John Michael - PeerSpot reviewer
Great search functionality and useful co-authoring capabilities with an easy setup
The best feature is the co-authoring. Before, in Egnyte desktop sync, it didn't have the capability to co-author. Now, since you have Egnyte Connect on your machine, it gives you the capability to co-author on a single file at the same time. 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. You can also access those files and folders using your mobile device, which is good. Some of our advisors don't have a desktop or laptop, so they are just accessing their files via mobile devices or tablets. Before, in Egnyte desktop sync, you could install it on a certain server. Now, with Egnyte Connect, you can install the application on a particular server, and then you can save your file from there. The initial setup is easy. It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint. The search functionality has been good. The user interface is great. Support is great. In Egnyte Connect, you can add more domains if you want to access files and folders.

You can recover disk images from 5 minutes ago in a second but I would also like link aggregation vs MPIO.
* This product is easy to use and does all the work in the background for cloud replication and migration. * Cut costs by 80% on average compared to other co-located storage solutions. * Connectivity and ability to snapshot in the cloud. * Recover disk images from 5 minutes ago in a second and only recover the live data that is immediately needed.
