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.
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.
