Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"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 is a good storage solution."
"It is scalable and stable."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"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 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."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"Information is much more readily available."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
