Pros
"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

More Amazon WorkDocs Pros →

"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files.""You can really do a lot of cool things with it in terms of being able to co-author and share documents with users that are not in your organization.""It is a good storage solution.""It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint.""From a small firm perspective, Egnyte Connect is simple, it is easy to get users up and running the same day, and I have nothing negative to say about the software. I can't speak to how Egnyte Connect would operate in a midsize company or even a large Fortune 500 company, but, from our perspective as a small business, it is fantastic.""It provides a way to granularly choose which folders from the internet you want to sync to your computer. It is really useful for people who are working on teams that are working with files that are frequently changing. You can go in and pretty clearly see what changes have been made. It gives you a constant feed.""It is scalable and stable."

Cons
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

More Amazon WorkDocs Cons →

"It would be nice to see an integration of using an active directory to validate and authenticate users on our end as well as on the client user's end.""As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need.""Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync.""You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error.""If this solution had a better ability to search, that would be helpful. In addition, if there was an ability to collaborate, that would also be a benefit. At present, the vision control is had because if someone gets out of it, it locks. And, whoever saves last overrides everyone's work.""The issue of my authorization token expiring pretty quickly was pretty annoying. On pretty much every update, it would expire on every computer. On every computer update, at the first opportunity, it would expire. When my computer got updated or the authorization got cut, my saved drives would get messed up. So, I had to reconnect them all. I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect. It would be a big improvement if there was a cached system so that when it loses connection, it can still save what kind of connections were set up, and when it reconnects, it repopulates all those. I don't know if that's even possible, but that's the feature I'd want."

Egnyte appeals to growing businesses because it offers customizable services and flexible file sharing solutions. Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty, with over 275 agents and employees spread throughout the Atlanta metro area, was struggling to increase the efficiency of staff communication.
