I've been with the company. Everyone here uses Egnyte in a different way. In my case, since we cannot deposit our own software into Arena because the files are too big, we use Egnyte and tie the link to Arena, which works out perfect for us.
- Egnyte can be used in many different ways depending on what are you using it for. I use Egnyte for one purpose only: if the files are too big to deposit into Arena PLM System, I will have them linked instead.
- I do know some of my colleagues are using Egnyte to upload files and share them with other Egnyte users; it seems like everyone here who uses Egnyte is happy with the software.
- Not a problem with Egnyte, but when using it with Arena, Arena will only allow a certain capacity on files, and also when you have a big file upload in Arena, it will take a long time to download.
- Another problem that is not Egnyte's, but when using with Arena, I wish Arena could be made to handle bigger files and faster downloads.

Egnyte for asset and file management
Egnyte is being used across the whole organization for file sharing and content management. Specifically, creative and development teams use it to transfer assets. The account team also uses Egnyte to share files outside of the organization with external clients and vendors. Egynte is also used for manage asset version and maintain version control.
- Asset sharing across organization departments.
- Asset sharing externally (through secure links and expirations dates and access tracking).
- Asset and content version management.
- Managing sharing links and corresponding details is not intuitive.
- No ability to collaborate and save documents.
- No historical view of document viewing and download history.

Egnyte for Document Storage
Egnyte is used across multiple departments to share documents within departments and across multiple other departments. We use Egnyte to store documents in folders and limit access to only those who should see or have access. We also use the Web Edit feature to update documents in real time and keep them the most up to date.
- Web Edit function works really well to edit documents in real time and have them live.
- System access, the ability to share folders with only certain members or groups for safety.
- The ability to keep many different types of documents (Word, Excel, etc) in one location.
- When you are doing web edits to a document it locks other users out of the document for an undisclosed amount of time. If it is a frequently accessed document this can cause problems.

Cloud Base system that works well.
Egnyte is used by my organization to store all the companies used files on the cloud system. Once any employee logs into his or her Egynte, you can access loads of information pertaining to specific tasks. One can search across folders to lookup documents that might not be available in his or her department as you access other folders available to your view. Egnyte is also designed to meet each users need. Documents can be easily sorted into different folders for ease of accessing. Also, you have your personalized folders where you can backup files from your computer or just upload files. The good thing about the personalized folder is no other person can access this aside from yourself or the administrator.
Egnyte is being used by the different departments across our organization, including operations, finance, and recruitment.
Egnyte helps us store all confidential and 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.

- Egnyte Cloud system offers a good means to transfer and share large files of any size. This eliminates the process of sending such files via email as attachments and the long time it takes to find them in emails. It is really brilliant as you can readily download files of any size and upload them directly from your own account.
- Egnyte has folders for both shared use and private use. The shared folders have a Parent folder and other sub folders for easy compilation.
- The Egnyte cloud enables users to use Egnyte desktop versions accessed directly on one's computer, enabling us work directly.
- Sometimes files take forever to upload and could hang up the system.
- For the Egnyte we use now in our organization, you can't use it offline which can be sometimes annoying if you don't have data. I understand that there has been some improvement to this.
- If file is also too large, it can stop working and you need to refresh.

Egnyte is a superior file-sharing cloud-based server option.
We use Egnyte as our primary file system company-wide, eliminating the need for a traditional "server" and large data management systems that are contained in-house. Our team travels a lot, and with the cloud-based nature of Egnyte, we can all be connected to our file system everywhere we go. This makes work travel simplistic, and working from home is a cinch because all our files are everywhere that our computers are.
- One of Egnyte's features that we use quite frequently is file sharing to individuals outside of our company - whether we're sharing documents with prospects, potential buyers, or clients, it's as easy as sending a link to share a file, or creating a guest profile for them to sign in if they need to upload documents to us.
- Desktop sync is a feature in Egnyte that we could not live without! The continuous sync means that our systems always have the latest version of every document that's worked on almost instantaneously.
- Password protected file sharing is a must - we are a business brokerage firm and so client confidentiality is one of our highest priorities. Having the ability to put our files behind a password-protected link for viewing and downloading has helped us immensely.
- Egnyte's web edit functionality could be built out a bit more. We never use this service in our office, and while I believe that it's because we simply use the desktop sync tool and have everything available locally with immediate follow-up syncing, the functionality does seem slightly less than intuitive, but still wholly usable.
- Honestly... I have a difficult time thinking of any other shortcomings that the platform has.

