Overall Satisfaction with Egnyte
Egnyte offers a cost-effective cloud-based way to manage data without expensive infrastructure. It creates a Z-drive on people's computers and functions just like a local folder structure but with files saved to the cloud. This allows for a fairly reliable system for remote use from home or when travelling. It also serves as the main database for files when working in the office.
- Very easy to install.
- Very simple to use.
- Large storage capacity.
- Uploading large files (over 1GB) remotely can be difficult and causes crashes.
- Likewise moving large files within the folders can cause interruptions in service.
- Not sure what is happening with the creation of back-ups. I have never seen this functionality although it may be happening in the background.
- Not having to install significant IT infrastructure is a real positive.
- Rapid remote access to data helps business operations significantly.
- Not having to hire in-house IT people to manage infrastructure is a significant cost saving.
- Security is a concern as data could be accessed with just a password.
I have used DropBox a lot in the past which is similar but not as well suited to handling large amounts of data and is more complicated to use.
