Engyte
What do you like best about the product?
I like best about Engyte is that it allows for companies to share important and pertinent information across all departments on a single platform. It is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about Egnyte but I will say aesthetically it could use some improvements/upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems I am solving with Egnyte is that I am able to pull information information (product information, marketing pieces, testing information, etc). in one platform. I don't have to reach out to other departments becasue Engyte provides me with all of the information I need on one platform. Rather that having the information loaded on a drive, I am able to access the information online which is great when traveling or if the system were to crash.
Streamlining Collaborative Work
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy having my Egnyte drive mapped to my desktop. This is especially helpful when working on large scale projects with other companies. Usually, companies save project files on a local server. Having Egnyte allows us to all use the same 'drive' giving us flexibility, and functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the 'WebEdit' portion of the software when used through the Browser. Before having my drive mapped, my daily workflow revolved around trying to use WebEdit functionality. This works sometimes, for some software plugins. I was having good luck with AutoCAD integration, but not for things like InDesign where 'linking' attachments is key to workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved our issues collaborating with other companies on the same project. No longer do we have to use regular Cloud Based services that put a limit on how much you can store, and functionality of using the software. This has allowed us to realize how easy and how much we can share with others, cutting down time of sending lengthy emails, having duplicate documents for our partners and internally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to map your drive to your computer, and don't just use the Web Browser to access. Many programs that require File Linking via FilePaths rely on this. Also, if integrating with another company, be sure everyone uses the same Drive Letter.
Great for collaborative work:
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and we had limited problems with the service. It is perfect for collaborative work. Easy to share within our business which prevents problems with large transfer of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once you open Word files in the app, you don't see any monitored modifications and misunderstandings happen once you edit documents rapidly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte is used throughout the entire company, we use it for all our submissions and seek not to store documents locally. It is used in agencies and divisions at various locations for coordination. We also use file sharing to exchange files / directories internally to customers. Use Egnyte addressed problems in which we used an external hard drive, sometimes faulty or difficult to access, for all of our mutual files.
Secure Environment That is Easy For All Users
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte has allowed me to share secure information on a platform that is easy to use. From assigning new user to uploading information the system is very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Egnyte has several different user levels that you can assign. Sometimes the user level doesn't match the need of the client. I would like to be able to assign specifically what access they should be assigned instead of having to pick between four prescribed levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte is my secure information exchange product. Prior to Egnyte I sent and received information through secure email. The problem with secure email is the risk of not labeling it secure or sending it to the wrong party. With Egnyte uploading the information into the folder and knowing that only the assigned individuals have access has eliminated the risk of unsecure emailing. Also having the ability to instantly share multiple documents with multiple individuals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate your needs before choosing a platform. Be realistic about the volume of documents. The great thing about Egnyte is that you can start small access and then add new users as you go along.
Access to files from comfort of my home
What do you like best about the product?
I was able to log on from my home computer or laptop anywhere and at anytime to access files to do work outside of the office. Total life saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times I was unable to log in with my username and password. I would get an error when I typed my password. Also, when I transferred large files from my work desktop to the Egnyte drive it took forever initially.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accessing files from home without having to step foot into the office.
Egnyte is my company's "Go To" cloud storage option.
What do you like best about the product?
Egnyte's collaboration with MS file explorer
What do you dislike about the product?
At times it defaults to just showing the Egnyte insignia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte's competitive Pricing is a great benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the value you receive by using Egnyte. Greater storage capacity at a competitive price.
Mostly a good experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like the security/ encryption features and also the fact that Egnyte acts as a native drive on my laptop so that I can open a document, edit it, and save it seamlessly. No downloading, editing, uploading.
I also like sharing documents by links; posting comments to colleagues; and sharing links so people can upload documents.

What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the support information is hard to follow for the non-tech savvy. It isn't written in plain English.
I was instructed to update WebEdit recently and I downloaded it and used the installer. It looked like it worked but I got the same command the next day. Not sure what went wrong. I've had this problem several times.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is able to edit documents without ever having them saved to their hard drives which helps with data security. I like knowing when people have opened a document that I share with them by sharing a link.
Great security, basic elsewhere
What do you like best about the product?
The security features of the software are fantastic. You are able to provide links with passwords, have the links expire and keep separate areas of the cloud for different members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do however dislike that I can't easily create folders within the same folders for separate people who aren't members. You have to create a user and this creates more tedious issues.
Plus, it doesn't have much sophistication in terms of collaborated features (like multiple users editing the same document, it just locks it for one user) and it's interface.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was much smoother than using Dropbox. Less issues of overwriting other people's work, much easier to share documents and much more secure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If security is your primary focus point, Egnyte is hard to beat. With the ability to send files with passwords via a link and expire them by clicks or by time. But it isn't as modern as similar software, and its features are quite basic and are all revolving around security.
Egnyte is a good choice.
What do you like best about the product?
One quality of Egnyte that deserves prominence is security, when hosting and sharing files online there is always a fear of leaking some important confidential file or things like that and Egnyte is very good at giving you the attention it really deserves. realize on the platform that there are several file security features like password protected file sharing where you can put your files for sharing behind a password protected link for viewing and downloading, anyone without the correct password will have no access to what is being shared on that link.
What do you dislike about the product?
Egnyte's web editing functionality is a little to be desired especially compared to its much more intuitive and easy-to-operate local version, it would be interesting if the Egnyte team tried to approximate quality and feature richness from the web version to the local version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Egnyte arrived at our company to be our online storage and file sharing system. We had as our main goal to eliminate the costs of a local server and also reduce the amount of paper accumulated and we achieved this thanks to Egnyte. It was also thanks to him that We now had the convenience of accessing our files from wherever we were since the files were now hosted in the cloud and no longer on a local server or folder.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Egnyte is highly recommended for any company that seeks to share and host files online, it is a tool with interesting features, a fair price and great attention to file security, if this is what you are looking for Egnyte is certainly a option you should consider.
Good fit for our small business storage needs
What do you like best about the product?
We deployed Egnyte to replace an aging NAS device and allow access to files when not in the office. Its worked well for us and was easy to implement. Reasonably priced.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support has been OK, little difficult to communicate with some of the techs, but worked thru it, they do respond quickly. Also strangely enough a little difficult to get in touch with sales to add additional licenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes it easy for employees to retrieve files when not in the office and good version control.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the Storge Sync for on site backup in case of Internet connectivity loss.
