Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere

I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops. When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop. Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

Fantastic for small businesses; the customer feedback has been great

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. For us, security was front and center. Usability was also important and took second place. Next, we asked "Is it simple and easy for anyone to quickly learn how to use it?" Egnyte Connect checked that box. Third place for us was price. We liked the fact that they charge on a monthly basis so there is not an annualized upfront fee that we pay.

Reliable, user-friendly, and secure

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not complicated. I’ve done the deployment when I was in Citrix and the deployment for the current customer and therefore have experience doing this a few times. How long the deployment takes is up to the customer in terms of what type of storage zone controller you're going to operate. If you're going to operate on-premise, then you need to have the network team and the server, physical server, the load balances, and storage zone controller storage deployed. It shouldn't take, if the infrastructure is ready, more than a week. IN that time, you can set up the entire full-fledged configuration and have enrollment running if you have all the hardware and the communications ready. That's on the on-premise side. If it's on a specific cloud, even when you purchase the procurement, it won't take even a day. In 24 hours, you will be up and running easily on the ShareFile cloud if you are working with the Citrix cloud. If you're doing a private cloud, then the communication to open the ports between the ShareFile can complain to the private cloud. That might be at least a week, depending on the internal teams. If they work very fast and smoothly, it's a matter of a day. You only need one person to maintain the solution. It’s pretty low-maintenance.

"It is a good storage solution."

"If you're looking for a solid cloud DFS solution, I would highly recommend Egnyte."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"To improve Dropbox Business - Enterprise, I would suggest making it faster than it is currently and arranging the interface to be more user-friendly."

"Dropbox could probably be improved around the integrated security, but those options are probably available. I don't have much of a view on improvements, based on the relatively few occasions that I use it."

"I would like to see integration with Office products, it would be very helpful."

"Not sure about security, I'm cautious."

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The complex initial setup phase of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The free storage amount should be increased."

"Dropbox needs to improve its integration with Google platforms, including Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides, which facilitate easier collaboration."

More Dropbox Business - Enterprise cons

"I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"With Egnyte Connect, you cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error, which needs improvement."

"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."

"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."

"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."

"The user interface is not very intuitive."

"Would like more granular folder ownership administration."

"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices."

"Reporting features could be better Support could be better; we don't usually need it but I have read a number of complaints from users with more complex implementations (API use, AD integration) that have had issues."

"Some of our customers are facing issues when sending files outside their company."

"Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."

"They should integrate the solution with more email services."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version of Dropbox which has approximately two gigabytes of data capacity."

"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."

"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."

"The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity."

"It has some free features, but for some of the features, you need to pay. If you need more storage, then you need to pay. Its licensing probably is on a monthly basis."

"I am on a monthly subscription for the solution and I am somewhat satisfied with the pricing. However, the price could a bit better."

"One area that has been a big issue for me is when I tried to close my accounts, it is difficult. We had small personal accounts, and we then wanted to consolidate everything to the business account, but then to cancel and close those smaller accounts, it's a big issue. I still haven't done it and it's quite a long process."

"We pay a monthly subscription fee."

More Dropbox Business - Enterprise pricing and cost advice

"I do not have experience with the pricing of this solution."

"As far as I understand, licenses are associated with the Egnyte platform. There aren't any licenses associated with Egnyte Connect."

"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of five."

"You have to work hard in order to get the suitable licenses."

"If you are already a Citrix customer, I recommend having the Platinum licensing level, as it provides licensing for a number of various features that all integrate together."
