What do you like best about Egnyte?

What I like most is Egnyte's virtual hard drive, as it saves me from the high costs of purchasing and maintaining servers. Egnyte platform is super friendly and easy to use and implement. We saved all our admin and project stuffs in Egnyte every day. And Egnyte is very easy to integrate with Microsoft, Adobe, and AudoDesk products. Plus, Egnyte has a very strong customer services team who would be willing to solve our problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

I cannot find any dislike about Egnyte. We have been using Egnyte since 2008 and they only have less than 10 issues that we need to make phone calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Egnyte:

We have been with Egnyte since 2008. They have stored, maintained, and secured our data very well. With Egnyte's virtual hard drive technology, my partners and I can work from home a lot in the night. We even carry our laptops to oversea and keep our business running no matter where we are . When this COVID-19 hit, we have no problem to send our admin employees working from home. Even now, we begin to implement to story the soil lab testing results in Egnyte, and our technician can access the data via their smart phones and get the results right away. Within 12 years of experience with Egnyte, they only have few episodes that requires us to shut down our office for few hours, but thanks to their great customer services and technical team, they responded very quick and get us back to work in no time. Egnyte is a reliable business and partner to work with. I strongly recommend Egnyte to any small or big businesses or even personal freelancer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

The best benefit is we can work any place in the world where WiFi is available. I personally work from Taiwan and can access company data through Egnyte in Taiwan. Their virtual hard drive works very well with Window platform and it literally open files very fast. We have been with Engyte since 2008 the year we started the business. Within 12 years, we only have few episodes and Egnyte's great technical teams responded very fast. When we started with Egnyte 1st few years, there was few connecting issue and file got locked problem and their great customer services solved our problem right away. I have never waited for a long period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

Quick responses and technical expertise when something pops up that you cannont figure out. I also like that people proactively reaach out after we have attended Eqnyte Webinars to provide further information along with answering questions to detemrine where else they can help us. This does not happen very much with most all outside Service Providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

I really cannot see any downsides since we started using Egnyte. They appear to be on the cutting edge of Cloud Server capabilites, software and being prepared for Cybersecurity issues that could and do pop up with a small business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

The issues we tend to run into surround error messages that will pop up when we're moving or copying files over to another area. We are a fast growing BD/IA Firm and we're trying to be even more efficient regarding file accuracy and orgnaization of files so that ALL team members can access what they need.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

Our company setup Egnyte for our remote construction sites with Egnyte in 2019 to ensure that documents and drawings were both secure and properly saved online through Egnyte Desktop. The sites with cellular modems use the caching option, so that they can edit CAD drawings and documents quickly, allowing Egnyte to sync the files in the background. This has ensured that users aren't resorting to working with files on their desktop risking loss or version issues. Having the drawings on an iPad with the Egnyte iOS app also saves on paper, as users move around the construction site. Once a user is set up, I have rarely needed to provide support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

It would be nice if there was another grouping between Power User and Admin, where a project manager could be assigned rights to certain users/tasks, such as recovering from trash something another user mistakenly deleted. Currently, only the user or admin can perform this task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to access files related to a construction project both onsite and in the office. Ability to have access to files both offline in cache and online in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

Aside from providing a fantastic storage and collaboration solution, our account team at Egnyte has been fully engaged with us since our first conversation, and always willing to go the extra mile for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

There is nothing I dislike about Egnyte, but we would like to see more ala carte features available to all plans.

We would also like more granular roles and permissions for our technical team to perform specific tasks like cold storage recovery without having access to sensitive data.

We would also like to have an improved process for moving cold storage files back into our live environment. The current process is very manual and limited to administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Egnyte provides an excellent cloud storage solution for our company, with many built in features to allow collaboration, secure file sharing, and data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

What's least helpful about Egnyte is that I wish more advanced features like edit PDF were available at lower tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

With Egnyte, I have a reliable place to store and access all of my work whenever I need it, making it the perfect choice for file sharing. With this service, I can easily sync my files across all my devices and access them from anywhere. When dealing with large amounts of data or collaborating with colleagues, the time saved by quickly and efficiently uploading and downloading files is invaluable. In areas where mobility is critical, the platform's ability to provide access from any device - at home, in the office or on the road - has proven to be a significant benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

It can take a few minutes to reload files during pauses, and there are a few areas that need improvement, such as folder security (I can't currently lock folders). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization has been using Egnyte as our primary file sharing solution. It allows us to centralize document storage in the cloud and make it available from any device, be it a PC, smartphone, or anything else. When it comes to cross-team collaboration and remote access to critical information, the high level of security for sharing important documents with clients is especially helpful. Incorporating this into your document management strategy gives you peace of mind should you ever need to back up or recover information that you have accidentally deleted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kaveri Mekerira of Egnyte

Thank you for your review, Vahe. You can use permissions to ‘lock down’ a folder (i.e. make it read only for everyone except the owner and admins). I hope this helps.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

So far, I do not have downsides, but I am fairly new to using Egnyte. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

It's so easy to use! Can't imagine a more efficient way to share files and folders with different stakeholders across the board. Great suppot guides and plenty of guidance throw the entire process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It should be more widely used and recognised for its features and ease uf use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

we are now able to share content with a range of different customers with various access permissions. It's easy to update the content without having to re-create links, so websites and portals are always linking the user with the latest file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
