A Sharepoint Replacement That Feels Like Windows Should
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- Microsoft SharePoint, Google Workspace and Box
Egnyte syncs with Windows machines better than any competitor I have come across. The service focuses on just this platform and their in depth focus shows in the end result. Google is not really made with Windows in mind. Box is cumbersome and the web portal is not easy to use. SharePoint sync to PC is terrible.

Egnyte - Secure, Robust, and Intuitive
Egnyte provided Quarem the most robust and secure environment. Additionally, Egynte makes organizing the files very simple, saving my team time and money.

Complete solution to secure and save the information on cloud without compromising location
I have also tried Azure Backup but Egnyte has more smart features than this. As I am using their
platform for some time so when I get stuck anywhere I just contact their
representatives and they respond on time. Listen to queries very carefully.
Provide a solution on the go if available otherwise provide the best solution in
the limited time frame.
It is a better cloud storage platform than other tools. The
technical staff is the most fantastic thing about Egnyte. They are always
available for any kind of help at any time. They assess the problem critically and
provide a completely workable solution in a limited time to have the best
working experience for users on their platform.

Solid and Reliable Solution
- Box, OneDrive and Citrix ShareFile
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.

Great for secure sharing.
Egnyte provided a secure and reliable platform for our specific need [for] secure file sharing. We do not rely on Egnyte for syncing files or for a corporate internal file share, which is how we use Google Drive. But, we are pleased with the customizations and tracking of shares that are present and used in Egnyte. This was the reason for our decision.

Cost-effective data management and storage with Egnyte
I have used DropBox a lot in the past which is similar but not as well suited to handling large amounts of data and is more complicated to use.

Egnyte is AMAZING!!!
We also looked at Dropbox and a few others, and we found that Egnyte was (at the time) the ONLY HIPPA and Part 11 compliant software on the market. We loved the security features in Egnyte and felt safe trusting our data to such an innovative and reputable company. We are happy daily that we made the decision we did.

Egnyte Agency Review
- Dropbox and Google Drive
I think that Egnyte is a good tool especially when you need to share files within the same company or organization. I think that the layout is much better and updated than Dropbox. The downside to Egnyte is that you cannot edit files within the tool like you can do for Google, Sharepoint, etc.
April 10, 2019
Egnyte does the job and a bit more
Egnyte has a much easier management console and it's easier to share files and create a directory of files etc. The overview is more simplified. OneDrive, however, has the option to collaborate in documents in the application itself. But Egnyte should have this feature in the pipeline and it should be something we can see in the future.

Egnyte is a no-frills top-notch storage solution
Egnyte's storage capacity was well beyond the capabilities of Dropbox at our budget. Plus, at the time (nearly five years ago) Dropbox was a little quirky when it came to uploading files. OneDrive was a good fit but it presented challenges when working with users that did not use outlook for email. That may have been since remedied, but we are too happy with Egnyte to find out.

Egnyte for asset and file management
Egynte does not allow for file collaboration when compared to Google Drive. Egynte is a better option for compliant and secure file and asset management. Also for when taking version control into consideration. When organizations are collaborating with external organiations that are not using Google Suite due to organization firewalls, Egynte is a better option.

Egnyte for Document Storage
December 15, 2017
Egnyte is a superior file-sharing cloud-based server option.
- Dropbox and Box
Egnyte is more user-friendly than both Dropbox and Box, and has more functionality to match. The user management is simple with Egnyte, and the storage limits are enormous - we'll never be concerned about running out of room. Egnyte's device management is also an essential part of our functionality, as we occasionally need to remove access to different devices, etc.

Easy to use!
- Google Docs
Egnyte is easier to use and doesn't have as many glitches. It's pretty seamless to edit something and it saves multiple copies of a draft. It's easier and cleaner to search, set up admin rights and you can set it up to store automatically. I had some major issues with Google Docs and just really liked Egnyte better.

Egnyte - easy to use!
I did not select Egnyte - my company used it when I started to work here. I don't have another program to compare to but we all have been very happy with the system. We plan to use it for as long as possible. It is super easy to use and we love that it has the ability to open anywhere.

Cloud Storage the Easy Way
- Google Drive and Dropbox
Egnyte has significantly more structure out of the box than Google Drive or Dropbox. While Google Drive is much cheaper, and Dropbox has more potential in the right hands; Egnyte just works immediately in an enterprise situation. There are other enterprise level solutions, like Box, that serve a similar goal, but Egnyte was the one we found to be the easiest to use.

Egnyte is Perfect for our Style of Business
Dropbox is just the main competitor of Egnyte that we have used and have ample experience with, among many others. Egnyte however blows Dropbox out of the water in ease of use, style, functionality, and cyber security from my experience. Egnyte has been nothing short of excellent in our every day business process, and even though I realize that it is not perfect for every business or style of business, I can't help but to be amazed by the substantial positive impact it has in our every day.

Data analysis in the 21st century.
None of these other solutions had document tracking or search features that could even hold a candle to Egnyte. Out of all of them box had the best, then we tried Egnyte and it blew then all out of the water.
The amount of time we saved on minor tasks was more than enough to convince us to use Egnyte.

Egnyte Your Security
- Dropbox and Box
The biggest competitor and leader in this space is Dropbox. Egnyte beats Dropbox when it comes to ease of use and its inviting interface. However, Dropbox has the obvious advantage in reliability, which comes with the scale of that company. Ultimately, the security of Egnyte provides my company with more peace of mind, which is important when dealing with so much data about users. That has to be the main reason why we made the switch.

Work Smarter, Not Harder, To Manage Your Files
- Dropbox for Business
Dropbox is really simple, and you can share files. But users cannot manage who sees files as well as Egnyte does. In Egnyte, you can allow users to have full access and down to view only access. You can also give links to non-users so they can just view the files. Dropbox makes someone actually sign in and see the files. Dropbox is too complicated for what Egnyte makes simple.
