Chief Operating Officer at Quarem
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.

Improved data migration has supported governance and AI matching yet still needs smoother self-service
I would not characterize it as a drawback, but there are a few things which were good at that time but have now become stable. The older transformations that have degraded now have to be changed. I would not say it has to be something that needs to be updated or upgraded, but the bottom line is there needs to be updates for data migration and all that. Multiple companies, including my consulting service firm, have created accelerators for upgrading those things. Ultimately, I would say that it is still stable. If there is nothing to be updated or created, then our job would be done. I would say it is mixed regarding self-service data preparation features for non-technical users, as it is a tool that has been around for a long time. There is a significant amount of information on the internet to help us out, including many KB articles. However, I would suggest to Informatica that there should be a different approach in providing KB articles and information. The information should be provided in a seamless way for the entire functions, not in bits and pieces across different places. For instance, if I need to create a data model, the entire process flow, including database objects, entity objects, business entities, entity views, and all that should be presented in that particular direction as a project situation, rather than scattered across plain sections.

Pros

"If you're looking for a solid cloud DFS solution, I would highly recommend Egnyte."
"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."
"It centralizes the documentation in one area."
"It is a good storage solution."
"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."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files, as all files are secure and available, and any authorized person can access and download the files from anywhere with an internet connection."
"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."
"Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud has pretty good services to handle data governance, data lineage, and data management."
"Ultimately, I would say Informatica is still leading in the entire MDM space with multiple different users."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect."
"With Egnyte Connect, you cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error, which needs improvement."
"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."
"I have not seen any return on investment at the moment or any tangible benefits so far."
"For Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud in general, as a product and service, I would rate it somewhere between seven to seven point five, particularly for the AI part because it is still new and still needs multiple refinements and efficiencies."
 

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."