Easy to use!
We all worked remotely so Egnyte allowed us to share files seamlessly. We used it to be able to communicate as if we were in the same office. It allowed us to automatically back up files and saved us from computer crashes. It was able to be used form any computer and easy for most users to set up and incorporate into daily habits.
- Allows different types of documents to be stored and accessed without issues
- Saves drafts in stages
- Allows access to both current and former employee files
- Easy to use - administrator access controls who has access to what
- Customer service is clunky and difficult to actually get help for existing users - sales team is great though
- Occasional crashes and compatibility issues
- Does not support Linux

Egnyte - easy to use!
All members of my team at BCI use Egnyte. It holds all our events on file that we can all easily access. We travel a lot for business and Egnyte makes it easy to bring up files on our phones/laptops/iPads, etc. It holds an infinite amount of files and syncs fast.
- Syncs fast so others can open updated files
- Holds a ton of storage
- Easy to access from all types of devices
- Two people cannot be in the same file - if I open a file that a colleague is in and begin work it will save (2) copies
- Sometimes the syncing freezing makes me have to restart my computer
- It can be hard to access on an iPhone, bigger screens work best

Cloud Storage the Easy Way
We use Egnyte as a company-wide storage solution. Since we also use Salesforce as our CRM platform, Egnyte's seamless integration with our sales pipeline was a major selling point. With Egnyte we are able to add, delete, move, or reference files that are related to specific cases on the fly without having to visit a separate URL or standalone software. Currently, every new user gets an Egnyte license when they sign on.
- Salesforce integration is seamless and extremely beginner friendly.
- Egnyte goes through all of the proper measures to be fully compliant in an extremely tight regulatory industry.
- Affordability is a major factor when you are buying licenses for a ton of employees, Egnyte checks this box.
- Egnyte occasionally desyncs with Salesforce without warning, when it does it requires a convoluted series of steps to troubleshoot. It's easy after the first time, but it can be a major issue when your pipeline is built around the integration.
- Egnyte support is all offshore in my experience, they rarely match up with you time wise and typically skip straight to screen sharing to troubleshoot. Many users aren't comfortable screen sharing as a first resort.
- The browser-based Egnyte solution is sluggish and has some UI quirks that turn most of the users off in the office.

Egnyte is Perfect for our Style of Business
Egnyte is being used by our organization in multiple ways. We use is primarily as a storage center for information in relation to everything from business function and process, to case management and third party review of confidential files. On any given day it is being used seamlessly on roughly 20 computers where people are actively searching for, editing, reviewing, and sharing documents all at the exact same time. It has really changed the way that I understand a business to successfully manage big data.
- Sharing files safely and securely with people at different facilities. It allows for ease of communication without having to limit security potential to do so.
- Fast updating - within seconds I can drop a file in to a shared Egnyte folder and it be readily available on someone else's computer in the office. This is great for conference calls, it allows all parties to quickly access and review the same material.
- Salesforce integration - it has been phenomenal seeing how seamlessly Egnyte and Salesforce integrate. To allow these tow systems to ebb and flow so well together saves countless hours of work in our everyday.
- Workshops - a lot of people in our field have experienced a learning curve when implementing Egnyte. I think good workshops online would be excellent tools to allow them to reach Egnyte's full potential
- Breaking links - If I share a confidential file, it would be excellent to easily re-access that link that was sent to that file and break that link (force it to no longer work). As it stands that often has to be done universally, and so one wrong move on our side has the potential to be catastrophic. There may be a way that I don't know about, but I think that points back to the idea of workshops
- Varying user access - it would be nice to allow users to edit and delete only in certain parts of Egnyte, rather than giving them administrative access across the board.
