What do you like best about Egnyte?

Its large storage capacity is one of its most notable features, but what's even better is that it automatically organizes the information it stores. I also like the fact that I can create custom instances; the storage space it provides allows you to import data from different devices (phones, laptops, computers, etc.), which is handy because it prevents your system from slowing down and gives you access to your data whenever you need it. Its uptime and performance are second to none, and it integrates with other applications in an incredible way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

My only gripe with Egnyte is that I occasionally have trouble navigating to the main section of the admin dashboard, which is necessary for some tasks. However, this is far from a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Egnyte has been an incredible asset to our company's file and data storage needs. After setting up automatic storage, all of our quotes, past quotes and contracts, billing information, and media files (such as photos and videos) are securely stored in an easily accessible format. I really appreciate the cloud-based nature and ease of use, as well as the fact that it is accessible from any device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

Aside from providing a fantastic storage and collaboration solution, our account team at Egnyte has been fully engaged with us since our first conversation, and always willing to go the extra mile for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

There is nothing I dislike about Egnyte, but we would like to see more ala carte features available to all plans.

We would also like more granular roles and permissions for our technical team to perform specific tasks like cold storage recovery without having access to sensitive data.

We would also like to have an improved process for moving cold storage files back into our live environment. The current process is very manual and limited to administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Egnyte provides an excellent cloud storage solution for our company, with many built in features to allow collaboration, secure file sharing, and data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Egnyte?

With Egnyte, I have a reliable place to store and access all of my work whenever I need it, making it the perfect choice for file sharing. With this service, I can easily sync my files across all my devices and access them from anywhere. When dealing with large amounts of data or collaborating with colleagues, the time saved by quickly and efficiently uploading and downloading files is invaluable. In areas where mobility is critical, the platform's ability to provide access from any device - at home, in the office or on the road - has proven to be a significant benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

It can take a few minutes to reload files during pauses, and there are a few areas that need improvement, such as folder security (I can't currently lock folders). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization has been using Egnyte as our primary file sharing solution. It allows us to centralize document storage in the cloud and make it available from any device, be it a PC, smartphone, or anything else. When it comes to cross-team collaboration and remote access to critical information, the high level of security for sharing important documents with clients is especially helpful. Incorporating this into your document management strategy gives you peace of mind should you ever need to back up or recover information that you have accidentally deleted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kaveri Mekerira of Egnyte

Thank you for your review, Vahe. You can use permissions to ‘lock down’ a folder (i.e. make it read only for everyone except the owner and admins). I hope this helps.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

Thanks to Egnyte, I was able to establish engagement and sharing mechanisms for constant file sharing, which has a great impact on our day-to-day business. Our company's sensitive and confidential data is protected thanks to its advanced encryption, role-based access restrictions and compliance with numerous security requirements, such as GDPR and HIPAA. Connecting files to the cloud for our storage has proven to be very streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

The program could use some work and more support material on its integration with other platforms; I had to reach out to support to help us with our setup with Google Workspace and Salesforce, and they were great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since our organization stores a lot of data in the program cloud, Egnyte provides us with a very secure environment. It has been important for improving file and project management, fostering a great perspective to reach our peak performance. Likewise, it has been important to be able to have software that can manage large projects and data. It has helped us store a lot of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

We were hesitant to switch to a cloud-based system as we have a considerable amount of data, however Egnyte has been a fantastic solution for us. The stability and ability to use it anywhere, and on nearly any device is what we like the most about Egnyte. We use it every day. Customer support has been very good, when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

I would like to see a more streamlined document/data sharing platform akin to a ShareFile type design. Also, the admin portal is a bit innundating for those of us who aren't IT professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

Egnyte gives us a great platform to have secure data storage for legal documents and sensitive information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Egnyte?

As a reviewer and a heavy user, I gotta say, Egnyte isn't your grandma's cloud storage. It's got all the security features of Fort Knox, but with way less chance of you getting lost in a filing maze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Egnyte?

Alright, so Egnyte definitely keeps your data safe, maybe a little too safe. Sometimes I feel like I need a decoder ring and a top-secret clearance just to access a spreadsheet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. File Sharing Chaos: Gone are the days of endless email attachments and confusing version control. Egnyte keeps everything organized and accessible in one secure place. No more hunting down the "final_final_v3_really_final.docx"!

2. Security Nightmares: Data breaches are a constant worry. Egnyte's robust security features give me peace of mind. My files are encrypted, access is controlled, and I can even track who's viewing or editing them.

3. Peace of Mind: Knowing my data is secure allows me to focus on what matters – actually getting work done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
