Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"It is scalable and stable."
"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."
"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 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 a good storage solution."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"It helps you keep organized."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"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."
"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."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"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."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
