Egnyte is Perfect for our Style of Business
- 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.

Egnyte Your Security
- Security. You need a password to access each Egnyte folder, which helps keeps files private.
- Speed. The files are essentially viewable the moment they are uploaded by the opposite party.
- Ease of Use. The layout of the folders is easy on the eyes, and it's simple to find what you're looking for.
- There have been some technical issues that bigger companies may not experience
- Customer support is lacking

Work Smarter, Not Harder, To Manage Your Files
- Egnyte gives multiple access points to your files. There is software for local NAS devices. And there is WebDAV access to the cloud as well.
- Egnyte is permissions based. So users can be given access to certain folders, but be only given access to select files within that folder. It can be as complicated or simple as you want.
- Egnyte gives you the option to pay specifically for Crypto-virus coverage. If your files were ever infected, they guarantee a backup.
- There are some points within the web UI that randomly don't function properly. Users can give links to folders and files in the web UI. Sometimes the links randomly expire when they shouldn't.
- Sometimes tech support is not sure why things happen. I've had an open case that is currently 4 weeks old. They just cannot figure out the issue. Luckily it doesn't stop us from working.

Egnyte- A great cloud storage/remote file server option!
- Explorer style UI makes it easy for end users to access,upload,download and edit files.
- The WebEdit feature is especially useful as it allows for a document (Word,Excel, etc) to be edited right from the webUI and locks it automatically to prevent multiple users from editing at the same time.
- Another useful feature is the comments area for a particular file. It allows for collaboration on a document and a notification option that the file was updated or edited to the other users.
- File versioning is nice in that it keeps several versions of files to go back to if needed. It would be a nice addition to have the option to simply merge the changes into the existing file rather than creating a separate copy of the file.

Egnyte Review
- The key strengths (especially for a business structure like ours) was the ease of file sharing
- Compatibility with programs
- Ease of use, after using it for a week when I first started - it was very simple to learn.
- I think that the design aspect of Egnyte could be improved, granted I haven't used it in a while, but when I used it - the design/portal was a little archaic - it could probably use a face-lift.
