Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Microsoft, Google and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."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's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"It is scalable and stable."
"It is a good storage solution."
"The software is friendly to use for mixing data and analyzing it."
"Document management and records management features are the most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."
"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."
"Ability to collaborate with others in one location."
"The implementation and configuring of the resolution are very easy in the online version."
"The collaboration, the ability for multiple users to work on a single document."
"The forms aspect of the solution, for example, the creation of surveys, is its most valuable aspect."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
"This solution is not very stable. It is useful to arrange data but it's not the best for big data. Sometimes we have issues with our reports as a result."
"The product is behind in development and lacks some features."
"The solution needs to be more collaborative. I believe they are just coming up with the themes for this right now."
"The permission management features need improvement."
"I would like to see the integration with Teams reinforced."
"I think these tools do a pretty good job. There is only one area of improvement. Maybe Microsoft can invest a little bit more into the ease at which integration can be done with other third party applications."
"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
