Reliable and secure file access from anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte makes it very easy to access my files from anywhere and on any device. I also appreciate the ability to provide secure, locked external links when sharing documents. This ensures that files remain protected while still being accessible to clients and team members as needed.

Occasionally, the sync can be slower than expected with larger files

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The agency I work for uses Egnyte.
3 years working solidly with Egnyte
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is pretty intuitive, and dragging and dropping large amount of files from my PC is very easy. Also moving or copying files inside the system is fairly easy. The search function works very good as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to easily duplicate a folder. Sometimes I'd rather duplicate a folder instead of creating a template.
For upload links, sometimes is not obvious for clients to hit "upload files" after selecting their files for uploading.

Main CMS for internal catalog and client self serve access to information.
Seamless and Easy File Sharing and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Everyone really is loving how easy it is to access files when not in the office. Being able to access files without VPN, or pulling up pdfs through the mobile app has been mentioned a lot. Being able to continue using the same network drives/windows explorer with other users has been great. Ease of sharing files has also been good, no longer dealing with onedrive or sharepoint for sharing files or to have in-office collaboration has been amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since everything is cloud based there can be some delays when navigating around folders, we have heard some gripes about that. Smart Cache has also been helpful but has caused some issues as well, Egnyte engineers helped us with one major issue which was good. Hopefully Smart Cache can continue to be developed so small issues are resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've always heard complaints about file sharing - Onedrive and Sharepoint permissions can be finicky or a hassle for clients and consultants. With Egnyte, file sharing is pretty easy for users to do and no worries about Microsoft permissions or changes.
We've also always heard about data sprawl, we often want to collaborate on Word and Excel files together and to do that users would have to have a Teams and share that way, or what would most often happen is someone would share from there OneDrive. This caused issues where sometimes people don't know where the file is, who shared it, if someone leaves the company OneDrive files disappeared. This lets us keep all of our files on our own network drives making it much easier for everyone.

I like how easy it is to use. It doesn't get stuck and is very organized.
Their Customer Support is also top-notch! I get questions answered quickly and clearly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing. I like it much better than even Dropbox!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives me a cloud storage as a backup for my system.
Easy to setup and easy to use storage!
What do you like best about the product?
My team was struggling with older server architecture and needed a cloud based solution. I'm not 100% sure this is cloud based but it did fix the issue for us completely. No longer need to log into a VPN at home, and our file management is much improved (i.e. we can co-work on spreadsheets now). What I like best is how naturally it integrates with Office Suite and File explorer. While we are still working on migrating our files, the ones we host with Egnyte are easy to access and easy to edit.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little unclear how their file / item limits work and we had to get a lot of questions answered before we felt it would be up to the task (we have a lot of files and items in our database). So far it's been up to the task and we haven't run into any limits, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Egnyte we would have to log into a VPN and connect to our server via a few clicks. If your PC goes to sleep or you move, you have to re-login. For many people on our team this presented workflow issues and prevented co-editing. We moved our file infrastructure to egnyte to solve these issues and so far so good.
Great Product!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to access files anywhere and on any device, was relatively easy to integrate into our system and implement, and has variety of ways to share files internally and externally
What do you dislike about the product?
Amount of emails administrators get on employees accessing files is excessive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ways to share files with clients/external folks, removing need for VPN
Great value, amazing service, friendly staff
What do you like best about the product?
Our engineering firm shopped around for live file storage solutions that suited our needs, and were disappointed to find that either they didn't completely fit our use case, or were far too expensive for the services offered. When we were recommended Egnyte, we immediately liked their flexible plans, reasonable price, and useful built-in tools. The staff were very helpful in finding a solution that fit our needs, and even assisted with our file transfer, which integrated very smoothly with our existing workflow. Our first year with them has been absolutely amazing. Their platform is reliable day after day, does exactly what we need it to do, and the slight hiccups we have had were quickly taken care of by their excellent support staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
Do expect to receive marketing emails about new features and plan upgrades. So far none of them have been necessary for our workflow, but I do appreciate receiving a heads up about their new offerings, in case one piques our interest in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Due to multiple remote workers currently working for our company, including one in Asia, we were struggling to find high-bandwidth solutions that benefited our entire workforce. It was even harder finding one that kept AutoCAD DWG locks functional, as overwriting work done by another was a high concern for us.
Not only has Egnyte reliably and consistently locked open documents, but all of our users experience very high transfer speeds no matter where they are at. Add in the flexibility of how you can access our files across multiple devices, and Egnyte has fulfilled many key requirements of our workflow

Overall satisfied with the services provided by Egnyte.
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte does a great job governing our data in the cloud. It is easy to use and implement. Their migration team did a fantastic job of ensuring all our data was uploaded and ready to use once we officially changed over from our local server to Egnyte. The desktop interface is easy to use, and their service offerings helped us consolidate other services we were using into one place (such as Dropbox, Hightail, and Log-Me-In). They have options to co-edit O365 files, which is fantastic. And sharing files out of office is a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Egnyte has some growing to do still. We've found that it doesn't always handle file locks as anticipated and intense O365 file sharing (such as a large data heavy Excel file) isn't handled quite as seamlessly as it is in SharePoint. One other disappointment is that you can't run exe files that are stored in Egnyte. We're told that this is for security purposes which makes sense, but it really hampers our ability to push out software deployments, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Along with Egnyte, we've been issuing laptops and now Egnyte allows our staff to work from anywhere as if they are in the office so long as they have access to internet. Sharing and collaborating on files is also a key benefit we gain though Egnyte.
