Egnyte is excellent in almost every scenario. It's great when your position requires quickly and safely sharing documents with multiple parties, or if you work in a place that requires a heavy amount of data storage that is easily accessible. I don't know how practical Egnyte is for the small business with only a few documents, but with a company our size that has tons of documents, it is an excellent place to neatly and succinctly keep that data organized.

Really well suited for sharing binary files and instructions on how to use them. It also works really well at providing a centralized repository for wiki information.
Doesn't work very well when trying to analyze sales data from a week or less, that's often better done by hand.

Egnyte is ideal for sharing files to a group of co-workers all at once, while also maintaining a strong sense of privacy and security. It allows anyone with the proper information to access the files being shared. It's also quick and helpful when dealing with rapidly approaching deadlines. I don't think it's ideal for sharing information with outsiders, as this could lead to security concerns.

Egnyte is definitely one of the best, if not the best, interface I've ever used for transferring files between devices and/ or persons. I think the best personal story I have using Egnyte is the time when my laptop was on the fritz/crashing. I was panicked, and IT didn't think they would be able to restore my laptop. I ended up uploading my entire computer's worth of data and documents to Egnyte! After that was done, I logged into my new device and, voilà, all of my personal and work data and docs were right there for me to download.

Egnyte is really suited for companies that have a large file structure with lots of files. This is a great option, rather than housing your own server. A smaller company that doesn't have much a file structure might find use with Egnyte, but it might not be cost effective. It's not the cheapest product, but there are some great features and are worth it.

For remote users and or employees it is a great solution for all to have easy and secure access to shared files. Also nice as a backup option for a users personal documents. Granted it's not a full-on backup solution but an easy enough way to save documents and files that need to be saved elsewhere in case of a local failure.
