  • This has saved us tons over services like ShareFile and Dropbox and has provided ease of use for the end-users.
  • Administering users Egnyte has been pretty simple and easy, reducing some time spent. Unfortunately, the additional time spent setting permissions within folder templates loses all-time benefits and ultimately [in my experience] can cause wrist-related issues if done in bulk and needing to be done on a deadline.

  • The promising advantage of Egnyte is that user can access their files from the cloud anywhere without any cumbrance like connecting to VPN or other third-party soft wares.
  • No risk of data loss.
  • The platform is lacking in changing the parent administrator of a folder as if one person is the administrator of the file or folder and when needs to change it becomes clunky and does not supports it properly.
