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.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It centralizes the documentation in one area."
"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."
"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."
"It is a good storage solution."
"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."
"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."
"I am a fan of Informatica and it is definitely a product that I recommend because of its inbuilt capabilities."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The product provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication, machine survivorship, and other things."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"I think the most valuable part of Informatica is the flexibility in extending the data model."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"With Egnyte Connect, you cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error, which needs improvement."
"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."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"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."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"The tool is quite good overall, but sometimes the number of modules can be overwhelming. If the development interface could be optimized to have fewer modules, it would be greatly beneficial."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"I've found that whatever functionalities are available on-prem, can become a bit of a challenge sometimes in the cloud."
"The scalability is tough."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."
 

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."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
