What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a serious network issue earlier in the year, and coupled with the shelter-in-place order we had to migrate to a more user-accessible platform with decent security features immediately. The productivity benefits for our almost 99% stay-at-home workforce has been huge.
Right now we're still in the process of uploading file data to Egnyte, and have been using the recommended SyncBack Pro for this task. It would be excellent if Egnyte had a partnership with a company that offered that sort of product to make the transition more seamless. Still, very happy with the results of using that software for data upload.
We've also realized the utility of having users able to restore older versions or deleted files themselves, that's taken a lot of work off our plate. One feature we would like to see implemented is a user-accessible method to archive files or folders into Amazon Glacier instances via the Egnyte website. We're happy to hear that a product is being developed to script automated movement of files between instances so that we could have a secondary instance available as an archive storage platform (and thus pay less for storing that sort of data tier), but we'd like to empower our users more to do that sort of things themselves.
Another bit that would be helpful is a feature much like Newforma's email filing capability, where users - via Outlook or from within the Gmail web interface - file emails directly into project folders. That would be a HUGE help when wrapping up projects for clients.
Lastly, we also had a demo of their "Protect" service, which was a great fit for us in usability, but the price/benefit ratio isn't there yet. Given it's based on storage capacity instead of user count, the cost they were estimating would have been about the same cost as running the entire platform itself; that's way too high for us, unfortunately. Maybe if the company in question had strict oversight requirements which were required by the state/federal government or regulatory bodies.

Having it easily available on all of my devices (Mac, MacBook Air, iPhone)
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the server crashes or doesn’t open files right way within folders

It saves the amount of storage I use on my own devices, and it’s another level of document saving security. Plus, it’s great that I can easily see what a coworker has saved versus emailing them to ask for it!

Egnyte is a safe, efficient resource that connects every individual from every level of your company. Documents are preserved after years of storage, and it’s so easy to share files with co-workers!
