Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It is a good storage solution."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The security feature is valuable."
"Ability to store files of any type."
"The search feature is valuable."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"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."
"Make it more intuitive."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"The product must provide more automation."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
