Overall Satisfaction with Egnyte
We are currently using Egnyte as our company wide file server/storage platform. Since our users are all remote this solves the need to house a server and VPN appliance to store our shared documents and files.
- 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.
- Cost savings of having dedicated servers, VPN appliances and internet ISP that otherwise would be required.
