Overall Satisfaction with Egnyte

We use Egnyte for file sharing between departments. Anyone in the organization dealing with someone that they may not directly work with is able to share files through Egnyte in a quick and easy to use format. This solves communication issues within the company and also helps with security, as it keeps the files safe and away from the wrong eyes.
  • 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
  • It's an affordable way to share information, so definitely saves money compared to competitors.
  • Saves time, which clearly saves money when dealing with Human Capital
The biggest competitor and leader in this space is Dropbox. Egnyte beats Dropbox when it comes to ease of use and its inviting interface. However, Dropbox has the obvious advantage in reliability, which comes with the scale of that company. Ultimately, the security of Egnyte provides my company with more peace of mind, which is important when dealing with so much data about users. That has to be the main reason why we made the switch.
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.
