We performed a comparison between Box and Egnyte based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a very user-friendly product."
"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"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 scalable and stable."
"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's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"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 is a good storage solution."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
