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.

Building accurate no-code resume screeners has saved weeks in document search workflows
I see room for improvement in Qdrant based on what another platform called Weaviate offers. Qdrant provides an excellent vector database with a solid searching method. However, it could elevate its offering by integrating embedding features. Currently, for the workflow automation I build, I rely on other platforms for embedding, so incorporating this feature directly in Qdrant Cloud would eliminate the need to depend on external solutions. A pain point I have encountered was the inactive expiration of the cloud created for certain projects. If the cloud is not used for a week, it gets terminated, which is frustrating. I think increasing that inactivity window in the free tier would be beneficial, as I have faced limitations due to this seven-day inactivity rule, requiring me to reset up the cloud after its termination.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Now that the Egnyte vendor upgraded the version and they introduced the Egnyte Connect, there are a lot of features that they added, including co-authoring."
"It centralizes the documentation in one area."
"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."
"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."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"If you're looking for a solid cloud DFS solution, I would highly recommend Egnyte."
"It is scalable and stable."
"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."
"Qdrant is one of the best vector databases out there that is also open source."
"An accuracy boost was definitely observed from 45 to 50% using Faiss to around 85 to 95% using Qdrant, and the users are really happy as they are getting suggested really good schemes that would take a lot of time to find."
"We saw a clear return on investment from Qdrant, particularly in the engineering time saved and the empowerment of team members to handle self-service tasks instead of reducing headcount."
"Qdrant is a good and scalable vector database, and it is free."
"Qdrant is an excellent vector database that anyone would want to use with RAG AI."
"Qdrant has positively impacted my organization mainly by reducing usage costs for AI because in the older system, in order to get the context, we were just dumping everything into the system, which would inflate the cost of the API, whatever AI we were using, such as OpenAI or Claude."
"Qdrant has reduced our response time to less than one second for our 128 KB token sizes, and we are satisfied with that performance."
"Qdrant has positively impacted my organization by consuming much less time than building systems through coding."
 

Cons

"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."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"With Egnyte Connect, you cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error, which needs improvement."
"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."
"I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect."
"One of the key limitations is that Qdrant does not have built-in role-based access control, and while being self-hosted is a benefit, it can also be improved."
"Qdrant is pretty good overall, but it can be improved. For example, the UI could be better, and it has pretty much very generic features that every other vector database provides."
"The area for improvement in Qdrant is its clustering capability. While it has clustering functionality, it is not easy to set up, and not everyone can configure the clustering, so there is room for improvement in the clustering configuration."
"A lot of our work is agentic right now, and we have also segmented the content to be logical, so there's not a lot of vector search anymore."
"The file system lock in Qdrant prevents the API and scripts from hitting it directly, and to surpass this limitation, I have to run Qdrant client as a service, which incurs additional costs for running it continuously, so if something about that could be done, it would be really amazing."
"Architectural complexity was a key friction point, as our primary database was set in Supabase, necessitating synchronization of two separate systems for user data, permissions, and states."
"Qdrant is available through a containerized Docker, but a normal deployment in Qdrant is not there, and that can actually be worked out."
"A pain point I have encountered was the inactive expiration of the cloud created for certain projects; if the cloud is not used for a week, it gets terminated, which is frustrating."
 

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."
