We performed a comparison between Egnyte and Microsoft 365 Business based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"It is a good storage solution."
"It is scalable and stable."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"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."
"The Power BI environment and the integration between Power BI and SQL are the solution's most valuable features. The integration between products is great."
"I think the flexibility of Teams very good."
"The most useful thing about it is Microsoft OneDrive. It helps me back up everything on my laptop. If I lose my laptop, I can confidently buy a new one and get back my previous work files. I like the Microsoft Office package, Microsoft Word, presentation, and Excel. I like that it is very easy to use, especially for a Mac user. They have a very big community, and whenever I get stuck or have questions, I just ask Google, and then I get the answer immediately."
"Microsoft 365 Business is stable."
"like Outlook. Outlook is an email solution, and we're using it every day for daily communication."
"OneDrive feature is great."
"The flexibility of having a subscription for the Office software, rather than having any upfront costs is the best part of this solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is Microsoft Teams."
"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."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"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."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"It should support the local language. It should also be cheaper."
"The price can always be improved."
"It can have more integrations with other platforms."
"The solution could integrate better with other products such as Skype and Zoom, at the moment it slows down the computer."
"Their support should be improved in terms of faster response and better resolution."
"Bandwidth usage is not always the same depending on the network connection."
"They can improve their training materials."
"It would be better if they offered more integrations to integrate with other platforms. It should also allow the content to be accessed over the LTI."
